Now I don't mind a little artistic license in the handling of
shows about times or characters I like and follow. Rarely does any movie or TV
show completely follow facts or history.
My main motivation, besides being
entertained, in watching shows like this is that they make me want to learn
more about the actual facts behind the story or people portrayed. I will go
look up details on things taking place in the story to see how far astray the
artistic license went.
But for some reason Houdini and Doyle has not done that for me.
It may be that I am not all the interested in Houdini and that I
do not particularly like the portrayal of Doyle.
Or maybe it is just that they stray just a little too far away for
historic fact about the times and the two main characters.
I am not sure, but this week I found myself deleting from the DVR
a couple episodes I had not seen to make room for Women’s Gymnastics.
There were a few things I liked about the show, but most of that had
to do with the sets and the atmosphere of the episodes.
Oh well, I can at least look forward to the start of Elementary in
a few months and Sherlock in a couple of years.
Women's Gymnastics sounds like a much better entertainment.

ReplyDeleteIt was!
DeleteI have to say I enjoyed it. It surprises me but there you go....
ReplyDeleteI am not hating it, but I find I don't make a point of watching it or recording it.
DeleteIt does have some fun parts and like I said, I like the sets.
