The SpoilerTV Favourite TV Series Competition 2018 - Day 13 - Sherlock vs. Elementary & The Flash vs. The Good Doctor
30 Aug 2018
2018 TV Series Competition Elementary Sherlock The Flash The Good DoctorSometimes the random draw throws out some wonderful ties. Sherlock came in as the eighth-most nominated current series, a surprising result that meant this poll was statistically more likely to happen. But it's impressive that it has happened. We're guaranteed to have a Sherlock Holmes in the second round — but will it be Benedict Cumberbatch or Jonny Lee Miller? Sherlock's success in nominations isn't completely out of the blue, given that it made round three in each of its last two appearances. But it hasn't made the last 64 for the past two years, which is what makes it so strange, especially since the show hasn't aired since last January. Elementary, meanwhile, makes its first appearance since 2013, the first year it existed to enter the competition. The move to summer Mondays hasn't helped its ratings, but has helped it here.
The Flash lived up to its name last year: it was quick to exit the competition. A 48th-place finish may be a harsh judgement, given that it was defeated by Supernatural, and it reached round three the previous year. Still, it has some work to do this time around. The Good Doctor is one of a number of debutants, but one of precious few to be doing so at the first attempt. ABC's Freddie Highmore-starring medical drama has been well-received over the last year, so it will be interesting to see how it fares today.
