Elementary is one of those shows I keep coming back to. Second favourite all time for good reason. Jonny Lee Miller's Sherlock is absolutely the best TV version. Razor sharp, intense, but still human. The chemistry with Lucy Liu is effortless. I've lost count of the rewatches. It just hits right every time. What elevates this Sherlock is the complexity, the messiness. You get the brilliance and the flaws, the blind spots, the emotional fallout, and that's why it lands. Yeah, it's procedural, but the character writing is way better than it has any right to be. It makes the case of the week thing almost beside the point. That said, the Shinwell arc is the one detour that never quite worked for me. Still, this show's something special.
For me, Game of Thrones is the greatest TV show ever made.
Everything about it hooked me from the start. The world-building, characters, politics, battles, music, and constant twists made it unlike anything else on television. It delivered some of the most memorable moments I've ever seen in a TV series, and even years later those scenes still have the same impact.
I've watched the entire series seven times, and I still get goosebumps. Very few shows can keep me that invested after so many rewatches, but Game of Thrones somehow manages it.
Of course, the final two seasons weren't as strong as the earlier ones, and I understand why some fans were disappointed with how certain storylines ended. But despite those shortcomings, nothing else I've watched has managed to top it.
No show is perfect, and every great series has its flaws. When I look at the complete journey, Game of Thrones still stands above the rest. If you've never seen it before, I'd highly recommend giving it a chance. Despite the criticism surrounding the ending, it's an incredible experience that every TV fan should watch at least once.
