does sherlock & co have shippy vibes? 🔎

This is a tricky question, anon! The writer, Joel Emery, was mainly inspired by the Guy Ritchie films and BBC Sherlock, so I would be surprised if it turned out not to have shippy vibes on that basis. But also, he's specifically said that he's aware that his podcast has three main audiences: Sherlockians, johnlockers, and the general public (who don't really know Holmes very well). The way he talks about it suggests (to me.) that he wants to leave room for people to ship them if they want. He's also mentioned that he plans for John stay in 221B for the run of the series, rather than marry and move out to open a medical practice, as in the stories. So, yknow, it's pretty easy to ship them with all this context.

But is the plan to have them become a couple? I have absolutely no idea. For my part, I plan to listen and appreciate the series for what it has to offer. It's entertaining, it foregrounds John and Sherlock's relationship (whatever that ends up being) and I like that Emery wants to adapt every story in the canon, which no one has done before. If you're interested in Sherlock Holmes, it's hard to imagine *not* listening to it, to be quite honest.
