Does anyone know if there's an LJ comm for the new CBS show Elementary?

and also, would anyone be interested in some icons from the first episode?

I guess you really liked Elementary? I thought it was meh. Way too much exposition for my tastes, I think. They talked the whole time. I know they had a lot of backstory to cover but it really didn't do anything for me.

There were also some things about the episode I just didn't understand. Like why the poor murdered woman built a saferoom she didn't tell her husband about. IDEK. It just didn't hang together for me. NOT that Hawaii Five-0 is perfect in its story-telling. But all the pretty distracts me.

I'm not a 'Baker Street Irregular' so I guess I'm not the target audience. And all of Sherlock's anti-social behavior (which is really one of his defining traits) annoys me. That kind of renders it impossible for me to fully enjoy any adaptation.

I really wanted to like it, really. But it left me cold. (And I'm sorry.)

I was wondering what others thought of it, though.

Will you share what you really liked about it? Maybe I can look at it from a different viewpoint.

I really enjoyed Elementary. I like the idea of it and I think it can only get better. I've also loved Jonny since Hackers (and Trainspotting), and Lucy since Ally McBeal. She was pretty much the one reason I ever watched that show. I still need to see the BBC's Sherlock with Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman. And I should really read some of the Sherlock books.
