Sherlock who? We're back in the bubble with CBS’s Watson, wrapping up our 3-episode trial with episodes 2 and 3. While things did improve after the pilot, we're still feeling a bit...elementary about it all. In this episode, we dust off the Bubble Scorecard, weigh the clues, and decide whether we’ll be following Dr. Watson into season 2—spoiler: probably not. But don’t let that stop you from investigating for yourself. Tune in for our final thoughts, a few surprises, and our honest, spoiler-free take on what Watson does right (and where it still misses the mark).

After three full episodes of medical drama, memory gaps, and side-eyes in the hallway, we’re wrapping up our 3-episode trial of Fox’s Doc! In this episode, Bianca and Wyetha return to the scene with their final thoughts on the show’s momentum, character development, and whether Doc is ready for long-term care, or if it’s time to pull the plug. We’re breaking out our Bubble Scorecard, serving diagnoses with a side of sass, and asking the big question: would you keep watching?
