i so hope they realize that they aren't tied to Fox's demands from season one at all, especially at this point in the show
Elementary has moved into that veteran show presence where it's just about racking up syndication episodes that CBS can stick into the schedule after they cancel everything and make big bucks off of. And while they still stick to the case of the week, they've made the rest of the show entirely about the ever evolving relationships of the characters that it's probably not comprehensible to "pop-in" viewers.
Lucifer had basically reached that point already, especially with the mythology stuff, and now they don't have to stick to case of the week, so hopefully they dump it aside from here and there, with the cases being able to go two-three episodes now.
Definitely not saying it should become a season = an act show like
Mr. Robot but just that, it's always been the weakest part of the show except when it's a sort of comedy or character focused B plot with most of the episode focusing on the myth-arc.
It's amusingly the show I'm most looking forward to, simply because I want to see how they deal with the reveal to Chloe and how it impacts the show. Really,
Always Sunny is arguably the only other show coming back that's potentially doing a drastic change to the format. Despite dumping half the cast in such a public manner and crapping all over to fit it into the finales,
Suits refashioning is less so to me than the others because I imagine it actually makes the show better and about legaling again rather than Mike/relationship drama. Most everything else coming back isn't really overhauling the show potentially.
