Exploring the Dynamic Relationship Between Dr. Watson and Sherlock Holmes

What did Dr. Watson say about Sherlock Holmes?

Answer: There are no police like Holmes

Explanation: Dr. Watson is essential to the Sherlock Holmes stories for several reasons. Firstly, he serves as a patient companion to Holmes, whose brilliant but eccentric personality may be off-putting to some. Watson enjoys the challenge of solving crimes and is almost always by Sherlock's side as his flat mate.

Most importantly, Dr. Watson, as the narrator, provides detailed written accounts of Sherlock's adventures for readers to enjoy. However, Watson lacks the skills that Holmes possesses and often questions Holmes about how he arrives at his brilliant deductions. This serves as a perfect storytelling device for Sir Arthur Conan Doyle; Sherlock must always explain his discoveries to Watson, thereby explaining them to the reader.
