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?
This is by far the best incarnation of The characters created by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. In addition to melding the classic characters with a modern venue, the show gives us an introspective to ourselves as we relate to the ever evolving relationships between characters. I sincerely hope that CBS realizes what a diamond they have and continue togive us, the viewers, the sleuthing adventures we enjoy so much.
One of the best shows ever! Great chemistry of the cast, it all works! Should not be canceled…no, no, no!
Best TV show ever. The writers and actors are superb. I am very pleased to hear that it will not be cancelled.
I am kind of addicted to Elementary! The move to England, will open up a lot of new story, but then again unless there is some great writing, will eliminate those left in the USA
Great show! The characters Sherlock and Joan you learn bits of new information from. All the cast are great actors in Elementary!
Great fabulous show!! Superb acting! Do not cancel! One of the best shows!!
Disappointed that Elementary was not broadcast last night. What’s going on?
DO NOT CANCEL – excellent show in ALL respects !!
I Love this show! It is one of the very few non-formulaic programs on TV. Elementary is very well written and acted. Please do not cancel it! (always get Holmes to speak more clearly)
I really like the show, my vote is not to be cancelled
My husband and I love Elementary and look forward to watching it each week. Most of the new series do not hold a candle to it. DO NOT CANCEL.
My husband and I love the show and hope it does not get cancelled. This year’s new shows do not hold a candle to Elementary.
to cancel this show will only serve to emphasize (reemphasize?) the idiocy of corporate mentality in the entertainment or TV worlds. as if we need more evidence. for the most part this has been one of the best written, best produced and best acted series in a long time, with immense respect for The Good Wife and a few others included. Now that Les is less, will CBS do the right thing?
I can only hope the show will be continued with the new London format. Can’t see why they would cancel a popular show like this one. With some of the shows I have been watching recently it makes even more sense to have this show return. It is much classier and holds your attention for the length of the show. The producers are on to a good thing, just hope they realize it.
I always look forward to this show every week. We are all fans that would be extremely disappointed if elementary would be canceled.
