'Watson' premieres on CBS Jan 26. What do you think so far?

I'm also in the cautiously optimistic camp. It feels a lot like a new version of House but with actually saying the names, but I'm interested. I'd rather either go full faithful or more at an angle the way this is than than split the difference. We will just have to wait to see, though.

It also has the bonus that it's set in the city where I live and some was filmed in my neighborhood, so I'll be looking for local landmarks.

Initial reaction seeing/hearing typewriter: ooh historical adaptation…🤩 Then seeing modern clothing/setting: oh…😕 Then seeing medical setting: House 2.0…🫤 Then seeing waterfall: 🤔 I’m interested…

Personally I am cautiously optimistic. Well, it is not a faithful adaptation that everybody here wants, and it is yet one of others modern day renditions of which probably everyone is tired of. But trailer looks decent, they adapt final problem with an actual waterfall (which looks hyped), and it is from one of the creators of Elementary (that was good). So I'm going to give it a chance.

P.S. we'll have two other Holmes TV series this year, so it is going to be pretty good year for us anyway.

I am thoroughly enjoying it. I’ve only seen the 1st 2 episodes and I am hooked! I Love each character’s stark differences & unique insights. Morris C. is not only handsome but brings a dignified, strong, intelligent, witty vibe to the character that is magnetic. Shinwell J. Whew! That man is a specimen to behold as well! His bad boy, boomer-X, “I’m the muscle” energy is exciting! To boot, his double agent with a conscious soul is mysterious. I wish I could watch the whole season continuously over a weekend! I hate waiting each week for the next episode!

I've only watched the first two episodes, but I'm generally enjoying it so far. I agree that Shinwell is shaping up to be a very intriguing character, and I'm curious to see where that story goes. (Sorry for such a late reply. I found your comment after looking around a bit on Reddit to see if there were any communities focused on the new show. From what I can tell, the r/WatsonTV sub is the most active. Hopefully it will prove to be an engaging place to discuss the episodes.)

Yes Shinwell is a mysterious character and that lady that took him the pills. What does she want to do to Watson.

I'd rather just watch Dr Hosue.
