Wasn't The Age a good newspaper, once upon a time?
"Holmes' relationship with Watson would no longer be that of mentor to mule, but a modern bromance; they would, moreover, be men who could look after themselves in a stoush."
I'm sorry, what? Has that reviewer actually read any Sherlock Holmes stories, or just watched the TV and film adaptations? Holmes and Watson are the Original Bromance in my mind. Also serious arse-kickers and, in Watson's case, a former soldier.
You know all this, I know. I just need to vent. :)
