That's awesome! I'm really out of the sci-fi series since the whole mess with Stargate.
I very much love Lucy Liu as Watson. I must admit I'm not a Sherlock fan. I didn't get into it with Robert Downy Jr. version and haven't tried with anyone else. What I love about the show is how Lucy Liu is so unapologetic about what she does. She helps addicts recover, and it never feels like she feels that she's downgraded in her place in life. At the same time, she's finding this new part of herself dealing and helping Sherlock.
And I love that despite everything, Watson is not inferior to Sherlock in any way. Sherlock is smart, yes, but Watson's contributions are important. She's not a sidekick. I love that.
And of course, there is the relationship between them. There's nothing sexual in it, but at the same time it's a friendship in the making. They're not family, and they don't need to be. Which is a very hard thing to write and have work as well as it does. As you can tell, I really love this show. I love female characters that defy stereotype. Real people. We don't see enough of that and it's a shame.
