Derren Brown: Miracle (2016)
Derren Brown Being Derren Brown
First let me say you can ignore all of the negative reviews because they're obviously left by people who are too cowardly to come right out and say, "I don't like it when people make me question my faith."
Yes, it's a slow-paced show, but that's because he's taking his time to demonstrate each point he has to make.
Derren's specialty is making you think. If you're not comfortable with that concept, none of his shows are for you.
Elementary: How to Get a Head (2018)
Don't Believe the Nay-sayers and Boo-hoo-ers
(Avast, mateys: teeny-tiny spoilers ahead.)
No, this was not the most dynamic of episodes.
Because it wasn't meant to be.
It's a filler episode that explores the characters of the characters
Sherlock and Joan's fun tiff which was quietly revealing and funny, but still in character.
Marcus and Sherlock's relationship.
How Captain Gregson views the pair.
Sherlock's awareness of how he's viewed.
I'm binging the show on Hulu so I don't know what's going to happen with Marcus, but the producers are using this episode to deepen our understanding of the cast and their relationship to each other (and probably setting up some stuff for later in the season).
It's not a high-wire act, but it's still a very fun episode.
