The potential get-together is one of two reasons I never bothered with Elementary. The instant they said 'female Watson' I figured that's where it was going to go and I'm oh so tired of that because it happens in every damn show with a male-female duo. I know the writers say it won't happen, but hooking up the leads is the go-to when the ratings start to dip (an inevitability as a show ages and they run out of ideas) so I'd be shocked if the series ends without so much as a temporary hook-up.

If by some miracle it does, I might give it a try if I can overcome my other aversion to it: Sherlock Holmes set in America. Even if he himself is still British, it just doesn't seem right. To me, Sherlock Holmes doesn't fit in the American landscape any more than Supernatural would be the same if it were set in the UK. Sherlock Holmes in London is a British icon. Setting Sherlock Holmes in America seems like it would make him just another detective in yet another cop show set in, big surprise, NYC, although with a cooler accent and a more-recognizable name. It just feels off to me. Even having a few eps of Dr Who set here felt weird; and that guy goes to other planets so it makes sense he could show up in the US from time to time. Still seemed weird.

I can't help but think that they're going to go there as well, and thereby fully display the homophobia for which Hollywood is so famous.

Ahaha you're right! Especially compared to how incredibly progressive and non-homophobic BBC Sherlock is! Come on, the tag line of that show is practically 'no homo'.. So not just Hollywood.

They already had an episode with a trans character, and I don't remember that going badly.

Yeah, the only reason the female Watson concept bothered me was because it felt like a transparent excuse to have a romantic duo. I just don't want that. But I gave it a chance and really liked the series, so I'm going to keep my fingers crossed that the showrunners will see the sense (and inherent awesomeness) of a platonic crimefighting duo.

I also thought the set-in-America thing would bother me, too. That's what makes it feels most unlike Sherlock Holmes to me, even though it's a good program in its own right. But honestly, it manages not to be a Law & Order clone, and while NYC is not London, they're both large cities and have a lot in common. It does work, just... slightly different. I'm learning to appreciate the differences.
