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’ve already said that elementary should have a season 7 & my reasons for it. I hope that the shows directors and producers have actually read the reasons why.not just my reasons but others as well. What I’m interested in is how you actually come up with the ratings. Not everyone watches the show while it is airing but instead watch it through a CBS app which is available, or set it to record on the different devices that are out there through different cable companies and their devices ect.. so how do you know what the real ratings are.… Read more »
I really loved watching this show! It was one of the few police/detective type shows I waited for each season! Couldn’t they at least continue on in London? Or find a way to come back and clear Sherlock’s name?
I really enjoy this show it great
I love this show. One of the few that I watch.
This is one show I always look forward to. It was a great disappointment that it was not listed to be shown on October 1st. I almost had withdrawal symptoms. If the production company moved to London, all the better. London is a great city as a background for more Holmes and Watson adventures.
Love Elementary! For me it’s a great hr of my viewing. True it has deferred from the original but keeps the best parts of the story alive & fresh I always look fwd to more smart witty detective work from this enjoyable cast
I really enjoyed this show and the last episode in September 2018. I hope it’s not the finale. I think they have a lot of story lines since Sherlock has declared his love for Joan. Also, they are in London, a wonderful place to explore and solve crimes maybe with MI6. If you want any ideas please let me know. I sincerely hope I haven’t seen the last of these characters. I think they are just getting started. Thanks.
I have been a big fan of elementary even though it’s different in several ways of a Sherlock Holmes show. One that Watson is a female ( named my medical dog Watson yet everyone calls her a boy despite the pink camouflage collar-who was given to me as a gift from a star who has played Sherlock Holmes) knowing that I’m not only a fan but when I worked in the field I did on & off since I was 18 years old, but one of my nicknames was Ms. Holmes.The other shows or movies take place in London. And… Read more »
Love this show, please do not cancel. When will season 7 start?
This is a show I look forward to seeing each week. Now they are in England it no doubt will get the international flavor and the MI6 touch. Cannot wait for the next 5 seasons 🙂
I look forward to each weeks show. I love this genre of t.v. Please, do not cancel the show.
Along with Salvation, was only Monday night tv watched. Interesting seeing it going back to London, but if it stays there, …..I don’t know.
Love the show! My wife and I are loyal viewers. Curious to see how they pick up in London.
love it!
Please continue it – we enjoy the show so much – intelligent dialogue, great plots and I like to see Lucy’s stylish clothes.
