Woody Harrelson and Matthew McConaughey (0 more)
Great first series, extremely dark
If you watch the first series DO NOT watch the second series which is a total let down in comparison. The partnership between Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson is absolutely stellar, acting at its highest level. The story is hideously dark, and the two actors, who are fatally flawed, are completely perfect for the role. It surrounds a serial killer who murders young girls in a cult-like fashion, and the coming together of these two detectives after many years to try and finally solve it. A really well done first series.

This book was unlike anything I've read before in that the characters are stage actors playing detectives in order to solve a case on their own without involving police (due to specific reasons that are laid out over the course of the story). It makes total sense now, but I never would've thought that undercover police work is basically just acting, so who better than actual actors to do the work? It's such an interesting story, and I would recommend it to anyone who likes a little mystery and detective stories with a bit of a twist on the usual.

If House were a detective we might get this much snark.
I personally love Elementary. I get that it is improbable, that there is no way someone can finish mysteries like these with this much interesting discovery. I feel confident that the police forces and detectives are not as slow as Sherlock makes them seem.

And yet, I love the snark. I love the inprobablity of this show, of tiny disparate elements coming together as Sherlock’s eccentric mind flips them about. I love watching Joan find ways to communicate with him. I can’t wait to see what comes next!
