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 have looked forward to each episode of this show. I especially enjoyed the recent season finale of the series, (September, 2018) I look forward to their new adventures in London. In my opinion, this series definitely should continue…great stories, so well performed.
It is a very interesting show and the chemistry between the characters is fantastic! Time to see how Sherlock and Joan operate in London. Renew it!
LOVE Elementary and all main characters–always a deeper positive message at end of show–really happy Joan relocated to London with Sherlock after he clearly stated they were two people who were more than friends–they were two people who loved each other.
I really like this show. They keep coming up with surprises, because Sherlock is such an original person. Just his character makes the show interesting even without props or story lines. The writing and acting are excellent, although, I wish Joan smiled more. She is too sober.
This is the only weekly show I watch on the major networks. Don’t cancel this very interesting shoe!
I love this show. I look forward to seeing it continue!
This show is awesome. One of the few I look forward too. I have to DVR it too because my life is too hectic to watch it right away. But I would miss it. I’m looking forward to the show set in London.
I love this show . Jonny is brilliant!
i feel the writting this season was it’s best.
i’m so happy there will be a season 7.
Thank you.
I love this show, I don’t want it to end!
This is one of the best shows on television. It is intelligent, interesting, funny and suspenseful.
The show is a quality updating of the Conan-Doyle classic with great writing and plot lines. The Characters are well defined and believable. A superb show, one, that I hope continues for many more years, as its one of the only shows on TV that I truly look forward to watching.
Why is it when a quality show is on the air they cancel it to make room for another show that will suck and be off the air in 1 or 2 seasons? CBS, do yourself a favor and renew the good shows like Elementary and dump the junk…….
This is a quality crime drama series. The plots are believable, complex, and entertaining; and the acting is superb. I am looking forward to many more seasons.
This series finale was excellent. My wife and I dvr this and enjoy watching it on the weekend. We believe the series can enjoy much success set in England. Thanks to CBS… please continue this story and get rid of all the crappy reality shows. You’re better than that.
This season finale was remarkably good. My wife and I dvr this series and look forward to watching it every weekend. I think the series could continue with great success in England. Thanks to CBS for providing this series…please get rid of all crappy reality shows.
