HOW DO YOU WATERCOLOR LIKE THIS HOW

here’s my deal with CBS’ “elementary”.

i think it could have been really cool if they had instead cast a female as sherlock. i’m a little afraid the creators cast a woman as watson for no reason other than to give american audiences that familiar and charming female-with-male-lead dynamic, witty flirty banter and all. which is cool, nothing inherently wrong with it when done well, but i still feel a little off about watson being “the female”. i’m going to reserve any real judgements until i’ve actually seen an episode, but i can’t help but feel suspicious of the choice at this point.

the story of the roguish genius and his admiring female sidekick is a trope. it’s been done and done again and again in film and on tv. but the creators of elementary made a conscious decision to switch up the genders with their holmes and watson, and i have to wonder WHY they chose to cast watson as that woman. a female sherlock would have, in my opinion, made for a really intriguing and new character as far as sherlock holmes adaptations and tv in general goes. it’s the sort of character that women rarely, if ever, get to play.

it just feels so easy to have watson as the woman, because it’s still well within the comfort zone of that male/female sidekick dynamic. which is not at all to say that liu won’t play a fantastic, fresh take on watson. my hope is that the characters function as a team with watson as a strong, badass character (and not just a sassy-yet-somehow-deferential sidekick), and that the creators of elementary will subvert that trope and not just play into it. that would be awesome.
