Oh, don't worry, I went into it expecting that. But just because I knew it wouldn't be the same tone or kind of story as Sherlock Holmes doesn't mean I can't compare the two detectives. Psych's protagonist (whose name escapes me at the moment) just isn't as interesting as the other quirky detectives I know. Good for a few laughs, but not enough to make me interested in watching the whole show.
I recently finished the first season of Supernatural, and absolutely
loved it. I can certainly see why some people would have issues with it, since it
does deal with a lot of spiritual things, including but not limited to demon possession. But I just
loved the character interactions. At first, I wasn't sure I would like it very much because it seemed to focus a lot more on the action than deep characterization, and the writing seemed pretty weak at times. But the longer it went on, the more everything improved, till I was sitting mesmerized by the acting, at least (I doubt the writing of this show will ever be Joss Whedon-esque). I could read every single word they didn't say on their faces - especially Dean's. My favorite kind of relationships are brotherly and fatherly ones, so this is the
perfect show for me. I loved every single conversation that dug down into the family dynamics, and after episode 14, I ended up crying in every single episode!
Wonderful, breathtaking, riveting show. Definitely watching the second season when I get a chance.
