Query: A horrid adaption

This American attempt to update the Sherlock Holmes series might appeal to those who have never read the books or seen any of the BBC adaptions of them. I am not adverse to trying to update the series but this is whiny rather than witty, crass instead of clever, substituting P.C. platitudes for plots with finesse. Unlike the BBC re-imagining in Sherlock, which pays homage to the original and then spins the storyline in a whole new updated direction, this bears no resemblance, other than the names, to the original. NOT WORTH THE TIME. Buy the BBC series instead and see what it could have been.
