Yes, I hate Elementary, alot. Don't be jerk about it. Everyone are allowed to have opinions, even me, you Elementary fanbrats. I think Mark Gattis and Steven Moffat do much better work than Robert Doherty. The reasons why do I love Sherlock and hate Elementary, are:
1) BCS took British icon and sent him into New York City: Really? Why they did that? I’m not against changing milieu myself, I do that, too, but it might insult Sherlock Holmes fans who live in books' canon. I bet England/Arthur tries to strangle America/Alfred right now because of this. (OMR, I have to draw picture about this! XD) BBC’s version at least is faithful to original books. If Sherlock Holmes is once moved in USA, then let’s take Arsené Lupin in Hong Kong, Prhyne Fisher in Ireland or William Murdoch in Russia. Or much better, let’s change Hercule Poirot into Canadian who moves to Kenya. Fair trade.
2) America already has modern version of Sherlock Holmes, and he’s called House: If you compare these two, you can notice similar things from them. In both, main character is anti-social genious. In both, main character has a friend who keeps his side to the end. And the whole set-up: House = Holmes, Wilson = Watson, piano = violin, Vicodin = cocaine, mysterious ailment = mysterious crime.
3) Benedict Cumberbatch is better Sherlock Holmes: Unlike Johnny Lee Miller, Benedict looks like Sherlock Holmes. He has every Sherlock’s trait (except his nose). Johnny may be good actor, but he doesn’t look like Sherlock at all. He looks more like doctor House. Even Robert Downey Jr. looks more Sherlock Holmes than Jonny Lee Miller.
4) Martin Freeman is better doctor Watson: If I can say this wasn’t racist or misogynist in any level, I have nothing against Lucy Liu’s sex or race, even though I prefer Watson as white male. I hate that decision, because it's unnecessary. And romance between Sherlock and Joan is so clear, expected and cliché. I bet if they have turned Holmes and Watson into gay couple, the series wouldn’t be serious anymore. Gattis and Moffat's series gives fans shows bromance between Holmes and Watson without stupid gay mocking. These two are the most believable gay couple I've ever seen, even thoguh it isn't canon.
5) Robert Doherty’s idea to change Irene and Moriarty into the same person: What the-- XD Let me laugh. What similiarities they have? That’s something really unexpected, reminds me of crossover fanfictions where Harry is Gandalf and Hermione is Sauron. People could keep that sacrilege. I think that’s little absurd, but not sacrilege.
6) It doesn’t explain things enough: I mean, how people explain why Holmes is so intelligent? Mark Gattis and Steven Moffat at least explained it. And it was explained with that Sherlock has Asperger syndrome. Small and simple. Why he didn't explain his intelligence with something like that? Are watchers too ableist that they can’t accept that kind of explanation?
7) The name of the series: What kind of name is that? It has nothing to do with Sherlock Holmes. Image you’re someone who has never watched it. They see the name Elementary, and they’re automatically thinking “Oh, it’s some kind of school drama about teachers”, and what they see? Sherlock Holmes, and they disappoint and get angry. Not very good name choice, BCS.

If you like the stamp, you're allowed to use it. It costs nothing.

I also prefer Sherlock than Elementary. But it is a very interesting question... I think Elementary's last season wasn't too bad and I'm happy, because they don't have any relationship whit each other. That would be weird a littlebit.... Actually I just wached the first and the last two seasons of the show, but this new things (New York etc.) were an interesting experience.
