-
Watson uses both time-tested characters and a familiar model, but the show itself never seems tired or overly familiar.
-
“Watson” has all the hallmarks of a CBS procedural. The network has a taste and a talent for a kind of light serious entertainment in which a likable cast of sometimes difficult characters solve a problem in an hour, while other, darker events percolate underneath.
-
As a free-standing medical mystery series, it has promise. There is quite a bit of nonsense at the outset. .... But for all the tortured setup, the cases addressed by Watson and his team of upstart fellows at the freshly minted Holmes Institute are off the charts, so to speak.
