Elementary (TV Series) Paint It Black (2014) User Reviews

Looks can be deceiving

[Harun_Karali · 9/10 · 2 May 2014]

This specific episode put a magnifying glass on Mycroft, At first they focused all the attention to Watson and the emotional reaction that Holmes has, when he finds out that she has been kidnapped. Naturally he takes it out on his brother as he was in business with the men that took her.

Towards the end of the episode I thought that Sherlock would save Watson, as that is what happens in classic TV shows. But I was pleasantly surprised to see that Mycroft had a few tricks up his sleeve.

I am curious to see who Mycroft really is, and how it will impact Sherlocks life.

Great Show & Great Episode

This show is becoming increasingly better. The character arcs are becoming longer and more complex, the dynamic with the more present Mycroft adds a third element that really rocks the boat. And one is beginning to see the cost of genius for both Sherlock and Mycroft. All this is thoroughly enjoyable to watch.

Admittedly, I find Sherlock hard to understand at times, but be it context or diction - there must be something hard to follow with a legendary mind as his...

Lucy Liu is exceptional. As an actor and as a director. This interpretation of Sherlock and Watson is fun to watch.

I am very happy that the police are not caricatured as Lestrade & Co. usually are. They are very well portrayed and I enjoy the respect the main characters have for each other.

Looking forward to more.

Good Show - Not a Good Episode

Mycroft is getting old.

Mycroft is just plain irritating.

And why the spy-game, one or the other - not both.

So now we have Sherlock Bond?

Please, get back to what works...or not...I can leave.

Come on guys, I get it, the accent is cute...but why can't Mycroft be French or Italian.

Just kidding, but Mycroft Is a pain and he added a whole lot of "boring" to the show.

Anyways, I like the old show, but if you are moving to another world...do it without me
