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?
Great show. Please renew.
Great show! The actors are perfect and the storylines are very good. Only two problems. 1. The British accent is difficult to understand when he speaks too fast and slurs his words together. 2. The volume of speech should be higher and sound effects lower. Holmes speaks too low. With the difficulty of the accent and the low volume of his speech we miss some of the great lines I’m sure he has. This last problem is found with most shows and movies. Be the first to fix this! We look forward for the show every week!
Best show ever. Love Lucy and Jonny
Like the show Lucy Liu as Dr. Watson is a nice change to original character. Johnny Lee Miller as Sherlock is not a good change. He speech is a little hard to understand, especially for older folks ( I’m 70) like me. His unshaven, sloppy and disheveled appearance doesn’t help his Sherlock Holmes character. Prefer the old mentally sharpe Sherlock.
Big fan of this show, Johnny Lee Miller and Lucy Liu make a great detective team and just the right mix of back and forth between them. I hope this show has a long run as is an excellent show.
I LOVE this show! Have always been a fan of Sherlock Holmes – Jonny Lee Miller & Lucy Lieu, not to mention Aidan Quinn, are perfect! This show MUST go on. I could watch it every day. Please keep it going!
I really like watching this series. I have liked Sherlock Holmes in other series in the past. I hope this series goes on for a number of years and also hope the actors are having fun with their parts. Good luck to Sherlock and Watson
The show MUST go on! I love this show. It’s clever, funny, and Jonny Lee Miller is brilliant! Not too mention very good looking!
Love the team of Johnny Lee Miller and Lucy Liu. The show is extremely clever. Brilliant really! A great take on the traditional Sherlock Holmes. Must renew for 2014 season!
This happens to be one of the better shows left on CBS this season AND SHOULD CONTINUE….MOM AND THE REST ARE SADLY AMATUER EXCURSIONS INTO ENTERTAINMENT ATTEMPTS EVEN WITH *NAME* STARS…..MOURNING THE LOSS OF LAST YRS LINEUP……ELEMENTARY SHOULD CONTINUE…..
Lucyliu and Johnny lee Miller brilliant as sherlock and watson elementary season one and two are brilliant best show ever
I think this is the best show ever before elementary is fantastic and brilliant it will be a shame for it to be cancelled ihope they’ve are more season then two
Please make more episodes, REALY like the show,and it is so nice to hear English spoken properly for a change !!!!!!!
This is a great show. No profanity, or gruesome sense. Should continue on for many years. Do not wish this to be cancelled.
Finally a show with no profanity or hypersexed characters. Finally a show that demonstrates deductive reasoning and is suitable for the teenage market. The show is an excellent learning tool and shows how a male and female can be friends and coworkers without jumping into bed. It is the only show of its kind on TV. Please keep it on the air so young adults can see a relationship based on respect and intelligence between two people rather than the run of the mill glib, glamour, sexy diatribe usually served to the public.
