"I only managed to make it through the pilot episode. I enjoyed Morris Chestnut's performance as expected. However, I don't plan on watching any more. The characters are thin and casting Randall Park as Prof. Morariy was a massive misstep."

"Now waiting for episode 5 of Watson on Paramount +, I can’t help but notice the House vibes as both shows feature brilliant doctors tackling wild medical mysteries with a team of quirky specialists.
Morris Chestnut’s Dr. John Watson has that deductive genius flair, much like Hugh Laurie’s Gregory House, except Watson’s way nicer and less pill-popping.
The Sherlock Holmes inspiration is obvious in both as House borrows the detective vibe, while Watson literally takes the iconic sidekick and puts him in a Pittsburgh clinic post-Reichenbach.
Even the team dynamics feel familiar young docs, rare cases, and a dash of personal drama.
This show is definitely binge-worthy, and I would say that if you're a fan of House, this show is definitely going to be a favorite for you.
