So I've gotten through all the Lewis episodes except the 4 series 6 ones. can't put my fingers on them legally, and haven't had the time to sort of whether I can get them other ways. But they're being aired next month on PBS Sunday nights (hence the lack of ready availability), so if I have to wait I suppose I can.

Meanwhile I think I've read most of the Lewis fic on AO3, save those fics marked at explicitly s.6 post-eps. I try not to spoil myself if I can help it. But having read a lot of fic, its amazing how woobie'd Hathaway gets. Not all that surprising given fandoms tendency to do that. But at least there isn't much Dr. Hobson bashing. 

Also not surprisingly I have somewhat the same reaction I had to a lot of the Sherlock fic. I am fine reading the slash, but I really want fic that really looks at a complex friendship between two men. The fact that they work together and Lewis is Hathaway's boss... there's far too much handwaving in the fics about how this should just go away and be a non issue so we can skip to the naughty bits. 

Anyway ... it's all lovely and I've started a re-watch to keep me going till I can check off the last 4/24 episodes! LOL

If you have a way, ITV3 gives them irregularly and not in order, so you may find it... (that is a stupidity of both TF1 [French main private broadcaster] and ITV, they do not always broadcast episodes in the right order. It is annoying as hell!)

I love Lewis. I know there are quite a few episodes I haven't seen. I keep saying, oh yeah, I need to watch those, and I never seem to actually sit down and watch.
