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.

My husband and I love the show, please don’t get rid of it…..
Just want to say I am so glad I found this site and reading every ones comments. I agree with my whole heart with the comments in favor of this show, it is great. Please keep it going.
please do not cancel the show!!!!! I love it . Please do not cancel the show. It is one of the better ones on television.
Best show on TV! My husband and I tape it to watch repeatedly, and we buy all the DVDs. It is better to watch quality repeatedly, than to watch the lame trash that most TV programs have become even once. We want Elementary to go on Forever!
Smart, well written, excellent acting, outstanding character development, educational and an accurate portrayal of the human condition….the struggle to survive and excel when you are “atypical”. Sherlock Holmes – a character so relevant and engaging that we celebrate each rendition that has woven such a rich fabric for this beloved icon. If Sherlock and Joan have run their course with CBS, please do not leave us with the threat the he will lose his mind. What a bombshell to drop at the last minute and then fade to black.
Terrific show with Sherlock, Watson and the two NYPD cops. It really bogged down when Sherlock’s brother was featured and then again when his father was. Almost as if the writer’s can’t get that part right. Hope to see it again next season because there is so little worth watching these days.
Johnny Lee Miller is brilliant as the irascible detective a female Watson is par for the course of our PC and SJWs, do not fear I am analyzing not bigoted. I love Lucy Liu in this role and almost the entirety of the main cast they all collaborate to bring a certain realism to this realm of fiction that goes back many generations.
It is AWESOME! I love Sherlock’s quirkiness & matter of factness.
I love this show!
Beyond good. Dormer as Moriarity was a stoke of genius. and she’s hot. The obvious ongoing battle between her and Watson is really going to be edge of the seat exciting. And going to force Sherlock to “choose”.
love the show and deserves to stay on the air
i tape it and watch it over and over, please don’t cancel it.

The writing is honest, no “false” or shoddy surprises here; everything possible, no over the top explanations or circumstances; subtle comedy and characters so real! Please don’t cancel a show that deserves far more kudos than given. Why is CBS so negligent in its advertising and praise of the show?
this show is one of the best on TV – please return with another season (and Natalie Dormer)
