Oh yeah, you know what? I never saw them, just the advertisements were 
signs enough to stay away.

That's what I don't get, why do these characters have to be "Sherlock" etc ?

That's what I have with reboot in general or where some series are going 
like Star Trek etc. Why do we have to keep the name when it becomes 
something else? Do we lack so much imagination?

It's not like instead of producing a new series, we decide to adapt Buck 
Rogers to make it a Star Trek instead of inventing new characters.

Are we too lazy to invent new situations and characters ?

All this looks more and more like the fanfic would have found on 
LiveJournal in 2002.

Sad
