      It's been over a decade since I've read them. I remember enjoying them but not much else! And now I've watched Sherlock, House, The Mentalist, parts of Elementary (barf), the movies, and The Great Mouse Detective. I should revisit the stories

      I almost want to say, abysmal personality flaws aside, House did Holmes pretty well. I'd say the thing it gets right the best is that the urge to investigate is part of an addictive personality that Holmes doesn't manage very well.

      That said, Holmes is obviously MUCH more of a functional human than House, and House needed to be punched about three times per episode, not to mention fired.

      Monk is also an interesting Holmes pastiche with a completely different kind of neurodiversity. But seriously, the best one besides Elementary is Zero Effect.

      Adrian Monk's older brother, Ambrose Monk, is one of the truest-to-the-text versions of Mycroft Holmes I've ever seen

      YES. It's a show i find hard to watch for Reasons, but i think it's generally very compassionate to its characters.

      I really need to finish Monk. I just tend to get uncomfortable watching it. I think because of how often the humor is based in embarrassment and...I don't know, maybe I'm too empathetic or something. I just don't enjoy it. It's a big reason why I can't do sitcoms.

      I had to stop watching Monk because of some insultingly bad script handling of a scene with a gun like, a cop mishandling a gun? sure (shit, they do it often enough IRL) but there is a SUBSTANTIAL weight difference between one with a loaded magazine and one with an empty magwell

      Oh yeah, but most dumb procedurals get that shit wrong, i completely ignore that stuff. If i nitpicked dumb TV i couldn't watch it.

      This one is an extremely common thing that is annoying because it's so OBVIOUSLY ridiculous to anyone who's ever even touched a gun But you let it go for the sake of drama

          It has the excuse that usually makes me accept most silly tropes I.e. there's a real thing that it's standing in for that could work just as well for the plot but it would be too hard to explain for a normie audience and not worth the time (taking out the firing pin)

          Ironically the one instance of this trope where this really clearly wouldn't be possible is the most famous one, Die Hard (where John McClane obviously hasn't had time or leisure to take apart one of his guns for cleaning before his encounter with Hans)

          Oh, sure, i mean, i've handled lots of firearms. I'm a pretty good shot with a handgun. I just don't watch stupid procedurals for accuracy in literally any aspect of reality; if i did, i wouldn't bother.

          I mean, literally everything about forensics is also made the fuck up in basically every procedural, you know? They take place in a fantasy world where firearms are lightweight & forensics are magic & cops are competent and good. None of these things are true in our world!

          Yeah, there are just some things that ruin shit for me, especially if it's already kinda marginal (Monk made me fairly uncomfortable before that episode). I roll my eyes at most gun stuff (even though some of it is stuff that'd get people killed), but that was a last straw.
