Every Sherlock Holmes remake that tries to make Watson the straight man does him a great injustice. Mfer is a total madlad. Everyone’s like “oh he’s not addicted to hard drugs and doesn’t do chemistry experiments in his bedroom for fun” there are subtler ways to be completely unhinged.
The thing is, Watson may or may not instigate the Situations & Shenanigans, but he voluntarily spends most of his Sherlock Holmes, who DOES!
““Normal”“ people do not do that.
Watson will show up at Holmes’ place and be like “are you doing any investigations of super weird shit today” and Holmes will be like “yes I am cornering this dangerous mass murderer, you should come and bring your gun in case anyone tries to shoot us” and Watson will do it without question, thinking “I’m so glad he’s got something wholesome to distract himself with so he doesn’t take more cocaine”.
I hate this fact but ONCE AGAIN, House M.D. continues to be the most accurate Sherlock Holmes remake
