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 love this show and hope it continues!
Me and my husband love this show. CBS screwed it up when they placed it in a timeslot that kept getting messed with by sports delays. Why should an awesome.e show be canceled because of CBSs’ stupidity.
Love the show. Hope they can keep it on tv
Love this show. NCIS and Elementary are great shows you can count on. It is a shame it is going to be canceled
I love this show and I feel it has potential for another season.
I love This show. Please do not cancel it! I love to read, but this show I am able to watch with out getting my books.
I don’t follow Elementary but am curious as to why Lucy Liu became a blonde. She is much better looking in her original hair color.
I do follow the show and I love it. I think she changed her hair color because she was unhappy living in London. I agree with you on the hair color.
My husband and I love this show. Please do not cancel!!!We did not find the show until 2 years ago. We loved it so much that we ordered the first 5 seasons disc so we can watch them over and over.
I love this show. I think it should stay on TV
This is one of the best shows on TV. Well done and stars are great. Would hate to see it off the air. There is so much garbage on TV. Why cancel Elementary?
Continue Elementary TV show
This is one of the best TV shows on, and I can not believe they are ending it this year. There are so many different ways they could go with the story line and keep it fresh. Sad to see it go.
I LOVE THE WRITING AND CHARACTERS. I HOPE IT FINDS NEW LIFE.
Quality show, wonderful characters, always enjoyable. If the actors got tired of it, I can understand because people of that quality have many offers, I am sure; but it’s a great loss to the audience members who enjoy intelligent programming.
Moving the series to London was a great idea. Wish they would continue it for a few more seasons.
