‘Sherlock’ Co-Creator Mark Gattis Says the Show Won’t Be Revived: “No. We had our go, and we struck gold with Benedict and Martin. I mean, what would be the point?”

They did a great job at first but then they very quickly fell victim to self-awareness and alternately pandering to and actively fighting against their fans. I still love the show, but by the time they got to the sister with mutant telepathic powers, they kind of lost me. Might have been better if they'd written the show as having literal superpowers from the beginning.
That entire 4th season was just a WTF.

If you like Sherlock, try the BBC's version with Jeremy Brett. They did all the original stories with a high budget.
"A Scandal In Bohemia" https://youtu.be/ZaDfTP7zohQ
For something noncanon, "The 7% Solution."
Sherlock's cocaine problem is out of control and only Doctors Freud and Watson can save him.
Jeremy Brett is my favorite Sherlock. It's like David Suchet and Poirot, he just nails it.
Try the movie. Robert Duval as Watson is an unexpected treat.
Two great seasons followed by completely disappearing up their asses and cheapening everything that had come before by association.
I disagree. I think the show was always mid but Martin and Cumberbatch carried it. Moffat writing sucks
Same idea with Firefly. How the show was treated and the result was terrible, and it would have been great to have a better start and longer run to get more content. But we got what we got, and you're not going to capture it again. The bright side is it avoided going on too long.
Battlestar Galactica could be a rare example of doing a redo well, although for nostalgic sake I'm still more a fan of the original, even though there's less there content-wise.
BSG is kind of a bad example when the first half of the fourth season was so bad because of the writer's strike.
Check out "Lost In Space" on Netflix.
It helps to watch a couple of episodes of the 1960s original, because they took the stupidest stuff and reworked it into something really good.
bsg is pretty bad example, because the showrunner dint like the original series, so he dint like the "trek-ness" of the og series so he implemented his own, messianic christian themed show, many people dint like the fact that this happened.
They love bringing shows back for a Christmas episode of a red nose day thing decades later
