After that jaw-dropping ‘Elementary’ finale, we just couldn’t resist dedicating an entire podcast to these amazing women. Have a listen while we swoon over Irene, marvel at Moriarty and love love LOVE Joan Watson. With comparisons to canon as well as other Sherlock Holmes adaptations by the BBC and Granada TV, we talk about what makes these women, and this adaptation, especially groundbreaking in the annals of Holmesian tv. Warnings: * this episode is mostly safe for work, but there are some mild references to sex  * this episode contains discussions of gaslighting, emotional manipulation/abuse and drug abuse

Episode 3 will air two weeks from today (we promise!), and focus on how modern adaptations portray Holmes as neuroatypical.
