Eh, I read the book and didn't get that from it, so opinions can differ. Totally bashing Watson can be anything people decide; I felt this was just making a slightly less intelligent Watson (like some -- many -- of the adaptations have over the years), but also a sweet and nice man, who just wasn't in it a lot.

The focus was on someone being mentored by Holmes. It was a yougn woman. I found that fascinating - not everyone will. :)
