Calm your wall of rage, sugartits, I'm not a huge Elementary stan. I find both shows decent fun, but acting like it hasn't gotten several elements better than Sherlock is a losing argument. Neither treatment of Irene Adler was great, but I personally would prefer "the character is dead we're not using her at all" to "LESBIAN DOMINATRIX WHO TAKES MALE CLIENTS AND IS IN TRUE LOVE WITH SHERLOCK." And I appreciate that Elementary didn't do an entire racist episode, that it doesn't pull ~ooh people think we're gay crap, and that it actually had a great portrayal of a trans* character. So, yes, it is in fact more progressive.
