Nothing But Netflix: Watson
Welcome to “Nothing But Netflix” with your hosts Rob Cesternino and Chappell! Get ready for an entertaining and insightful podcast where we dive deep into the world of Netflix shows.
This week, Rob and Chappell look at the new CBS medical drama, Watson. The series, described as a “medical drama with detective elements”, is centered around the character of Dr. John Watson from Arthur Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes stories. One year after Sherlock Holmes’s apparent death at the hands of his archenemy Moriarty, Dr. John Watson resumes his medical practice by opening the “Holmes Clinic” in Pittsburgh to treat patients with strange and unidentifiable issues. Soon however, Watson must face his past when evidence surfaces indicating that Moriarty is still alive.

00:02:24
So I went to my computer and realized that there was so much content before my eyes.
00:02:33
But there's nothing the Netflix in my heart and on my screen.
00:02:40
There's always something that I still haven't seen, but maybe one day we can try to watch the rest.
00:02:51
Yeah, that's right.
00:02:58
Nothing but Netflix is back for something that's actually not Netflix.
00:03:02
Rob Cisternino and we have a big event that happened in television, the kickoff of a big brand new show, which is streaming on Paramount Plus.
00:03:14
I'm not sure if we've done a Paramount Plus exclusive here on Nothing but Netflix, but we will today hear with the guy who is, I mean,
00:03:24
are we, are we not on like a show like Holmes and Watson?
00:03:29
Here he is, ready for his start turn.
00:03:32
It's Chappelle.
00:03:33
Hey, yeah, I guess, I guess you could be sure like Holmes, but like that will mean you wouldn't be here because Watson.
00:03:41
We don't see him.
00:03:42
He's not here.
00:03:43
So it dies in the for in opening them in minutes of allegedly allegedly allegedly we'll see.
00:03:49
We'll see.
00:03:50
But yeah, big event here on CBS and Paramount Plus on Sunday night after the ASC championship game, the debut of the brand new series Watson starring Mars Chestnut.
00:04:03
And so with a lot of hype and a lot of hoopla, we said, nothing, you know, that we could jump in and cover on Netflix.
00:04:11
A really a couple of big things on Netflix coming up.
00:04:14
The night agent returns, but it would be tough for Shepel and I to jump in and start covering the night agent.
00:04:21
Yeah.
00:04:22
Cause we missed the first season.
00:04:24
We missed the first season.
00:04:25
Yeah.
00:04:26
It really bothers me too.
00:04:27
Now in retrospect, obviously, because it's like, that's like people are actually talking about the night agent and like, all the best show on Netflix.
00:04:33
Like, why didn't y'all tell us the best show back then?
00:04:36
I was watching, uh, watching the other one, the other night agent, the recruit, the night.
00:04:41
Which is also going to be back soon.
00:04:42
Yeah, but no one's going up for the recruit.
00:04:43
I think going to the night agent, you know, I don't know.
00:04:45
Maybe I'll binge it or whatever and then the next for season three, I'll catch you up on the night agent.
00:04:50
How about that?
00:04:51
That sounds good.
00:04:52
But honestly, I feel like with the recruit, we watched season one of the recruit.
00:04:56
I think it was two years ago.
00:04:57
I don't even know if it was one year ago.
00:04:59
Oh God.
00:05:00
Yeah.
00:05:01
Oh no.
00:05:02
I think it was the beginning of like 2023 when we watched the recruit.
00:05:05
See, that's, see, it's not our fault.
00:05:07
We had no clue that like this was going to happen.
00:05:09
Yeah.
00:05:10
And I know there was a strike and everything, but listen, don't you can't wait two years to give us 10 more episodes.
00:05:17
Stop it.
00:05:18
Right.
00:05:19
We got to move on, baby.
00:05:20
We got to keep this train on the tracks.
00:05:21
We can't just slow down for the recruit or the night agent.
00:05:23
We got it.
00:05:24
We got to make sure that we're on top of the new stuff and watching his brand new and I'm happy to talk about it.
00:05:28
Yeah.
00:05:29
How about this?
00:05:30
How about a show?
00:05:31
This is a format.
00:05:32
Okay.
00:05:33
You got 10 episodes.
00:05:34
Okay.
00:05:35
Put out one among.
00:05:36
Okay.
00:05:37
What do you think of that?
00:05:38
What do you think of like a book club?
00:05:39
A show if it came out, like, instead of 10 episodes, drop them all at once.
00:05:43
Put out a new episode every month.
00:05:46
And then it's like, okay, I don't know, I got to wait two months and then the next episode is here.
00:05:50
Well, it's funny that you mention that because there have been shows that have like really stretched out their releases and then like, obviously, the British shows are probably the best at this,
00:06:01
right?
00:06:01
Like, they don't have one season of television.
00:06:03
It'll be four episodes long, but every episode will be moving length.
00:06:07
And so it's like, you feel like you're, yeah, you're waiting a minute for the next episode, but you got a movie the first time, you know, you get, it's like, it's multiple episodes in a series.
00:06:16
They release them sparingly, but you never away from so long that you're like, I'm not going to have it.
00:06:21
Now, the one caveat reading Sherlock, but we'll get to that later on.
00:06:25
But yeah, this would be better because it's something about dropping all the episodes.
00:06:30
Have me waiting three, four years for me, drop them all at once and then I'm just like, in one day, I'm done.
00:06:35
I have nothing.
00:06:36
So a squid game dropped and it was just like, damn, now I got to.
00:06:40
It's gone.
00:06:41
And then it's back for as here for a minute.
00:06:43
It's okay.
00:06:44
Now it's gone again.
00:06:45
Yeah.
00:06:46
So I don't know.
00:06:47
There's got to be a better way to do this.
00:06:49
The weekly thing isn't really working for the podcasting, the one time drop thing isn't working.
00:06:54
Like, we got to figure this out.
00:06:55
Screaming is really starting to get on my damn nerves.
00:06:58
Okay.
00:06:59
All right.
00:07:00
So we're here to talk about Watson.
00:07:01
Last week, we talked about back in action with Jamie Foxx and Cameron Diaz.
00:07:05
You could hear that in the nothing but Netflix podcast feed.
00:07:09
But today Watson, Chepell, are you a Sherlock Holmes guy?
00:07:16
So I had an era where I was in on Sherlock Holmes.
00:07:20
So I'm a Batman guy and Batman is the greatest detective who ever lived, right?
00:07:26
But Sherlock Holmes is like Batman without the karate, you know, and sometimes depending on the depending on which version of Sherlock you might actually get some of that.
00:07:34
So yeah, there was a time where I dove deep into the waters of Arthur Doyle's Sherlock, and yeah, I'm very familiar.
00:07:42
And so when you say we're talking about Watson, I was like, okay, cool, because I haven't watched anything Sherlock related since Netflix's Sherlock starting been in the company batch years ago.
00:07:52
Okay.
00:07:53
Yeah.
00:07:54
So when I was a kid, I feel like there was almost nothing Sherlock Holmes.
00:07:57
Was there a young Sherlock Holmes?
00:07:59
Was that a thing?
00:08:00
Like young children.
00:08:01
Yeah, was there like, there was young Indiana Jones.
00:08:05
Yeah.
00:08:06
Just Sherlock Holmes was like a movie though.
00:08:07
Was that over it?
00:08:08
I don't mean maybe Sherlock Holmes.
00:08:10
Yeah.
00:08:11
Did that ever happen?
00:08:12
Yeah.
00:08:13
Okay.
00:08:14
Yes.
00:08:15
1985.
00:08:16
Yeah.
00:08:17
It's okay.
00:08:18
Well, I'm not crazy.
00:08:19
1981 had young Sherlock Holmes.
00:08:20
Okay.
00:08:21
It was a TV show or a movie, right?
00:08:22
A movie directed by Barry Levinson as school boys.
00:08:28
Okay.
00:08:29
Okay.
00:08:30
Young Sherlock Holmes.
00:08:31
All right.
00:08:32
But really, in the last 15 years, we've got Sherlock Holmes, more Sherlock Holmes than we know what to do with, okay?
00:08:41
There's in 2010, there is the BBC Sherlock Holmes, okay, with Comberbatch.
00:08:51
Beth, listen.
00:08:52
Listen, if you haven't watched it, they did the things, man, that's a good series.
00:08:57
I loved it.
00:08:58
Love it so much.
00:08:59
It was on Netflix.
00:09:00
Well, I guess it aired on the BBC first, but when it came to Netflix, I was all-in.
00:09:03
Yeah.
00:09:04
Okay.
00:09:05
So that really started to bring Sherlock Holmes, but actually before that in 2009, there were Robert Downey, Jr.,
00:09:15
and Jude Law, as Watson, there was in 2009, Sherlock Holmes.
00:09:23
And then in 2011, there was Sherlock Holmes colon a game of shadows.
00:09:27
So we were really kicking off the Sherlock Holmes era.
00:09:31
Yeah.
00:09:32
I've seen all of those.
00:09:33
Maybe I am a Sherlock Holmes guy, and I just didn't know it.
00:09:35
I just, to me, it's like, first of all, you might not know this.
00:09:39
And I might be making this up, but I think he's the most depicted human fictional character of all time.
00:09:44
You know, like, I think non-human would be Dracula, but human is Sherlock Holmes.
00:09:49
There's so many depictions of him, so many different iterations of him.
00:09:52
It's crazy.
00:09:53
You can't say that, it's completely true, Sherlock Holmes is a character and a book series that will define the way, like, different, like, book canons and look that,
00:10:04
right?
00:10:05
So like, obviously, you get the Sherlock Holmes books, but then once they end, people started to be like, "Hey, bro, I didn't get enough Sherlock Holmes.
00:10:13
I'm going to start writing my own Sherlock Holmes stories."
00:10:15
And so they do so much to where the author, sir Arthur Doyle, he goes and he says, like, "Bro, I got to come back because everyone's demanding OG Sherlock information."
00:10:28
So at that point, people start saying, "Well, is it canonical?"
00:10:31
Because in his version of Sherlock, that's not canon, or this is not canon based on this.
00:10:38
And so he really is the pioneer of the idea that you can have one character with so many different competing storylines, and he didn't even want to do it.
00:10:46
He legit, right, this man raised the prices of his books, so basically, no one's ever going to pay for me to write these books anymore because I'm over it.
00:10:56
I don't want to do it.
00:10:57
And people were like, nah, we'll throw all the money at you in the world.
00:11:00
He got rich off of a book he didn't even want to continue.
00:11:02
Wow.
00:11:03
Yeah.
00:11:04
Isn't it crazy?
00:11:05
Yeah.
00:11:06
Okay.
00:11:07
Well, it's still a big part of the media landscape.
00:11:11
In 2012, a new show comes along, okay?
00:11:16
We've already got the BBC Sherlock Holmes.
00:11:19
We already see Robert Downing Jr.
00:11:21
and Jude Law in the movies.
00:11:22
But now on CBS, Johnny Lee Miller plays Sherlock Holmes alongside Lucy Liu as Watson in Elementary.
00:11:45
No.
00:11:46
And I've never seen Elementary because you brought you like I was sitting here like, am I a Sherlock guy?
00:11:51
But I remembered distinctly being kind of like you at this point being like, this is a lot.
00:11:54
We just did Sherlock Holmes.
00:11:55
I just did.
00:11:56
I think I was still probably at that point been like watching the Netflix, you know, BBC Sherlock.
00:11:57
And then like obviously the RDJ, two movies, I think I was burnt out by now on Sherlock Holmes.
00:12:04
I'm good on Elementary, but I mean, I kind of want to watch it.
00:12:07
No, no, thank you.
00:12:08
I think I got on there.
00:12:09
I think I got on there becky and man, I got to get becky and man.
00:12:12
Okay.
00:12:13
And then there was a 2021 Netflix series called the regulars about the Baker Street crew.
00:12:22
But here we are now with 20, 25's Watson, starring Morris Chestnut.
00:12:29
And there is some shared DNA to elementary.
00:12:33
It has the same showrunner as elementary, but it is not a spin-off and it is not the same shared universe.
00:12:42
Yeah.
00:12:43
I've never seen Elementary, but yeah, it can't be a spin-off because an elementary Lucy Lou is Watson.
00:12:51
Correct?
00:12:52
Yes.
00:12:53
And so this would be more, more, more chestnut would be Watson in this.
00:12:56
So it's going to be a completely different universe.
00:12:58
This universe from what I can tell is a continuation of the original canon kind of, like, so I'm a spoiled Sherlock Holmes for people who don't feel like reading Victorian,
00:13:10
like literature, I guess.
00:13:12
Sherlock Holmes dies exactly how he dies in this show, right?
00:13:18
We see him and a guy named Mortiari, they're like on the edge of a waterfall and then they fall over the waterfall and then he dies, they both die, basically.
00:13:28
And then, as I said, we had to bring him back.
00:13:31
So he becomes like one of the first characters that, like, canonically died, but was brought back to life.
00:13:36
Like, oh, he didn't really die.
00:13:37
We didn't really see that.
00:13:38
And so this feels like it's taking place right after those events, right?
00:13:41
Right after he goes over and it's like, this is kind of like the continuation of that original, the final problem storyline where he goes over the waterfall.
00:13:49
So what happens in the book that they, they ever explain what happens over the waterfall?
00:13:53
No.
00:13:54
So he goes over the waterfall and I believe it ends at that point, right?
00:13:57
And it's like, oh, he's never to be seen, but then when they bring him back for the next iteration, it's like, oh, you thought he died, but did you see the body?
00:14:03
You know, it's kind of, they kind of pull one of those things or I think that's what they pull.
00:14:08
I'd have to go back and reread it.
00:14:09
But it does stop at the final problem.
00:14:11
And I think the waterfall is Rackenback Falls.
00:14:14
So I think that falls, I think that's what it's called.
00:14:18
Yeah.
00:14:19
And so Rackenback Falls is like the scene of where this actually starts.
00:14:23
So that's what Sherlock is.
00:14:24
Does this move ever go into the waterfall?
00:14:28
Well, that's the thing in the original, we're led to believe he dies within, he's still alive.
00:14:32
And this one, we're led to believe he's dead and he's still dead.
00:14:35
So maybe this wasn't the smartest thing for him to do.
00:14:38
Okay.
00:14:39
So that's what we start off with seeing.
00:14:41
And we see sort of just in the show Watson, played by Mars Chestnut is sort of like following the action that Holmes and Moriarty are by the waterfall.
00:14:53
We see that basically Mars Chestnut gets like some sort of like a head injury.
00:15:00
He goes over the waterfall too.
00:15:01
Yeah.
00:15:02
So they go down into the water and then he dives into the water to save Sherlock Holmes because anything we know about Watson is you follow this man off a cliff or even off a waterfall.
00:15:12
And so he goes after him to save him and he goes over to I don't think Watson goes over the waterfall on the original cannon.
00:15:17
So you know, not that that matters, but I think this is where we start to deviate the plot a little bit more.
00:15:22
Okay.
00:15:23
But now you're thinking like, okay, I'm watching the show called Watson.
00:15:27
Okay.
00:15:28
We're based in the Sherlock Holmes universe.
00:15:31
All right.
00:15:32
It.
00:15:33
This is a detective show.
00:15:34
I'm watching.
00:15:35
I'm going to watch a detective show case of the week.
00:15:38
He's now.
00:15:39
Okay.
00:15:40
Maybe Sherlock Holmes out of the picture, but there's all that Watson solving crimes.
00:15:44
No.
00:15:45
No.
00:15:46
No.
00:15:47
That's not what the show is.
00:15:48
No.
00:15:49
He's solving mysteries, but like medical mysteries.
00:15:52
You know, it's like, um, at the end of this episode, he is a wife who will get to she says something like ever since like it's something about that last time you spent with Sherlock Holmes.
00:16:04
You're starting to really like, I can tell you even in the way you doctor, it's different now.
00:16:08
You're giving very Sherlock Holmes.
00:16:10
And I think that anybody who's read Sherlock or it's familiar with the past, like, like different adaptations will tell you that this is not the Watson that you normally get.
00:16:20
You normally get like the lovable, like he's like the more human lovable character that people latch on to to Sherlock's more cerebral, uh, tearing on strong type, right?
00:16:30
Uh, and so, uh, but now we're getting kind of like this mix where Watson is a doctor, but he's got strong Sherlock energy.
00:16:38
And so he's using all his deductive reasoning, all his logical reasoning.
00:16:42
Um, even some like some of Sherlock Holmes' catchphrases to make sure that he can solve the medical mystery of the week.
00:16:49
It's giving a house.
00:16:50
Yes.
00:16:51
That's almost exactly what's, and I wasn't a house guy.
00:16:54
I do think that, uh, Hugh Laurie and Benedict Cumberbatch, like, I think you could, you could have seen like an alternate universe where Hugh Laurie could have been Sherlock Holmes.
00:17:03
Yeah.
00:17:04
You know, there was alternate universe where Batman and Sherlock met, you know, oh, yeah.
00:17:08
So, yeah.
00:17:09
So we can definitely bring these detective powerhouses together.
00:17:11
Bring them together.
00:17:12
So we, we're going to basically be solving like medical mysteries and, you know, Watson is going to, we're going to find out how his own like health issues that he is trying to work out.
00:17:23
I mean, this seems more like this is a house spinoff than a Sherlock Holmes spinoff.
00:17:29
It's, this is Sherlock Holmes is Sherlock Holmes with a doctor named Watson, you know, it, because it's the same concept.
00:17:35
It's just that we're so used to following Sherlock the detective.
00:17:38
John Watson is always a doctor in Sherlock Holmes.
00:17:40
And so it makes total sense for him to be a doctor in this.
00:17:43
But it's the detect, the deductive reasoning, the logical reasoning that he's using, um, this idea that once you weed out all the, uh, the, the information that doesn't make sense and then whatever's left makes it so like,
00:17:55
it's the whole thing.
00:17:56
It's the Sherlock Holmes fallacy even, uh, but he's now embodied all of that.
00:18:00
And so yeah, I think house might be something that's like, maybe was always a Sherlock Holmes spin off and we didn't know, you know, like now starting to make sense.
00:18:07
Yeah.
00:18:08
Yeah.
00:18:09
Yeah.
00:18:10
I mean, Sherlock Holmes and Watson, they're out here solving mysteries.
00:18:13
But Chappelle, what's a greater mystery than the human condition?
00:18:18
Yeah.
00:18:19
Yeah.
00:18:20
Because there's so many different things that happen to the human body that science has gone, like people, you would have dedicated their lives to science to figure it out.
00:18:28
But then there's stuff that we don't know that we don't know, you know, the things that happen and remember, I was like, I don't know what that is or that, you know, it's like, that's possible, but it's probably improbable.
00:18:38
And so, yeah, there's a ton of things to do.
00:18:40
Grey's Anatomy is built on the medical mystery.
00:18:43
You know, they bring in people who have random, I don't know if they pull them from the news or if they just like die.
00:18:49
They pull off from the news.
00:18:50
I think.
00:18:51
Yeah.
00:18:52
But they, they find these like tiny news AF, like, like type of, uh, conditions.
00:18:57
And then they make a whole episode of the show up behind it is like, yeah, sure, this could happen.
00:19:03
Someone could die from the hiccups.
00:19:04
But how often does that happen?
00:19:05
It's like in Grey's Anatomy, there's a whole storyline that will shape the way somebody has looked at as a character for a long time.
00:19:11
And so, this is not unheard of.
00:19:13
I just wasn't, I was actually kind of surprised that this is the direction we went.
00:19:17
Yeah.
00:19:18
And I know you watch more of these medical procedures, you know, I just feel like that is this that novel of an idea?
00:19:26
Like I guess we sort of have like sort of like the big picture, maybe like serialized Sherlock Holmes-esque mystery of what happened to Sherlock Holmes,
00:19:38
where's Moriarty?
00:19:39
But then I feel like that this show is a show that is going to be just a case of the week medical procedural.
00:19:49
Yeah.
00:19:50
But Sherlock Holmes always works.
00:19:51
As you can see, it's been done so many times and no one's like, you know, like, oh, you know, that last Sherlock was it.
00:19:56
They just bring in another Sherlock Holmes.
00:19:57
And so I think they just put another spin on it.
00:20:00
Elementary, as you said, uh, what was it?
00:20:02
2009 maybe when that 2012, 2012, uh, to me, it felt like it was on forever, you know, and it's so I think that, yeah, this is another one of those, like you said, case of the weeks.
00:20:12
But also because it's Sherlock Holmes, adjacent, there can be a through line to a bigger mystery that we'll follow later on.
00:20:18
Um, I think Alex Cross, that, uh, that book series is doing the same thing with, uh, Cross on Netflix as well, where it's like, yeah, it's following the story of Alex Cross, the detective,
00:20:29
but there's bigger, you know, there's, it's bigger than the little case of the week that he's following.
00:20:33
There's like, there's overarching storyline that he has to get to the bottom of before we can end the series.
00:20:37
Hold on, Chappelle.
00:20:38
I don't want to get too much, uh, you know, comments, fact checking.
00:20:43
If forgot to mention the Netflix films, Enola Holmes, Enola Holmes Sherlock Holmes is sister Enola, where Henry Cavall played Sherlock Holmes,
00:20:56
we, when we did, uh, to do a couple, a couple of years ago, they were like, in the thing you didn't watch Enola Holmes, what you really, I was like, should I be watching Enola Holmes?
00:21:05
I, I put a mental note in my head to watching Enola Holmes and I didn't.
00:21:09
And so now you're right.
00:21:11
That's, that's the one.
00:21:12
I think that's Netflix's, uh, Sherlock Holmes baby.
00:21:15
And so they're really going to turn over the reins here to, uh, to watch it.
00:21:18
Maybe there could be some, um, uh, Bobby Brown.
00:21:20
Yeah, maybe there could be some, uh, some joint universe here with the two of them.
00:21:25
You know, I don't know if Enola Holmes has a Watson, but, um, she can get a new one.

So we've talked about elementary where we had the gender swapped Watson.
00:23:06
We had a lot of homes.
00:23:08
We had now, okay, we're following a woman Sherlock Holmes, but Chappelle, is this a huge development in the Sherlock Holmes universe that we have our first black Sherlock Holmes swap in Watson?
00:23:26
Is Watson woke?
00:23:27
Is Sherlock woke now?
00:23:29
Is that what's going on?
00:23:31
Dear God, please don't let the voters find out.
00:23:34
I don't know.
00:23:35
I'm pretty sure the president said, "You got to shut this conversation down, please."
00:23:38
They made this a while ago.
00:23:41
Yeah.
00:23:42
Look, I don't know.
00:23:43
But I've never been familiar with a black Watson in Sherlock Holmes lore, and I'm sure there.
00:23:51
I mean, I said, "This man, it's been done so many times."
00:23:53
Was this Sherlock Holmes black?
00:23:55
Oh, we don't know.
00:23:57
We don't know.
00:23:58
We couldn't really get a good look.
00:24:00
Morty are you, Black?
00:24:01
You know?
00:24:02
Yeah.
00:24:03
Yeah.
00:24:04
Who knows?
00:24:05
Who really knows?
00:24:06
I think it's very fun.
00:24:07
I think this doesn't take away from the lore.
00:24:11
It doesn't take away from the story.
00:24:13
It's just a different actor.
00:24:14
It's okay.
00:24:15
Sherlock Holmes is not a real person, y'all.
00:24:16
Like, it'll be okay.
00:24:17
Yeah.
00:24:18
And neither is Dr.
00:24:18
John Watson.
00:24:19
He's not a real person.
00:24:20
He's not.
00:24:21
He's not.
00:24:22
It's okay.
00:24:23
He could be black.
00:24:24
Now, there is a theory.
00:24:26
Yeah.
00:24:27
There was a time in literature where, like, this is when the canon argument really starts.
00:24:32
Because certain people started to think, "Is Sherlock Holmes real?
00:24:36
Are these stories that, uh, Arthur Dooler is taking, are they taking out of the news, like a Grey's Anatomy, like, uh, like a, like a law in order SVU?"
00:24:45
Is he really, right?
00:24:46
Is he writing these stories about actual mysteries that happened?
00:24:49
It's Sherlock Holmes, a real person.
00:24:51
And the jury was out on that for a while, like, where people were like, I don't know, like, it's, it's baby.
00:24:56
And so there are a bunch of people who really wanted to stick to the original canon because they're like, no, there's some real things that happen.
00:25:01
I just can't prove it, but I just feel like it is.
00:25:03
And like, there's like, connective thread to other stories that we can tie this into.
00:25:07
But then there were people were like, this is made up, leave it along, go away.
00:25:10
So I think for, if you're at home shaking your fist, like, no, he's real, like, I, you, you have now seen, you have now been acknowledged, don't get in the comments.
00:25:18
Okay.
00:25:19
Shippell, Watson takes place in Pittsburgh.
00:25:23
That's the backdrop for Watson.
00:25:25
Yeah, which is crazy because, uh, like, Sherlock Holmes in general is like taking place in London, uh, like this sprawling city with like these dark shadowy corners and like,
00:25:35
you know, I don't know, I don't know, yeah, Pittsburgh fine, five, as long as they don't undo what Bane did, I'm fine.
00:25:44
All right.
00:25:45
So elementary was set in New York.
00:25:48
Um, it's just interesting.
00:25:50
Uh, I guess does Sherlock Holmes, like, would it work on the West Coast?
00:25:55
Like a wood would, Sherlock, Sherlock L.A.
00:26:00
would be interested.
00:26:01
I could, I could see it.
00:26:02
You mean it to be in the Northeast for the Watson Holmes dynamic to work?
00:26:08
Well, yeah.
00:26:09
I will see the thing is like with Sherlock Holmes and even Batman, you got London.
00:26:13
You got Gotham.
00:26:14
It's just like, again, these big cities with like these robots, bus life would, but like very much like dark underbellies that you can probably point to, mm hmm, Pittsburgh be giving dark underbelly all over the time, you know, like all the time,
00:26:25
like, no, not even some time, but like always.
00:26:27
And so I was like, okay, maybe LA could give you that same energy.
00:26:32
But here he's, it's still in the candidate Watson was once in London.
00:26:36
He's just come back home to Pittsburgh.
00:26:38
So he's like, he's left Sherlock's universe there and come here, even though he's still kind of got one foot in London.
00:26:45
I think that's what we're doing.
00:26:46
We're playing the fence here.
00:26:47
Okay.
00:26:48
Yeah.
00:26:49
So the cannon here is that Watson, like, went off to go like start like this bromance with Sherlock Holmes.
00:26:55
He had like something missing.
00:26:56
I don't know how he met Sherlock Holmes.
00:26:58
See, I thought they were saying that he went to London.
00:27:01
He met Sherlock Holmes.
00:27:02
They were locked in and then he came back home and Sherlock was like, no, I need you for one more.
00:27:07
We got one more project and he's like, I got to go and he's like, no, no, don't go.
00:27:13
Like stay here in Pittsburgh, me and the Steelers.
00:27:15
He's like, no, lady, the Steelers suck.
00:27:17
I'm leaving.
00:27:18
And so he goes to London and then that's where they find themselves and wrecking back falls and fall they do.
00:27:24
And so after, you know, suffering a traumatic brain injury, he survives Sherlock does it.
00:27:32
But now he's back at home in Pittsburgh and his wife's like, uh, you can stay wherever you go.
00:27:37
Yeah, but it didn't seem like when he has a conversation with his wife about this whole experience that ex wife, um, separated wife separated.
00:27:45
Yeah.
00:27:46
Yeah.
00:27:47
Yeah.
00:27:48
So, uh, did you hear about the astronaut who got divorced from his wife?
00:27:55
No.
00:27:56
What happened?
00:27:57
It's not like a space, I love a laughy, tapy joke, yeah, but you know, in all seriousness,
00:28:07
okay.
00:28:08
But it's not like his wife was like, yeah, I wanted you to go like, uh, like there was something like when you were hanging out with Sherlock, I felt like there was something you needed for him.
00:28:16
I thought it was a good thing, but then you were gone for a while and then I kind of met somebody.
00:28:21
Yeah.
00:28:22
She's like, uh, and she doesn't do me like you to hear me.
00:28:24
So, okay.
00:28:25
Like we don't have to worry about that.
00:28:26
No, I think that, um, she probably saw that when Watson and Sherlock are together, you know, it's like a JT and Steve and ask, you know, you know, just like this, you just can't, you can't,
00:28:36
um, you can't figure out what it is that makes it work, but it just works.
00:28:40
It's just like these two people are powerful, um, similar to like a Batman and Robin.
00:28:44
You see, I keep going back to my favorite detectives, but, uh, she was able to say like, no, go, go.
00:28:49
You want to go?
00:28:50
You clearly want to be over there.
00:28:51
You everything, every day you wake up talking to me, I want to be Sherlock's doing Sherlock call.
00:28:57
Did Sherlock say anything about me?
00:28:58
It's like, go, go see what he wants.
00:28:59
Now, she didn't know you were going to go over there and halfway die.
00:29:00
She, you know, that was going to happen.
00:29:02
So, I think she finally said, let me just release myself from whatever this is that we're enjoying because you're always going to want to get back to that old feeling that you had.
00:29:12
And I can't be waiting what by the phone for you to get that awful call one day when you don't make it.
00:29:16
I want to talk about the case that Watson is working on here in the pilot of Watson.
00:29:24
That there's a woman, we see her, she's getting like a sonogram.
00:29:28
She's like five months pregnant and we're seeing like she from her POV, like faces are like melting and hallucinating.
00:29:36
And then she like just runs off.
00:29:39
I'm like, what is going, what is going on is this magic?
00:29:42
Is she under a spell?
00:29:44
She runs, she actually gets hit by, pregnant woman gets hit by a car, uh, fine.
00:29:49
They're fine.
00:29:50
And her problems, uh, getting hit by a car, but she has a condition where she can't sleep.
00:29:58
She'll tell you, is this a syndrome that you can relate to?
00:30:03
Uh, no, no, no, see, I can sleep.
00:30:06
I'm good at really taking naps, like I'm, I'm good for like a seven to 12 minute nap.
00:30:12
If I'm tired, if I, if I start to like lose it, like, hey, I could really fall asleep in this conversation.
00:30:17
But if you give me eight minutes, I'll be back in action.
00:30:20
I call them napetizers, you know, I just, I'm really, I'm really good at just like, boom.
00:30:24
And then I'm bounced back because that one nap will get me through like the next 10 hours.
00:30:29
And so yeah, now I don't have difficulty falling asleep, um, because when I want to sleep, I'm going to go to sleep.
00:30:34
The problem is once I'm up, I'll be up.
00:30:35
Now this, this is different.
00:30:37
This idea been awake for several days.
00:30:40
I think it's point.
00:30:41
Yeah.
00:30:42
And, uh, I've never heard about this syndrome.
00:30:44
I've never heard it.
00:30:45
Very, very much house.
00:30:46
Um, but fatal, familial insomnia, yeah, FFI.
00:30:50
They talk about it.
00:30:51
I'm like, they make this up.
00:30:52
Is this real?
00:30:53
I looked it up cause it's progressive sleep disturbances and other symptoms that affect the nervous system in the brain.
00:30:59
That's, it's a real thing.
00:31:00
Yeah.
00:31:01
And basically they say in this episode, FFI, uh, the fatal familial insomnia, it's like, you get it from a relative and then it's like, once you get it, that's it.
00:31:12
It's over.
00:31:13
So you, you just never can go to sleep ever again and eventually your body is going to just deteriorate and you're done.
00:31:20
Yeah.
00:31:21
The symptoms will start and then it will get worse and then it will get worse and then it will get worse until you die.
00:31:25
Right.
00:31:26
And I don't know how common this is.
00:31:27
I didn't get into all of that because when I watch these medical dramas and stuff, I don't really get into all of that because I, that's not for me.
00:31:34
Right?
00:31:35
If they wanted me to learn about, uh, medicine, this would not be how they were, uh, showing it to me.
00:31:40
This is just a, a plot device that they can use to say, this lady's not falling asleep and we need to know why because they ruled out fatal familial insomnia very quickly in this, uh,
00:31:50
in this thing.
00:31:51
And this is very much industry like homes kind of model of just, we have a, we have a mystery.
00:31:58
And then I'm going to go through each, each of the possibilities, right?
00:32:02
To figure out what, what we can rule out and then whatever is left, uh, we'll even see him say it when, uh, when you have eliminated them possible, whatever remains, however improbable must be the truth.
00:32:11
So they start taking out all the stuff that's like, nope, that can't work, that can't work, that can't work.
00:32:15
And then even if it sounds crazy, this must be the answer once we have everything left behind.
00:32:20
Oh, you really know your Sherlock home stuff.
00:32:23
It was a time.
00:32:25
I had a time.
00:32:26
Okay.
00:32:27
It was a time that I also will say that like Sherlock Holmes would probably hate that that's like a thing now because obviously, like that's a cracked fallacy, right?
00:32:37
It's like, I ruled out all the impossible stuff.
00:32:40
So whatever this last thing is, it kind of makes sense.
00:32:42
It's like, no, that's not necessarily true.
00:32:44
Like there are things that you don't know that you don't know.
00:32:47
And Sherlock Holmes does not operate like that.
00:32:48
He goes and finds the most minuscule, you know, like he's looking at dust, he's looking at fingerprints, he's looking at all the tiny things to really decide, okay, now I have everything that I need to know.
00:32:59
I can make these decisions.
00:33:01
We're in real life.
00:33:02
There's no way you can do that.
00:33:03
Yeah.
00:33:04
But well, Sherlock Holmes, I'm sorry, Watson has a assembled a team which is kind of an interesting group.
00:33:13
I don't even think that they really understand why they're a team.
00:33:17
But, you know, we have like this like core cast of people that Watson has put together.
00:33:23
Did you follow like what the Watson's team is?
00:33:29
So Sherlock Holmes, when he dies, he leaves a bunch of money to watch him because famously he lives at 21B Baker Street or whatever.
00:33:39
And he lives there in like, it's like a two bedroom, like, like, you know, apartment.
00:33:45
It's not, it's not, it's nothing crazy, right?
00:33:48
But so he, in this, he dies and he has a bunch of money, 221B Baker Street, I'm sorry, but he has a bunch of money.
00:33:58
And so he leaves the fortune to Watson, but he funds a medical clinic instead.
00:34:04
He's like, hey, I'm going to fund this medical clinic and you're going to take over it.
00:34:08
And I'm going to give you a neurologist to help and I'm going to give you a sidekick as well.
00:34:13
And then you're going to be able to pick the team of doctors that you want, you know, as a part of this Holmes Clinic of Diagnostic Medicine.
00:34:21
And so I guess Watson is a geneticist and he's going to use his geneticist superpowers to bring together this team of like the Avengers of Doctors to where they can do these medical mysteries and diagnose the Avengers of Doctors was the 2009 Sherlock Holmes.
00:34:37
Oh, yeah.
00:34:38
Oh, yeah.
00:34:39
Yeah.
00:34:40
You're right.
00:34:41
You're right.
00:34:42
Yeah.
00:34:43
I didn't see that timeline coming.
00:34:44
I guess I should have saw that.
00:34:45
But yeah.
00:34:46
The Doctor Strange not included.
00:34:47
Yeah.
00:34:48
They brought together all the Sherlock Holmes.
00:34:49
Yeah.
00:34:50
Because, because what are they doing?
00:34:51
Why was Doctor Strange Sherlock Holmes and Robert Downey Jr.? Why is that?
00:34:54
Iron Man was Sherlock Holmes?
00:34:58
Really?
00:34:59
Okay.
00:35:00
But here, here, we have Dr.
00:35:01
Darian.
00:35:01
I think her name was who was his neurologist that he's actually, she's actually kind of his doctor too, but she's on the team.
00:35:06
And you have Dr.
00:35:07
Lubbock, who was an Asian woman who grew up in Texas, who he's clearly fascinated by because she has a deep sudden accent.
00:35:12
And then you have Dr.
00:35:13
Kroff and Dr.
00:35:14
Kroff, who are both their twins.
00:35:16
And they are twins who dated the same woman.
00:35:18
So it seems like I'd like to know more about that.
00:35:21
I would love to know more about that.
00:35:23
Because they have a good, like this, you can see there's a disdain between the two of them.
00:35:27
Obviously, if you dated the same woman or in a relationship with the same woman, that would cause that.
00:35:32
But yeah, these twins are there too.
00:35:34
And I think the show presents us with Watson is interested in all these people based on their genetics or whatever their upbringing was because he's a guy who likes to solve a good mystery.
00:35:44
Okay.
00:35:45
We haven't talked too much about Morris Chess not here.
00:35:48
So first off, she's about age game.
00:35:52
How old is Morris Chess not?
00:35:54
54.
00:35:55
Very close.
00:35:56
56.
00:35:57
Oh, okay.
00:35:58
She's had a birthday.
00:35:59
Yeah.
00:36:00
Rob, what do you know Morris Chess not from?
00:36:02
You know, I know the name Morris Chess not, but I really don't really, I had to go on IMDB.
00:36:07
I could not think of one work that I know Morris Chess not from.
00:36:12
And I could probably name 10 off the top of my head.
00:36:14
Okay.
00:36:15
What do you know him most from?
00:36:16
That was why I asked the question because I think Morris Chess not as black famous, but he's not famous famous.
00:36:22
He's just black famous.
00:36:23
So he was in the best man, best man one, two and three.
00:36:26
So best man, one and two, so best man, best man holiday and the best man chronicles, I think is what it's called, which was a show on Netflix.
00:36:33
I mean, on peacock, he was also in the wood.
00:36:37
I want to say as well.
00:36:40
He was a football.
00:36:41
Now, he's a football player in the best man.
00:36:43
Let me see what else he's in.
00:36:45
He was with, yeah, so he was with Gabrielle Union in the wood.
00:36:50
I'm not not the wood.
00:36:52
The brothers, I think is what it's called, right?
00:36:55
What else was Morris Chess not in?
00:36:56
I don't know.
00:36:57
Now that you put me on spot, I don't think I can know.
00:36:58
IMDB cites his most famous works as known as for kick ass too.
00:37:06
What?
00:37:07
Yeah.
00:37:08
No.
00:37:09
No.
00:37:10
That's some of his old stuff.
00:37:11
Yeah.
00:37:12
No.
00:37:13
Yeah.
00:37:14
No.
00:37:15
He's black famous.
00:37:16
You got to get into the, you got to get into the old stuff, so he was in like Mike.
00:37:18
He was in Rosewood, I believe, he, like the remake, not the original Rosewood, because that would be crazy.
00:37:25
He was in two completely that game.
00:37:27
He was in a girl's show, who he was in what?
00:37:32
Girls trip.
00:37:33
Oh, I saw a girl's trip.
00:37:34
I don't remember him being in it, but I'm sure that's the thing.
00:37:36
But this man has been on my TV screen and on my VHS's since I was a child, you know, like, he really was one of the people in the early, like in the late 90s, early 2000s, they're kind of shaped black television and media.
00:37:48
Yeah.
00:37:49
Okay.
00:37:50
So, yeah, he gets a big star turn here that he was on 22 episodes of V.
00:37:57
Which one was V?
00:37:58
I don't remember.
00:37:59
V was one of these like mystery box shows that like used to be on like, they tried like about like 12 different shows on ABC that was on after lost,
00:38:10
usually having one of the actresses from lost.
00:38:14
I think that Juliette from lost was one of the crossover people on V.
00:38:20
I do like Juliette from lost.
00:38:22
Yeah.
00:38:23
Maybe I'll check it out.
00:38:24
He was, oh, famously.
00:38:25
So, this is the most famous role, more, more, more shit.
00:38:28
I don't know.
00:38:29
I was thinking of recent, more recent stuff.
00:38:31
He's Ricky from Boys in a Hood.
00:38:33
Yeah.
00:38:34
Like, this is like the pinnacle of like that era of black, like actor, start him, right?
00:38:39
1991, Boys in a Hood.
00:38:41
He's one of the main characters.
00:38:43
If not one of the more memorable characters, one of the more memorable scenes in black media, that if you, if you black at home, probably yelling at me, like, how did you forget Ricky?
00:38:50
Like, yeah, I'm John Loftop my head.
00:38:52
Yeah.
00:38:53
He felt a break.
00:38:54
I'm sure everything is Sherlock Holmes.
00:38:56
It's hard shifting between the two.
00:38:58
I'm sorry.
00:38:59
Okay.
00:39:00
Yeah, I don't really ever acknowledge him as a television star because for me, he's like a movie a-lister in a way.
00:39:06
So yeah, I just, I was very excited to see him.
00:39:08
But he's done a lot of television.
00:39:10
He has.
00:39:11
I just don't watch it.
00:39:12
I like his movies.
00:39:13
He did 10 episodes of "Reasonable Doubt."
00:39:15
He did, like, it seemed like he did 30 episodes of "The Resident."
00:39:20
I wanted to watch "Reasonable Doubt" for...
00:39:22
You mentioned Rosewood, Nurse Jackie.
00:39:25
I wanted to watch "Reasonable Doubt" for "Recap Kick Back."
00:39:27
I feel like it's kind of like the, not the night agent where I feel like I'm too far behind, you know?
00:39:33
It's like, I gotta get caught up.
00:39:34
Does it, is it a weekly recap?
00:39:37
Do I just do like a season catch up?
00:39:38
You know, because there's so much to talk about in "Reasonable Doubt."
00:39:41
I've been hearing good things about it, so maybe I'll check it out.
00:39:43
Yeah.
00:39:44
Any other big names here that you recognize in Watson?
00:39:48
I actually didn't even take note of the cast too much.
00:39:50
I mean, let me see.
00:39:52
Let me see what the list of the people is on the cast because- We will have, we'll talk about Mori already at the end, who is another- Yeah, we will talk about him eventually,
00:40:03
of course.
00:40:04
We're gonna give him his time because they make a good job of making sure that he's not in the IMDB previously to this airing.
00:40:11
You get a review of it, you know?
00:40:12
Yeah.
00:40:13
Yeah.
00:40:14
There's one man who plays Mary Watson, Rochelle Aits.
00:40:20
I'm gonna say, I don't know her pronounce her last name.
00:40:23
I know her from everything.
00:40:24
First of all, she's Denise from White Chicks, number one.
00:40:27
That's the first thing that popped out immediately, but she's a little black famous too.
00:40:32
She's got her things, she was in the Medea movie, she was in the TLC story, so she popped out of somebody that I recognized.
00:40:39
And then, of course, television shows, she's one of those, "Oh, that's that woman.
00:40:44
She's in all the stuff."
00:40:45
She keeps a job, so I'm very happy to see her there as well.
00:40:49
But the rest of the cast, no, I actually don't- I'm not really familiar with a lot of them, so that's why I was like, hmm, I wonder what this is gonna be like because I don't know these people.
00:40:57
Okay.
00:40:58
This thing takes a lot of twists and turns of, okay, she's got the, you know, FFI and, you know, where we got to figure out how to- what to do, we got to find- track down her relatives.
00:41:11
They go down the rabbit hole, they track down the relatives.
00:41:14
They sort of wonder, like, wait, did she even have FFI?
00:41:18
Right.
00:41:19
Yeah.
00:41:20
And then, well, I mean, there's always the possibility- even from jump, he says, like, she could- there's a world where she doesn't have FFI, right?
00:41:27
We're trying to rule out the impossible.
00:41:29
And so, he's like, so what if she doesn't have FFI, like, how do we even approach that?
00:41:33
And they're like, well, the only way to find that out is to make her go to sleep, you know, like, it's because, you know, unless we can track it through her relatives, and they seemingly could not.
00:41:41
They were like, we can't really, like, determine if their- if her dad or grandpa had it, because I think what the story is is that her dad, like, took his own life prior to dying from FFI.
00:41:53
Yeah.
00:41:54
Like, the stress of the FFI took him out, and so he actually never actually died from the syndrome.
00:41:59
So it's like, we don't know if that's what it was.
00:42:00
So they're like, well, let's just convince her to go to sleep.
00:42:03
And so Watson does the thing.
00:42:05
He lies to her.
00:42:06
He's just like, you don't have it.
00:42:08
We tend to test.
00:42:09
I have the best geneticists on the planet working with me.
00:42:13
You don't even have it.
00:42:14
Go to sleep.
00:42:15
And she does.
00:42:16
And then she wakes up blind.
00:42:17
And so now we have another one.
00:42:19
Scout really wild.
00:42:20
This lady is like, she cannot catch a break.
00:42:22
Mm-hmm.
00:42:23
Yeah.
00:42:24
And so, yes, she's so relieved she doesn't have FFI, but she does wake up.
00:42:27
She's like, she's so cracking jokes about like, he's like, hey, I need you to smile.
00:42:31
She's like, Mr.
00:42:33
Watson, where are you married once?
00:42:36
Didn't you, didn't you, don't you know not to tell a woman to smile?
00:42:40
Yeah.
00:42:41
The show was like, remember, y'all, he was, he was left by the wife.
00:42:44
If I wake up blind, no jokes, not the first, not in the first hour of me waking up blind.
00:42:52
I would probably make some jokes.
00:42:54
I'm the type of person to joke through my pain a little bit.
00:42:57
So I could see that for me, but I definitely don't want anybody else making any jokes.
00:43:00
You know, like, and don't tell me to smile.
00:43:02
No, I kind of, I think I'm on her side.
00:43:03
Now, yeah, I just woke up blind, sir.
00:43:05
And the first thing to say, okay, you're not going to hear this, but I need you to smile.
00:43:08
It's like, I need you to go to hell.
00:43:09
Okay.
00:43:10
Right.
00:43:11
I know you didn't just tell me to smile.
00:43:12
Right.
00:43:13
No.
00:43:14
And then they feel like, okay, oh, no, she has some kind of like autoimmune deficiency.
00:43:19
She's like the boy in the plastic bubble.
00:43:21
We need to do a bone marrow transplant.
00:43:24
We need to find a match in her family.
00:43:27
And so we got to go track down the rest of her family members.
00:43:30
And so they end up like tracking down her cousin who then Watson is able to tell like, oh, she has like track marks.
00:43:39
And she has tattoos over her track marks.
00:43:41
So uses that to get her to come in and start to explain what's going on with her.
00:43:48
Yeah.
00:43:49
So they, they, they know she has a cousin, but they need a sibling, right?
00:43:53
And they're like, all right.
00:43:54
She has a sibling.
00:43:55
We need to find them.
00:43:56
So how do we do that?
00:43:57
Watson goes to, um, to her cousin, Autumn is like, Hey, I see you've got track marks on your hands on your arms.
00:44:04
Looks like you've been doing the hair on, you know, the heroin.
00:44:07
And so, uh, you know, anything that happened to Erica's brother, you know, because I'm sure he used to do the heroin with you.
00:44:15
I heard he had a past.
00:44:16
So can you tell us where he is?
00:44:18
And so she gives them the alias that he's been using, um, that like so that they can track him down.
00:44:24
And this man, Dr.
00:44:25
John Watson, just text Scotland yard, like it's normal.
00:44:30
Like, okay, I'll get my people in on Scotland yard, uh, Gregson, I was like, you can't just do that.
00:44:35
No, don't give me wrong.
00:44:36
Oh, could you text somebody at Scotland yard, and that's why I was, that's why I was taking it back.
00:44:45
Cause I said, Hey, man, you can't just text Scotland yard from Pittsburgh and be like, All right, I got this missing person.
00:44:50
I need to find it.
00:44:51
America.
00:44:52
Can you help me?
00:44:53
But he can.
00:44:54
This man is like, because he stepped and really stepped into his Sherlock Holmes bag in this one.
00:45:00
Cause there's no reason why he should be able to do like any other doctor is not doing this.
00:45:04
Cause the saying is like, I mean, I thought we were doctors since when did we become detectives?
00:45:09
Um, but Watson, he texts Gregson and Gregson is a recurring character in the Sherlock Holmes lore as well.
00:45:16
He's a Scotland yard inspector.
00:45:18
He's like always like seeking like, okay, like, let's get Sherlock on the case.
00:45:23
You know, like, uh, like in a way, like Commissioner Gordon would do for Batman, you know, it's something like that.
00:45:28
He's not Commissioner Gordon level, but it's kind of like in that same like, Hey, you know, we're hitting a wall here.
00:45:34
We need some help.
00:45:35
And so I liked that they're still pulling from, you know, the characters in the actual Canon and actual lore.
00:45:40
Okay.
00:45:41
How about Sheenwell Johnson?
00:45:43
Is this a real Sherlock Holmes person?
00:45:45
Oh, yeah.
00:45:46
And I was like, very shocked that this is who they decide to go with.
00:45:49
They call him porky and Sherlock Holmes.
00:45:51
And he's not okay anymore.
00:45:54
I don't know why they call him porky.
00:45:57
Maybe they call him porky because he's big on the pig.
00:45:59
You know, who knows?
00:46:00
Um, but he's, he used to be a criminal, right?
00:46:02
And then he became an informant and he started giving Sherlock that information from the inside of like the criminal underbelly here.
00:46:10
He does talk about how he reformed his life for Sherlock Holmes, but they don't really talk about it like that.
00:46:15
He's more like Watson's assistant if Watson has a Watson or Watson has a, an Alfred.
00:46:21
Okay.
00:46:22
This guy then porky is him.
00:46:23
Now I don't trust porky though, because if this is the porky that we used to know, he got a little criminal edge to him and I need more information about that.
00:46:29
Yeah.
00:46:30
He's coming across as like Watson's fixer.
00:46:33
Yeah.
00:46:34
Yeah.
00:46:35
He's just like, Hey, I got a phone call to make.
00:46:36
Let me call.
00:46:37
Let me get Shenwill on the, on the fall and see what he can make happen.
00:46:40
And yeah, he is a criminal informant that turns good basically, um, but by the end of this episode, I'm not sure that he's good in Watson.
00:46:48
Yeah.
00:46:49
All right.
00:46:50
So they bring the cousin in and now she, she's got stuff going on around her mouth also.
00:46:55
Like these, I don't know what, like these people need some blist stacks or something.
00:46:59
They've got some sort of like issues around the mouth and they both have it and they're trying to figure out what's going on.
00:47:06
They go through the garbage and they find out that she has like dead birds that she handled.
00:47:13
Yeah.
00:47:14
So I guess if your cat kills birds and you handle the cat that killed the bird, then you get, you could get songbird fever.
00:47:23
It's a, who knows again, they're just pulling this stuff out of the air, um, or out of the whatever, the back, the back pages of, you know, whatever, like, hey, I've got songbird fever.
00:47:34
I mean, that sounds good.
00:47:35
It's like, I got songbird fever, like I'm walking on air.
00:47:38
Baby.
00:47:39
Yeah.
00:47:40
I got, I'm doing a little ditty over here.
00:47:41
I don't say that.
00:47:42
Yeah.
00:47:43
Well, as Dr.
00:47:44
Will about that, um, I think that for me, songbird fever definitely sounds like, you know, like, you got, you got a earworm, you know, like it sounds nasty a little bit,
00:47:55
but also, you know, it's not, it can be a bad thing.
00:47:57
You know, I love to see him about the moon and the junior, like, it feels like something like that.
00:48:01
But no, this is awful.
00:48:02
This is awful, uh, because you got this nasty stuff now.
00:48:06
Your mouth is being weird and it feels like you get it really sick and I don't know.
00:48:10
So now they think they both have songbird fever because they found these birds in each of their trash.
00:48:14
Yeah.
00:48:15
But then they realize, okay, one of them is responding to it to antibiotics and the songbird fever.
00:48:21
Okay.
00:48:22
Great.
00:48:23
The other one isn't.
00:48:24
And there's something else at play here.
00:48:27
Yeah.
00:48:28
And it's a race against the clock because now that you've been treating them for the wrong thing, well, treating one of them for the wrong thing, uh, she could go into septic shock and all this other stuff.
00:48:36
So now we got to figure out how to stop that.
00:48:38
And so watching us run out of options, you know, he's, he's kind of like, I've ruled out all the stuff.
00:48:43
There's something's not making sense here.
00:48:45
There has to be something impossible going on that I haven't ruled out yet.
00:48:49
And so he sits there and he just stares it up and takes it out.
00:48:52
Staring at them.
00:48:53
And he says, hmm, I notice you both have webtoes between those and like, I'm like, my guy,
00:49:04
like really staring at these women's feet to pick that up.
00:49:08
Hey, he stared at them for a long time.
00:49:12
They were, they were even getting uncomfortable.
00:49:13
Like, sir, are you okay?
00:49:14
You know, like, I'm lying.
00:49:15
And I don't.
00:49:16
Okay.
00:49:17
Watson.
00:49:18
Right, like, sir, my dear Watson, um, he, he stares at them long enough to where he can start to rule out other like,
00:49:29
he can start to go through his, his mental roller decks of all the medical issues that they could be having or all this similarities, all that kind of stuff.
00:49:35
And he does notice the web fee.
00:49:36
And apparently, like, it's impossible for autumn to have web feet because she's claiming that her dad did not have web feet.
00:49:44
And so.
00:49:45
Orbiddle eye sockets.
00:49:48
Yeah.
00:49:49
That too.
00:49:50
These are their eyes are very far apart.
00:49:51
I don't know.
00:49:52
I don't know what we're going on there.
00:49:53
Let's just talk about that.
00:49:54
You can't say that.
00:49:55
But you can talk about people's web feet for sure.
00:49:56
And so he's saying, like, hey, there's no way you inherited web feet if your parent didn't have web feet.
00:50:01
And we know your mom didn't have web feet.
00:50:02
So your dad had to have it.
00:50:03
And she's like, my dad did not have web feet.
00:50:05
I don't know who I got it from, but I didn't get it from my dad.
00:50:08
And they're like, well, that's close.
00:50:09
It wasn't your dad.
00:50:10
I think he says, which is a Sherlock thing, not a Watson thing normally, but co-op.
00:50:16
Yeah.
00:50:17
Yeah.
00:50:18
And we get into like who was hooking up with who to make this happen.
00:50:22
We don't talk about it.
00:50:23
We don't talk about it.
00:50:24
We don't talk about it.
00:50:25
There's a lot of questions.
00:50:26
Right.
00:50:27
I mean, but I mean, you thought she was your cousin, but she's really your sister.
00:50:30
They've hold on.
00:50:31
Your half sister.
00:50:32
So who did?
00:50:33
Who got with who?
00:50:34
Right.
00:50:35
We don't we don't get into the mess.
00:50:36
I think he's above that.
00:50:37
Right.
00:50:38
We find out that siblings.
00:50:39
That is what we're looking for, because if they're half sisters, and that means that they both, they both have with feet, but that also can explain why they're reacting like this, you know what I'm saying?
00:50:49
So we had Songbird for Autumn.
00:50:52
I'm sorry.
00:50:53
Songbird for Erica, the original who we thought had the the skid.
00:50:57
And now we have Autumn, who can get treated for the actual skid.
00:51:02
All right.
00:51:03
Two other things I want to talk about.
00:51:04
Okay.
00:51:05
Watson and his why he goes to visit his separated wife, he has a boxes of stuff he needs to take out.
00:51:14
He's like, listen, to car garage, one of these, this, there used to be a bunch of stuff over here.
00:51:19
There's no hook.
00:51:20
There's no jacket on the hook.
00:51:23
Somebody's been here.
00:51:24
We find out that Mrs.
00:51:27
the former Mrs.
00:51:29
Watson is seeing somebody else who's a shame or she got a roommate.
00:51:35
You know, like that really get into the interview with the roommate at the hide.
00:51:39
I don't think Jay won anybody knowing that he's, she's really moved on.
00:51:41
Like, I started to feel your space with stuff.
00:51:43
I don't know.
00:51:44
Look, she's moved on to somebody else, regardless, this man is not getting back in that house.
00:51:48
And I think that he starts off the episode really thinking they're like, okay, she don't let me come home eventually.
00:51:54
You know, he tells this story about how she left him hanging like how he's going through a phase.
00:51:58
Yeah.
00:51:59
But it's okay.
00:52:00
We're going to work through this, honey.
00:52:01
She's like, no, you on your own, baby.
00:52:03
And so, yeah, I think he has a disconnect from Mary, and this is very different from from Sherlock, you know, the OG Sherlock, of course.
00:52:11
But yeah, he has a disconnect from her so that he can go and fight these crimes on his own, these medical crimes or whatever they are.
00:52:17
Yeah.
00:52:18
We're Watson and Holmes.
00:52:20
They have love interests in the cannon.
00:52:23
Oh, yeah.
00:52:24
Dr.
00:52:24
Watson and Mary are always married in the, in the, in the cannon.
00:52:27
Like that's their thing.
00:52:28
Who's Mary?
00:52:29
Sherlock is.
00:52:30
This woman.
00:52:31
Mary's his wife.
00:52:32
This is his estranged wife in this, in this, in this show, they're always, always a thing.
00:52:38
Now, she'd be dying.
00:52:39
Sometimes, depending on what book she reads, she'd be dying.
00:52:42
But Sherlock is different.
00:52:43
He kind of, and I'm thinking more of the Benedict Cumberbatch one than anything right now, Sherlock really just be kind of like married to his work, you know.
00:52:53
So I don't, I can't think of a real love interest.
00:52:55
What about an elementary?
00:52:56
Were there, was there any, you know, I don't know any canoe d'liction between Holmes and Watson?
00:53:03
Was it a little bit of like a scully and molder situation?
00:53:07
Not to mind.
00:53:08
See, I didn't watch elementary, also, you know, elementary in and of itself, you know, that's based on that phrase, right, elementary, my dear Watson, right?
00:53:16
You know, it's, that's, he doesn't actually say that.
00:53:19
Sherlock didn't, he didn't say that in the original canon.
00:53:22
That's not a, that's not a thing.
00:53:23
Oh.
00:53:24
You know, that's like, right, like later on, you know, like other people writing Sherlock, you know.
00:53:29
But yeah, but the OG Sherlock would never say elementary, my dear Watson.
00:53:33
That's not how he talks.
00:53:34
But anyway, I think that maybe there was some canoe d'liction in elementary, but it would be so outside.
00:53:40
Let us know, let us know what happened with, with the, it would be so outside of what we going to understand about Sherlock Holmes, though, it's because like, he's like, he's almost two tapped into his work to,
00:53:51
to ever be bothered by something like that.
00:53:53
You know what I'm saying?
00:53:54
So there's like, Irene Adler is in the, in Sherlock Holmes, but like, it never actually becomes romantic that I know of.
00:54:02
Maybe I'm tripping, but it's almost like she's very smart and he likes that.
00:54:06
You know, like, I appreciate the intelligence, but I don't ever like, you know, I don't think it ever got anything romantic.
00:54:13
You know what?
00:54:14
Honestly, let me stop lying.
00:54:15
I think in the Robert Downey Jr.
00:54:17
one, who's the woman in that?
00:54:19
Is it, who, Rob, could you, could you tell who's, I think they had a little sum, some going on.
00:54:25
That wasn't Watson.
00:54:29
I remember.
00:54:30
So I remember back in the day, people were trying to say this, maybe Sherlock Holmes and Watson in that movie, Jude Law and Robert Downey Jr.
00:54:37
they had a little sum going on.
00:54:39
Okay.
00:54:40
That was the first, but I think he did have a romantic love interest in that movie too.
00:54:43
Yeah.
00:54:44
So Rachel McAdams of the notebook plays Irene Adler.
00:54:49
Yeah.
00:54:50
So her name pops up a lot.
00:54:52
But I'm, now that, now that we're talking about it, I do think people were insinuating that day.
00:54:56
Yeah.
00:54:57
I'm going to look this up.
00:54:59
I'm actually, I need to know, um, yeah, because I remember, I don't think it was tension in the movie, but you know, people like to write the fan fiction.
00:55:08
Yeah.
00:55:09
Oh, Sherlock Holmes.
00:55:10
Look, no further.
00:55:11
If you want to see some fan fiction, this is where you start.
00:55:12
Sherlock Holmes always.
00:55:13
Um, yeah.
00:55:14
I think this is, I think this is where it was.
00:55:17
I think this was like, okay, people started to question some things.
00:55:20
Of course.
00:55:21
Yeah.
00:55:22
Y'all getting too close outside the office.
00:55:23
All right.
00:55:24
And then the last scene we see, uh, we go back to our good buddy from well Johnson.
00:55:33
Yeah.
00:55:34
Porky.
00:55:35
He's in like some kind of like cable car and we see here Randall Park.
00:55:43
My mouth.
00:55:44
I just felt like, what?
00:55:45
Why it's Randall Park here?
00:55:47
Why is he Moriarty?
00:55:48
This is crazy.
00:55:49
It's crazy that we know that Moriarty has his fingers fused together with webtoes, with fingers.
00:55:58
Is that a thing?
00:55:59
Moriarty has fused fingers.
00:56:00
They made this up.
00:56:01
I've never heard this before.
00:56:02
My life.
00:56:03
I think there was like, we're like, Wu Tang.
00:56:08
No, I think it's just like, you like to have the M motif on Moriarty, you know, like I think they're like in, maybe like popular stuff is like the M is almost like his calling card.
00:56:19
That's not a thing.
00:56:20
But I think that, you know, you do what you want again, like I talked about how canonically this is different, but that's the whole point of Sherlock Holmes after a while is there.
00:56:28
You can make your own Sherlock story and it makes sense.
00:56:31
There are certain things that are not, like almost like irrelevant to the story, right?
00:56:35
Like it's like these little tiny things, canonically, we latch on to them as TV watchers and consumers of media and readers of books that we're like, oh no, all this stuff has to make sense because it's in the same exact universe and it has to be the same thing all the time.
00:56:47
A lot of times when these authors were writing books, they were just writing that little stuff that didn't matter.
00:56:52
Okay.
00:56:53
Yeah.
00:56:54
Like, oh yeah, it happened at 8 o'clock.
00:56:55
Fine.
00:56:56
But it's like the stuff that does matter.
00:56:57
That's the stuff that you really got latch on to and for Sherlock Holmes, yeah, Moriarty can do whatever he wants.
00:57:01
He can have, he can have one hand for all I care.
00:57:03
As long as he is Sherlock Holmes is arch-nemesis who he can never, like who is almost his equal.
00:57:09
You know what I'm saying?
00:57:10
Like that's the thing with Moriarty.
00:57:11
It doesn't matter who you get to portray him.
00:57:12
He's supposed to be intelligently, like intellectually like combative with Sherlock Holmes.
00:57:19
Like they're on the same level.
00:57:20
He cannot be to, is this that man in the Joker levels of villainy, okay?
00:57:24
The one cannot survive while the other one lives, you know, like that's the kind of energy they got.
00:57:28
And they're tied together like Hancock and that white lady from that movie.
00:57:32
I never, I can never remember who that was.
00:57:35
Yeah.
00:57:36
Yeah.
00:57:37
Hancock the Will Smith movie.
00:57:38
Yeah.
00:57:39
Yeah.
00:57:40
But in heads for centuries, you know, and like they keep batting, they keep coming together and they're like toiletels that happen whenever they meet.
00:57:45
Okay.
00:57:46
All right.
00:57:47
So Randall Park, kind of playing against type here is in a lot of comedies.
00:57:52
That's known for, uh, fresh off the boat, but the devil works hard Randall Park works harder.
00:57:59
He that is in so many things.
00:58:03
Yeah.
00:58:04
The office.
00:58:05
Yeah.
00:58:06
No.
00:58:07
Um, is he from the, did he show up on the office?
00:58:11
Well, he was John Krasinski.
00:58:12
They're the same person.
00:58:13
That was the running joke for years was that like John Krasinski and Randall Park are like interchangeable.
00:58:18
Uh, so I believe they swap him out in that one episode of the office and everybody's like, acts like everything is normal.
00:58:23
They kind of play on that a little bit here with Moriarty because I think, uh, Porky Johnson says, I didn't expect for you to, I didn't expect for you to be Moriarty basically like, I expect to see you, no, no, I expect to see you here and we're all like,
00:58:35
yeah, I'm like, no, no one is a hundred guesses.
00:58:37
Yeah.
00:58:38
Well, they, and they hit this.
00:58:39
I, I looked, I checked the IMDB for the cast list.
00:58:42
He's not on it.
00:58:43
Yeah.
00:58:44
Yeah.
00:58:45
At the very end, they, they dropped the, you know, Randall Park is Moriarty and I loved them.
00:58:50
They have on shows where like in the opening credits, they spoil like some surprise person.
00:58:55
I know it was like an issue with like the actor's guild.
00:58:58
I wonder if they fixed that where then they can have a big surprise and then say the actor's name at the end of the show because that's what they did here.
00:59:05
And I know it was an issue for a while, but Randall Park has been in something that we have covered before on nothing but Netflix.
00:59:14
Do you remember what it was?
00:59:16
Randall Park?
00:59:17
Yes.
00:59:18
No.
00:59:19
No, I don't.
00:59:20
He was the lead in a show that we once covered on nothing but Netflix in 2022 called Blockbuster.
00:59:30
Wow, oh my god, to go here today, he's smooth.
00:59:38
Yes.
00:59:39
He was the face of Blockbuster, the Netflix original series.
00:59:43
That's crazy.
00:59:44
First of all, forgot that we watched it.
00:59:46
We talked about it.
00:59:47
It could take the plot.
00:59:48
They were bringing Blackbuster back, baby, and it did not come back.
00:59:50
I don't think we've got any more Blackbuster.
00:59:52
It was like instantly canceled.
00:59:53
Right.
00:59:54
And we were like, wouldn't it be crazy if this was instantly canceled because it's Blockbuster and it was.
00:59:58
It really was.
00:59:59
So sad.
01:00:00
And we really had it.
01:00:01
We've gone through so many shows here on nothing but Netflix.
01:00:03
It's crazy.
01:00:04
We've gone through a whole era in Netflix.
01:00:05
And that's Watson.
01:00:06
And so hopefully Watson, a lot of people checked it out here tonight and it could be a new big hit for CBS.
01:00:13
Look, the shows that do well on CBS.
01:00:16
Of course, there's our beloved reality shows.
01:00:20
But other than that, you know, cop shows, doctor shows, yeah, welcome home.
01:00:27
Yeah.
01:00:28
Yeah.
01:00:29
This is great.
01:00:30
This is great.
01:00:31
I've never got to premiere a scripted show with you live premiere right after the episode.
01:00:37
This is fun.
01:00:38
Yeah.
01:00:39
I mean, could it fit in with Matt Locke and Tracker and NCIS origins and Elspeth and Fire Country?
01:00:47
Elspeth?
01:00:48
Of all those shows.
01:00:49
So Elspeth is starting, the trailer for Elspeth really speak to me.
01:00:53
I don't know what it is.
01:00:54
It's just kind of like, I can't get into Elspeth.
01:00:57
I don't know.
01:00:58
No, I never watched an episode of Elspeth.
01:01:01
I kind of want to watch it.
01:01:02
I'm thinking that I'm leaning into like, it looks fun.
01:01:05
It looks fun.
01:01:06
Did you think Watson was fun?
01:01:09
I know there were moments of fun here on Watson.
01:01:13
I feel like it's not a show really for me.
01:01:16
I couldn't.
01:01:17
I didn't know if it was fun.
01:01:19
You know, like I, it wasn't stale.
01:01:22
It reminded me a little bit of the show numbers.
01:01:25
Yeah.
01:01:26
You know, but I'm like, is there a charm in the show?
01:01:30
Right?
01:01:31
It's more chestnut the charm.
01:01:33
I like more chestnut.
01:01:34
I've known him my whole life, you know, as far as television and movies go, seemingly.
01:01:39
So I like, naturally, I'm like, oh, no, he's good in this.
01:01:42
And I really thought he was.
01:01:43
But I was really trying to figure out like, you know, like, is this like a funny shot?
01:01:46
Like, is it lighthearted or is this like an intense mystery drama that we're going to be in on?
01:01:53
