I love s&c John so much omg😭 he's so embarrassing he can't even say a single sentence without stuttering
I lost it completely when he came back from restroom with a phone he found but Sherlock told him not to give it away for now and poor John was like "I..I find a...poo.. in the toilet..just letting you know" AND THE BARTENDER STARTED FUCKING CLAPPING FOR HIM😭

John not being there in part 1 of The Three Gables makes me sad. :(
I know he needs time to grieve for Mary, but still. I miss him a lot.
That being said, I don't mind Mariana being the narrator this time. I love her voice too.
And I like the fact that Mariana and Sherlock are getting some alone time together (after loads of episodes of Mariana - John's alone time and John - Sherlock's alone time). Quite intriguing.
#sherlock and co#sherlock & co#The Three Gables - 1#podcast#my ramblings#personal#not really in the mood to blog about this adventure this time for some reason#haven't listened to The Sign of Four adventure just yet (I think I'll do that later)#the first part of this adventure sounds so lonely and melancholic without John in it :/#I miss my cringey podcaster 🥺#but it's okay... he just needs some time I think.#sherlock holmes#john watson#mariana ametxazurra#the story The Three Gables from ACD canon was already not so good to begin with (given all the blatant racism and everything)#the description and intro of Steve Dixey as a character was still really weird in this episode#at least it wasn't overtly racist (because he hasn't been described as Black in the podcast) this time#spoilers#sherlock & co spoilers#I've just listened to the first couple of episodes of The Sign of Four and I quite like Mary too in this version of Sherlock Holmes#I'm pretty sure she's been characterised well this time (like how she was so well written in Guy Ritchie's first movie of Sherlock Holmes)#because I trust the writing team by now. They've been really good at plots and characterisations in most of the episodes so far#and that's really all that matters in the end#I still don't like war/stan as a ship though (even when I do love John and quite like Mary as individual people in this particular version)#yeah...

Day two of National Clean Your Home Month:
The kitchen is... well, it's more clean. There is definite improvement. Two episodes of Sherlock & Co.'s worth of Stuff Removal And Cleaning. I am going to have to find another podcast as I'm almost out of Sherlock & Co. - maybe I'll go catch up on WTNV next, it's been a minute.
And I made soup, so, bonus!
I choose to believe my bitching about 4thewords yesterday is what caused the miraculous return of the export feature - yay!
#naclyoho#salty pirates#4thewords#I really do recommend Sherlock & Co if anyone is looking for a good podcast to listen to#honestly more excited about new episodes of that than the return of BBC's Sherlock#now to go edit my fic so I can _finally_ post it#and work on my yuletide monster

Note to self: going insane mentally? A snackie may help. Get out of the house if you can, walk or bike or drive over to a little convenience store, get yourself a snack (mine was an egg salad sandwich, peach tea, a donut, and a cookie), and find somewhere to enjoy it while listening to music or a special interest podcast/video. I promise if you try then it's very likely it'll help your ✨ stupid mental health ✨
#written after i did exactly that after a bad mental health night#sometimes im shocked by how much good food can help me feel better#also never really got into podcasts until i started listening to Sherlock & Co amd now im hooked#for some reason their voices help me so much. even if im missing the plot it still help me mentally#so thank u sherlock & co!!#mental health#neurodivergent#actually autistic

Sherlock and Co.
So I just listened to the latest episode, the conclusion of A Case of Identity. I have to say, it was deeply disappointing. For the most part I've been really enjoying Sherlock and Co. It's been fun and engaging. The actors are great. It's a solid new take on "Sherlock Holmes but in the 21st century". I love that they're going through all the stories of the original canon and giving them modern updates. So many Sherlock Holmes adaptations seem to have the basic trappings of the characters and premise without any interest in the original mysteries. This show is clearly being made with love and deep attention to detail. Also, on a personal note, my heart melts every time it explicitly (and even casually!) confirms that Sherlock is autistic and that that is a DISABILITY for him. He gets overstimulated. It gives him an often restricted diet. He hurts people's feelings from not picking up social cues and feels bad about it! There's also a lot of hints that Sherlock used to struggle to interact with others FAR worse than he currently does, to the point where he has never graduated from any school he attended. And John is kind and supportive, understanding the situation as a friend and a doctor, while also having his own understandable limitations. He gets annoyed with Sherlock sometimes and they need to hash things out. It's not perfect between them, but I can see how they're growing closer as they come to understand each other. John Watson is also handled very interestingly in this podcast. He's clearly got some issues of his own he's going through. There's some obvious PTSD from his time in Afghanistan, but also more mundane issues. He feels unappreciated by his mother and still grieves the father that died when he was ten. He's clearly massively insecure, as he constantly expresses jealousy of other people's wealth, good looks, and success. He seems to perk up every time he hears of an idea that could, in theory, make him rich or successful. He constantly second-guesses himself in any social situation because he's so afraid of looking foolish. I even think the reason that he himself decided to call their detective/podcasting business Sherlock and Co. (rather than Sherlock and Watson or something more evenly balanced) is because of his profound insecurity. He doesn't think anyone would care about the role he plays in the business. Clearly Sherlock is the only interesting person there.
But for all of that, I think this is the most competent, helpful, and good Watson I've ever seen. (ACD's Watson is excellent, but the stories almost always really downplayed his role in the crime-solving.) He is shown, again and again, to be an excellent doctor and more than that, one who is very calm and capable under extreme pressure. (Which makes perfect sense with his history as an army doctor.) If someone gets shot at your wedding, Dr. John Watson is the one who will have the skill and the presence of mind to use an expired condom as a tool to save their life. And he's also a good co-detective. He regularly helps Sherlock see connections that Sherlock might have missed. Things relating to pop culture, to social norms, to anything medical, not to mention all the support and encouragement John offers. And Sherlock genuinely appreciates it! These two are an actual, real team! It's excellent! (I have a soft spot in my heart for Nigel Bruce's Watson, but I can't deny that he inspired a real line of idiotic, totally a sidekick, why-are-you-even-here Watson portrayals. Granted, we've gotten away from that in most modern portrayals; Liu, Freeman, and Law were also very capable, though I think Liu was easily the smartest. It's just refreshing to have a Watson I can respect.) But all of that is a pretty roundabout way of getting to my point of what disappointed me with A Case of Identity. So, in the original Case of Identity story, a woman comes to Sherlock and Watson saying that her fiancee has disappeared. The eventual solution is that everything about this fiancee was a lie. He was actually her evil stepfather in disguise "wooing" her with the intention of disappearing mysteriously and leaving her too heartbroken and loyal to think of marrying anyone else (and thus depriving her stepfather of her fortune). The Sherlock and Co. adaptation has a solid update to the story. It's now about a rich, though insecure, man who's being cat-fished. He loves "Angel", even wants to marry her, and has given her tons of money for two years now. He's only going to Sherlock at all because he has a friend who thinks the situation is sketchy. In a parallel to the original story, it turns out that "Angel" is actually Des, the client's stepfather. It started off as a scheme from Des and the mother, Clara, to keep Miles from dating women they didn't approve of. Then Des went behind Clara's back to keep the charade going and get more and more money, consequently getting more and more intimate with his stepson the whole time. I was already a bit nervous at that point, because Des was coming dangerously close to playing out a transphobic stereotype. Being a man who pretended to be a woman for personal gain, and willing to completely betray and deceive the people closest to him. It also didn't help that John had made a point of saying that there was nothing wrong with being a Tory mere minutes before. (Which to me read as more of his insecurity and need to not alienate the in-universe listeners but certainly wasn't interrogated.) But I tried to be optimistic and kept listening. Unfortunately...it was even worse than I'd feared. Des turned out to not only being grifting his stepson through a semi-incestuous cat-fishing scheme, but he had a split personality. Angel had become real through Des having a mental health crisis. And she could spontaneously take over, which she did in order to grab Clara and hold a knife to her throat when the truth came out. Finally, Angel/Des tries to kill themself, which is something the show has the audacity to make a joke about before the audience knows if Des lived or died.
Sooooo, yeah. That's incredibly offensive on so many levels. Angel, while not quite a trans character (I think?) plays into transphobic rhetoric beat-for-beat. It's also an incredibly cliche representation of split personality disorder that plays into extremely tired representations of people with mental illnesses being violent dangers to society. And that's especially disappointing because of the attention Sherlock and Co. usually pays to portraying mental health issues with sensitivity. What the fuck, Sherlock and Co.? Did you get a new writer for this one? Did they time travel directly from the 1950s? This is cheap drama that hurts. It hurts trans women. It hurts people with mental illnesses. And it hurts the wider queer and disabled communities. Which, if you're trying to get popular with the most vocal Sherlock Holmes fans today, are largely the exact people you most want to like you.
Cards on the table, I've been really hoping this show would finally be the adaptation where John and Sherlock would become an actual, explicit couple. It's something fans have longed for for literal generations and now that all of Sherlock Holmes is in the public domain it can finally definitely happen. I felt like Sherlock and John had good chemistry and were maybe even flirting in previous episodes, but I'll save those theories for now. My point is that this is a show where I believed that could happen. I trusted Sherlock and Co. to be respectful and thoughtful. And I'm not saying that all my goodwill is gone now. But it has taken a hit. Sherlock and Co. has been overwhelmingly clever and interesting, finding creative ways to recast the classic stories while still keeping their hearts. I love the acting, I love the action and mysteries, and I haven't even come close to expressing how much thought I've put into what overarching plot threads might be getting established in each episode.
But I won't be able to continue to enjoy those parts if I come to spend my time listening more concerned about if a plot twist is going to leave me feeling attacked. I don't know who writes for this show and I don't know if you read any reviews on Tumblr, but I hope you do. And I hope you do better in the future. An apology and some good trans representation in the future would be nice. Please, I really want to be able to obsess about your show peacefully!

I’ve been listening to Sherlock & co and it’s very fun easy listening. My only hot take is that John should stop trying to appeal to a wide audience and really lean into his convictions. Like this guy broke the law to fight in Ukraine, the least he can do is call out Tories on his podcast. I just think it would be good character development. Like Sherlock is being socialised by his coworkers and John’s antisocial rebelliousness is being encouraged by Sherlock teehee.

I'm looking to get into more Sherlock Holmes media and I've heard really good things about Sherlock and Co. - do I need any prior knowledge about the stories to understand the podcast? This would pretty much be my first venture into a Holmes adaptation if you don't count DGS
Thanks!
nope, not at all! i've only watched bbc sherlock and i've never really read the stories, and i'm getting through just fine :)
it's a modern au so it starts you off at the beginning of their relationship. it doesn't just throw you straight in, haha. i highly recommend it, since i think it does a lot of things right that bbc sherlock does wrong.
happy listening :D

Jolie’s thoughts on
Shoscombe Old Place (Sherlock & Co. podcast)
Good call shifting the environment away from the way too similar horse racing scenario of Silver Blaze.
Thank you also, Joel, for letting our boys go on a holiday. It’s not what I imagined when I said I wanted Consequences after Dancing Men, but it works! And I find it telling that Sherlock especially seems to have offered no resistance to the plan. Seriously, S & J camping by the river (and Sherlock going fishing, because of course he would!) for real and not just as a blind (like in ACD’s story) filled me with happiness and serenity.
I was not prepared at all to learn so much about John's childhood and family circumstances. "Made and then broken in the Army and subsequently fixed at 221B Baker Street", yes, that is the John Watson that we know and love in any universe. 😭
I'm so glad he still has a refuge in his old town now, and I love that Sherlock gets invited totally as a matter of course. I so heard him on the "weird feeling when a place you used to call home doesn’t feel like home anymore", too.
I'm also left wondering a LOT whether John’s canonical unhappy alcoholic brother (also Henry/Harry, like the father?) from Sign of Four exists in this universe. If yes, there should be traces of him in the old family home for Sherlock to deduce… Unless of course he’s a half brother or something who never lived there (from John's dad's earlier marriage or relationship, possibly?). Or maybe the traces are there and Sherlock just never said a thing, and only will later…
I also wasn't expecting John to run into his famous so-far-nameless ex! I found myself hoping that they wouldn’t go down the tropey route of the Crazy Evil Ex. When John called Carrie "evil" when they were trapped in the crypt, that really didn’t seem accurate. But John was being so realistically cranky about everything to do with Carrie, I really felt for him.
Sherlock was being such a sweetie throughout, especially at the start. Doing small talk with the neighbour, NOT pointing out that John rambles exactly as bad as his mum sometimes, not wanting him to have to call his ex in person, repeating over and over that they’re in a beautiful place with good beer and he’s really enjoying himself… Calling John invaluable… Feeling a little bad about recklessly leading them both into danger in Dancing Men, perhaps (not that John didn’t follow willingly and without question)? Or just being happy that he and John are still alive and still around and evidently didn’t fall out over the Dancing Men business, either?
"I'm a big boy. I can do it." - "Would you like me to call her?" - "Yes, please." - "What’s wrong?" - "Poor signal in this village." - "I’m blocked, aren’t I." My heart 🥹 How I love a protective Sherlock.
And our boys getting philosophical in ancient sacred buildings at night is almost a tradition by now. I love it when they do that. The River Thames analogy was so intriguing, too. Who would have thought that Sherlock could be such a poet?
"A sea? A lake? A waterfall?" [10 seconds later] "Shoutout to Professor James Moriarty, who is listening intently to every word." AAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!! 😱😱😱 That was the creepiest moment ever and John was so right to lose his shit.
How close are we to Reichenbach? We might be there by August. Or Joel might be pulling all our legs.
Whatever it may be, don’t deny yourself the pleasure of looking at this absolutely beautiful art by @paperleef !
Oh and then of course there was a case as well, but it hardly seemed to matter for most of the story. No surprises there for the connoisseurs of ACD’s original stories, either.
I’m glad that they did not go down the Crazy Evil Ex route with Carrie after all. I was a little narratively underwhelmed by how John’s dynamic with Carrie and its potential for conflict just fizzled out. But thumbs up for realism there. They’ve both moved on and that’s it. Like so often in RL. And didn’t we all love the fact that John now considers Baker Street his home, Sherlock & Mariana his family and the Sh & Co project his future.
I also didn’t expect Part 3 to turn into an anti-classism manifesto, but it does make sense, especially seeing how the matter bugs John all the time, too. Check out this great meta by @comicgeekery on the matter!
I would also like to contest Mr Emory’s ideas about the founding date of the Adidas shoe brand, but that’s just a tiny detail.
Sherlock: "John Hamish Watson!" - John: "Don’t Hamish me!" 😂 - Wasn’t aware that’s a verb, but apparently it is!
The car chase scene/river rescue scene was so good I literally forgot this was just audio. Also, Sherlock and John diving in a lake together to get Robert out was just… so touching. And so cool. (I think I’m mostly in love with how Sherlock switched immediately from "Watson, get out of there" to "OK, I’m going right in there with you".) And did you all notice we got another "John"? It’s still being saved for special moments. 🥰
Dear Joe, nobody who dies on duty on a peacekeeping mission gets a cheap place in heaven in my opinion. But then, if Harry Watson was anywhere as modest and laid-back as his son is, and something tells me that he must have been, he probably took a cheap place on purpose, not to be a pain, and when an angel came up and wanted to guide him closer to the hero places, he was just, "nah, mate, I'm good here".
Also, Sherlock packing their things before the case was even wrapped up, to make sure John would find it easier to go back home to London, rather than lingering and questioning his life choices, was so sweet again.
"You’re stressed, any you’re lashing out at those you love (!). You’re losing your mind. You spoke to a river!" - "And you put a dog in a bag!" - Possibly one of my favourite ever closing scenes of this show. (Treat yourselves to this lovely observation by @itsnobodysproblem , please!)

What's Sherlock and co? TV? Twitter? Email? I'm confused
It’s a podcast!! It’s created from the angle that John Watson is documenting his adventures in crime solving with Sherlock in the format of a true crime podcast. All the characters are played by actors so it’s best described as an audio drama. It’s been running since October and as of yesterday it’s on episode 15. It’s created by a group called Goalhanger and it just won Pod Bible’s best audio drama podcast of 2023!
For marketing/immersion, someone at Goalhanger runs a twitter account (@/DocJWatsonMD) and an email account ([email protected]). They’re both in character as John, and he does shoutouts on the podcast in character as well, so they’re doing a very good job of making him feel like a real guy.
If you’ve ever enjoyed any Sherlock Holmes media, I’d really recommend giving Sherlock & Co a listen. I’ve been describing it to people as BBC Sherlock but good. There’s still that good Sherlock and John banter, but they’re nicer to each other and clearly care about each other. Sherlock is canonically autistic (among other things) and both that and John’s PTSD are handled very well in both my and other fans’ opinions. The audience also gets to hear all the clues, and Sherlock explains a lot of his deductions, so the mystery solving feels very satisfying. The show is funny and charming, and the theme song is an absolute banger. If you do end up giving it a listen, I’d love to hear what you think!

I've never been a huge fan of watching tv shows or reading, Moreso a fan of listening, SO when i found out there's a podcast called
Sherlock & CO.
now I'm always hesitant to write things about podcasts i haven't fully caught up on BUT I'm happy to say this podcast is an exception to that (as will be a few other excruciatingly long podcasts)
this podcast is very reminiscence of the classic Sherlock Holmes beside the fact that its shown as a podcast in universe run by Watson (this in universe character has a tumblr blog too run by the character that ill link here)
either way onto my opinion, i really enjoy this podcast a lot, and as someone who's never read sherlock or watched a sherlock movie before listening to this. i really think it does a good job of keeping you interested in the story without dragging things on too much, plus Watson is an socially awkward podcaster who somehow doesn't know how to stop a recording at the right time,
(although i will warn any new listeners that the episodes are cut up into two to three part chunks, each part being posted weekly)
quickly adding this before posting but i did end up watching the RDJ version and i still like this podcast more
overall sherlock and co is a good modern rehashing of a classic story, and it doesn't break off from the original to an extreme degree,
if you haven't already started listening to it i recommend you do and always I'm going to link the masterlist of all the podcasts I've 'reviewed' so far
rat out!

zip's tid bits | saturday, may 18, 2024
i got up on time (9am) for once!!!!!!
i did that so i could go to the insurance office and get breakfast with my dad and stepmom (i had some really good waffles and time with my dad <3)
i got a little frustrated with my stepmom over some stuff
i watched four episodes of sherlock holmes (1984) with my dad which was great bc he was just as into trying to solve the mysteries as i was :)
throughout the day i had some really kind and sweet interactions with people and it totally made my day and everything i've been struggling with this week so bearable <33333333
(and they honestly almost made me cry good tears at certain points, lmao)
not much happened! it was one of those chill do-nothing rainy days :)
