TV show description:
This TV series gives a new take on the classic Arthur Conan Doyle characters. It’s a modern-day drama about a crime-solving duo that cracks the NYPD’s most impossible cases.
Following his fall from grace in London and a stint in rehab, eccentric detective Sherlock Holmes (Jonny Lee Miller) escapes to Manhattan where his wealthy father forces him to live with his worst nightmare — a sober companion, Doctor Joan Watson (Lucy Liu). She was a successful surgeon until she lost a patient and her license three years ago.
Watson views her current job as another opportunity to help people, as well as paying a penance. However, the restless Sherlock is nothing like her previous clients. He informs her that none of her expertise as an addiction specialist applies to him and he’s devised his own post-rehab regimen — resuming his work as a police consultant in New York City.
Watson finds she has no choice but to accompany her irascible new charge on his jobs. In the end, Sherlock finds her medical background helpful, and Watson realizes she has a knack for playing investigator.
Sherlock’s police contact is Captain Tobias “Toby” Gregson (Aidan Quinn). He knows, from previously working with Scotland Yard, that Sherlock is brilliant at closing cases, and welcomes him as part of the team.
Episode #154 — The Last Bow
Amidst Holmes and Watson’s battle with tech billionaire Odin Reichenbach, the investigators receive word of their old enemy and Sherlock’s former love, Jamie Moriarty.
First aired: August 15, 2019.
What do you think? Do you like the Elementary TV series on CBS? Do you think it should have ended or been renewed for season eight?
I so agree with all the people describe this as intelligent!! They are so DAMN right!! I too sadly assume it will get lost before long as the majority of this continent’s tv watchers appear to prefer brain garbage. So sad.
Please save Elementary, o -mighty-powers-that-be!!
lease Renew! Elementary is a TV show both my husband and I enjoy! It’s intelligent and enjoyable. I totally agree with the comments of Cormac Conahan
Renewed!
It is sad to say that I had not heard of Elementary until this past December 2015.
However, since watching one episode of season 4 I have become quite the fanatic. Taking every opportunity to tell friends, neighbor’s and coworkers about this amazing show.
unfortunately many times I can’t watch t.v because of my work schedule so I miss watching some episodes, but Thank God for DVRs. Going to buy the dvd box set as soon as possible, got really upset because I could not find them in the store.
Great show! I look forward to watching it every week. The Sherlock character is great as the show portrays him in his brilliance and his flaws…which are numerous. The interaction between he and Watson is superb as her abilities are being honed and strengthened. While not as brilliant as he is, she makes up the more compassionate, human side where he is lacking…but learning because of her. Absolutely fabulous. I’m sure you’ll cancel it at any time as the good ones seem to disappear quickly. However, I sure hope not!
I watched a past episode where one of the characters were talking about a suspect and they said: He is into violence and the Second Amendment. What a crock. Basically you said people who believe in the Second Amendment are violent criminals. So in your notes you state you will delete “hate” speech, so you are also saying people who believe in the First Amendment spew hate speech. You should be ashamed and I know you won’t do this but apologize to those of us law abiding citizens who believe in the Bill of Rights.
I absolutely love this show. Johnny Lee Miller is the best actor we could ever ask for as Holmes! Him and Lucy are both great. For the love of God do not cancel this show!!!!!!
Excellent show; don’t cancel. There are fewer and fewer intelligent shows from which to choose these days; fewer and fewer that aren’t violence for violence’s sake; and even fewer that don’t cater to the lowest common denominator with potty humor. Miller is a great actor; Liu is excellent as his on again, off again antagonist. While there have been a couple of episodes that were ‘off’, they were still an improvement over much TV fare.
Please don’t cancel this show I love this show.
Love this show. I watch it every time and channel it is on. PLEASE DO NOT CANCEL.
Absolutely terrific TV programming! PLEASE continue!! This is one of the few intelligent series that remains engaging season after season!
Couldn’t finish watching the latest episode. Seems everybody was married to everybody. Is this the latest far left liberal progressive thing.
Great show !! But against Thursday nite football no shows going to kill the rating’s.
great show ! but no shows are going to do great against Thursday night football !!!
Please do not even THINK of cancelling it!!! Is’ one of CBS’ best.
Meanwhile, GET RID OF FOOTBALL and put Elementary back! :o\
