Elementary: Season 4
Hey Guys,
here we go with the fourth season of Elementary, which is at the time my favorite Crime-Series. When I started season three I knew he would take drugs again, but I thought it would be happen sooner than the finale. But I really loved it that way. The fourth season is really good but sadly not as good as the two season before. But totally better than season one.
Developement of Sherlock
The reason why I love this series so much is the developement of Sherlock. If someone would turn into an episode now, he may thing that not much of Sherlock Holmes is in it (that is what many people I talk to said). But does it has to be? Sherlock from the first season was a different person than the Sherlock of season fourth. He changed a lot – Not in a unlogic way. No he slowly developed into the person we see now. It is amazing to see what person Sherlock had become. I remember the Sherlock from season one who didn’t had a person he cared about except Irene. He had respect for a few people but couldn’t careless about their personal life and problems as long his work is not influenced. The person we see today cares about so many people. I mean he really cares. He tries really hard to help these people he cared about. He open up to them when he thinks that this can help them. He starts to accept boundaries. He actually starts to care about hurting the people around him with his way of acting.
I love to see how he changed.
He is at a low point in this season. He used drugs again and he has to deal with it and to deal with what people may think about him now. Also he has to live with the consequences of what he did and that it not just influenced him.
Morland Holmes
Morland Holmes – Sherlocks father – is the main theme of this season. What is a plus point and a minus point. We get to know a lot more about Sherlocks life before Watson. We see the relationship between these two what give us a lot of emotional stuff. We see these two working on a relationship and failing… or maybe in a way succeeding? We see how similar these two are and how different. It is really amazing stuff. But on the other hand. It is about the attempt on Morlands life and who is behind it. It is about a conspiracy in the dark. Sadly the crime part of the series and all the other characters come a little short because of that.
I for my part like the personal stuff and didn’t need any of the other. But here we go with everything.
The arc about Morland is with the finale closed for know. I really like how the portrait the relationship between them. I read through a lot of comments about these two and found many different opinions. The finale doesn’t make clear what person Morland Holmes is. It doesn’t give us facts it just gives us what we want to see. Some wanted to see a loving father and i see someone who may love his son but would use him anyway – I don’t trust a word out of Morlands mouth. I think he is a really bad father and Sherlock would be better without him. But look and make your own opinion. I would love to hear what you think of Morland Holmes.
The greatest team
When sadly Marcus and Gregson came a little short. They have their episode which are really good but sadly in the other episode they are more background noise. But Watson has a lot space to shine. We see her growing and handle things. We see the amazing partner ship between Sherlock and her, which is getting deeper and deeper. The trust between them, the openness about their feelings and problems and the way they try to protect each other… it is amazing to see. I love the dynamic. We don’t just get to know more about Sherlocks family we learn a lot more about Watsons family. We see her act without Sherlock and coming up with cases and solutions. She is not someone who gets impressed by Sherlock. Now she is someone who gets to the solution 20 minutes before Sherlock. She doesn’t need to hide behind him. She is good at what she does and she knows it.
I am someone who ships Sherlock and Watson – in every version I watched Sherlock Holmes. I do it in Elementary too. But I also love these platonic love between them that goes over everything. They are it for each other. They will always choose each other and do anything for each other. They love each other so deeply that it warms my heart even more to see Watson helping Sherlock to actually start a real relationship with a person he is interested in.
Watching or not
Like I said at the start season two and three are way better than this season. But this season is amazing and alone for the development of Sherlock and Watson on their own and in this relationship is worth watching it. But I also have to admit that there were episode I thought that maybe Elementary should end soon. But after the finale I am again totally in love with the series and can’t wait to actually look the fifth season and a sixth and seven…
So yes go watch it.
