Black
More race-swapping garbage. The notion that a black could be a medical genius detective is utterly ridiculous — beyond laughable. Those responsible for this disgrace should be blacklisted from the entertainment industry.

shareThe Holmes mythos has been adapted so many times and in so many ways, I don't see this interpretation as an issue.
If the series were set in the 1880s, then I would have an issue for numerous reasons, but in the contemporary world, why not?
This is part of a larger attempt to erase White people and White culture. That is why I have a problem with it.
shareNah it's just a dumb TV show. Source material is older than your great, great-grandmother.
Denzel played Macbeth.......so what?
If there is a good story, eventually there will be "race swapping", because the story carries over time and there are multiple iterations of it in multiple countries with multiple actors playing the parts. It's a numbers game at this point, not a "woke" game.
Go back to your cave, dumb ass.
Why are you so delicate that you feel erased by a little TV show? Careful, that hate is going to melt a little snowflake like yourself.
shareIt’s not just one TV show — it’s the entire media machine and the Hollywood propaganda factory. It’s the relentless anti-White DEI agenda woven into every corner of the cultural landscape. It’s the shameless promotion of the degenerate LGBTQ agenda, feminism, and incelism, all targeted at White people to disrupt their ability to form healthy families and have children, driving birthrates below replacement. It’s the deliberate importation of non-White foreigners who are hostile to our culture and values into every White nation — the U.S., Canada, Australia, and Europe — systematically replacing White populations while brainwashing us into accepting it under the guise of 'diversity.'
We’re forced to worship this false idol of diversity, to venerate it like a dogma, and to carry the burden of manufactured White guilt for every historical grievance, real or exaggerated. And if we dare question it — if we refuse to bow, refuse to self-flagellate for these so-called White sins — we’re immediately branded as racists and White supremacists, and then marginalized, ostracized and cancelled. All because we dared to question or worse complain about this agenda.
Well I am racist and a White supremacist and a White Nationalist. And I'm proud of it too. I wear these labels like a badge of honor.
White Fucking Power! Wokeness is Cancer! and Seig Heil!

Meh.
shareMeh? What’s the matter, Gump? A little more than you bargained for? Too much White Power for you to process? Is your brain still buffering? It’s okay — you don’t need to understand. When the fascists take over — and they are taking over — we’ll bring you up to speed lickety-split. It’s going to be great. You’re going to love it.
shareMeh, you're just fascist trash. Sounds like it will be a rich target environment if your wet dream comes to pass.
shareo/
shareSo explain again how something in which you have the choice of watching is being imposed on you. Elaborate.
shareThe posters you've been responding to are all socks of our resident troll.
shareWho's our resident troll?
shareHe goes by many names, but those posters are a few of them.
shareAre you talking about Ranb and MovieFanatic? I know there were other trolls who used to mess with everyone, but they were banned — like VladPutin and whatever other name he used before that. As for MovieFanatic, I put him in a completely different category. I don’t see him as a troll. A good, funny troll who busts everyone’s balls can be appreciated, even respected, if they’re intelligent and entertaining. But I don’t consider VladPutin or this Ranb to be good trolls — they’re retards who just annoy everyone and act like pieces of shit. MovieFanatic, though, is worse. He’s a stalker and a rat. His goal isn’t to have fun; it’s to get me banned because he disagrees with my views on race. He’s just trying to silence people he doesn’t agree with.
shareOur resident troll uses different personalities. He also acts like the "fun troll" and even has right wing personas to ignite discussions.
shareThese fascists don't know what hit them when Ranb and his crew of allied anti-fascist resistance roll through and identify them! What incredible identification skills they possess, they can identify fascists from their writing style alone. The hardest identifiers on the block I tell you. Not much else though lol
sharePlease don't feed the trolls.
shareIt’s the deliberate importation of non-White foreigners who are hostile to our culture and values into every White nation — the U.S., Canada, Australia, and Europe — systematically replacing native populations while brainwashing us into accepting it under the guise of 'diversity.'
You're right, my mistake. I should have left out the part about native populations, as I was specifically referring to Europe in that context. My argument still applies to the U.S., Canada, and Australia, but in relation to White people, not the native populations. I've corrected it now — changed 'Native' to 'White.' Thank you for pointing that out. I make an effort to proofread everything before posting to ensure it's well-written, but sometimes I miss stuff.
shareThis is bound to flop due to race swapping. Watson was white in the books and other media so keep him white.
shareIn other media
The Japanese TV series Miss Sherlock featured female Japanese Holmes and Watson.
The American TV series Elementary featured an Asian female Watson.
Enola Holmes had Watson portrayed by an Indian.
In The Family Guy Watson was portrayed by a dog.
Other examples probably exist.
The Irregulars also featured a black Watson before this show. Not interested in this for 3 reasons. it doesn't feature Sherlock and Watsons just a glorified sidekick, it doesn't feature any actors that interest me and it looks like a bland medical procedural. Also IMO race/gender/sexuality swapping characters has become a tired, extremely over used woke gimmick that's gotten really old.
shareI have no desire to watch this either, but in the OG novels/stories and better film/TV adaptions Watsons is hardly a glorified sidekick. He is a valuable partner.
I will admit those better adaptions are few and far between. The film Murder By Decree and the mid 2000 Russian TV series demonstrate my point. The weak movie Sherlock: A case of Evil features a useful Watson. I would have to rewatch the 1980s BBC series before I comment.
I'm not saying he's not a valuable character. But at the end of the day Sherlock is the genius crime solver. Dr Watson is merely a medical Doctor and best friend there to help Holmes with his deductions.
The woke race/gender/sexuality swapping is getting dumb though. Irregulars made him a gay black man (who's secretly in love with Sherlock), Elementary made him a small Asian woman and in this hes a presumably straight American black man. The only decent adaptation of the character i've seen recently was Martin Freeman in Sherlock.
The Harry Potter Broadway show has a black Hermione and she has mixed parents. They really took "mudblood" to a whole different meaning. It's a great show and once I was finished SMH over that whole swap, I enjoyed the show VERY much.
It did not flop. We are at a point in society where you just have to expect this race-swapping and we have to learn to not be bothered by it.
"The notion that a black could be a medical genius detective is utterly ridiculous — beyond laughable."
I have a hard time even believing you're serious about that, but in case you are, I disagree with that 100%.
What I do agree 100% with you on is that the race-swapping is disgusting. Why not do a new show with an entirely new character? Why change Watson's color? That is truly outrageous. It shows not only contempt for the original character, but also an extreme lack of creativity on the part of the writers. I wouldn't ever want to see a remake of Porgy and Bess or How Stella Got Her Groove Back with a white cast and I certainly don't want to see historically white characters remade black.
I think net' people believe the "House" series has been off the required time to try another version of it. This guy will probably carry a handgun like all CBS people do. He'll probably have a rude attitude like the very talented Dr.H.
So good luck to CBS with it. Though, I don't watch any of their series. Too many NCIS spinoffs I don't know how viewers take it.
So you're claiming that no black person can be a medical genius? Start your own blacklist and see how it works. :)
Edited for spelling.
Yeah, that’s what I’m claiming. Or at the very least, they are extremely rare. I’m not saying that not a single one exists — I’m sure there are a few unicorns here and there. What I’m saying is that because they’re so rare, it’s simply not believable. If such a thing were to happen, it would be a huge deal. So, making a show about a black genius and pretending that’s normal just stretches the limits of credulity.
shareReported.
shareLOL. Good. Report me Toby. And don't stop because I'm never going to stop spitting facts about race.
shareYou have not spit one fact. You have only spewed out hatred and white supremacist propaganda. I find it funny and ironic how you behave. So it's cool to be racist against black people but it's bad to be racist against whites. Rather disgusting human being you are.
shareThey're all facts, Toby. And yes, in a White country, it's only wrong to be racist against Whites. If you don't like it, then leave.
shareNope none are facts. I actually have duel citizenship and now stay in Canada lol. You are human garbage.
shareI hold dual citizenship as well. Between Poland and the U.S. As for you, Toby, it's probably better that you're in Canada rather than the U.S. — you're not exactly wanted here. However, by being there, you're still contributing to the decline in quality of life for everyone in Canada, which is also a White Western country. Unfortunately, that's just not good enough. You need to leave the West. I don't care where you go, as long as it's not here. Go ruin somebody else's nations.
shareYou aren't wanted in the us bud. This isn't 1960s anymore. The civil rights happened for a reason.
shareCivil rights will be repealed — and based on the Supreme Court's recent actions, it's clear this is the final step. Abortion and affirmative action have already been dismantled, and gay rights are likely to follow. Once civil rights are gone, we’ll return to the pre-1960s era when America was 90% White, focused on the interests of its White majority, and was actually great. The slogan of the future will be: "Make America White Again."
shareOnce that occurs get back to me. Until then I'm right here bitch boi!
shareFunny, that’s exactly what the feminists said about abortion — and now that’s gone. LOL. Affirmative action? Gone. Now, DEI is being dismantled across the country as we speak. No more special privileges Toby. And we are just getting started.
shareYou think I'm scared of you people? Do not worry there will be pushback. We aren't going down without a fight. Women still have the right to vote. Better work on that lol. That's a feminist thing. So looks like you were not successful. I would feel sorry for any woman you would have contact with. No doubt you would abuse any woman if they gave you attention.
shareYou've been pushing for the last 50 years, now it's our turn to push back. Time to roll all that "progress" back.
And sure, women have the right to vote... But eventually, the 19th Amendment will be repealed too. Christian Nationalism is on the rise, and based on my interactions with them, it’s clear doing away with the 19th amendment is one of their goals.
Once that happens get back to me until then deal with diversity fuckboy.
shareThe era of diversity is over Toby. Now go cry about it.
shareInteresting then why you still complaining about it lol? If it were over you wouldn't be complaining about it still.
shareI'm advocating for its complete eradication, which means I have to identify it in every nook and cranny, call it out, and expose it. Total and utter eradication.
shareWhich means it's still here. You said it was over. Nah I don't think it is. With the financial success of wicked it is going to continue to grow. Wicked was woke and made a killing at the box office lol. Cope! I find it funny you think you have any kind of power to make a difference in that way. It's cute.
shareI said the ERA is over, which means we’re in the early stages of eradicating diversity.
Just stop. You're too retarded to be having these conversations. Why don't you lurk for a while? No one wants to hear from you. You contribute nothing — less than nothing. You're a detriment to this community.
It won't happen. Once it does you come talk to me until then your words will fall on deaf ears. I heard that bullshit decades ago. It didn't happen then either.
shareI don't like them casting an African-American for an iconic British role. Instead of using an iconic character from the past, they should just create a new character. Sherlock Holmes is unfortunately in the public domain so people can take a dump on him and Watson. I didn't even like seeing Robert Downey Jr. as Sherlock Holmes since he's not British. I will confess that I enjoyed the Holmes and Watson movie but that was a ridiculous comedy.
There have to be some good African-American literary characters that they can use. There is supposed to be an Easy Rawlins show in the next few years and that was the character that Denzel Washington played in the movie Devil in a Blue Dress.
I do strongly disagree with your assertion that a black person could not become a medical detective. There have been plenty of excellent African-American medical professionals. Television is also inspirational so a show could encourage a young child to chase their dream of becoming a doctor or a detective.
The article below covers some famous African-American doctors and there are so many more.

I just find it absolutely laughable that there is very little to no attempt to create unique stories and worlds featuring black male and female leads.
The amount of race swapping material is beyond insane. There's clearly an agenda here.
maybe theres just little to no attempt to create unique stories and worlds period.
I'm sure if we found some they too would have the "inclusive" characters
💯%
shareWhy black listed?
Why not white listed?
But I agree.
They could have made this without dragging Holmes into it.
In fact they did.
It was called Rosewood starring the same actor: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt4465472/?ref_=ext_shr_lnk
He was a brilliant medical examiner solving crimes and it was pretty good.
Because being blacklisted means they can never work again, anywhere. On the other hand, being White-listed means only they get to work — and no one else. For the last 10 years, the Wokes have been White-listed, shutting everyone else out. Now, it’s payback time. It's time to bring everyone else back to work, back to making great stories, while the Wokes get blacklisted and are never allowed to work in the industry again. We should also tattoo a scarlet letter on their heads, so they can be shamed and ridiculed wherever they go.
shareSee, now that, I could buy — Rosewood, I mean. A black guy being a pathologist, while not super common, is believable. But a Watson-level medical genius with no rival? No, that’s ridiculous
