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?
Please renew this show
Please renew elementary. Best show on tv.
Please keep Elementary on the air. Best show around. Intelligent and well written. Love the chemistry of the characters.
Very good show, consistent high quality. Hate to see it end.
Great show! Wish it did not end. I looked forward to it every week.
I LOVED this series! I can’t stand the thought of it being ended! There’s so much room in the finale. Is there ANY possible chance we can see more of Holmes and Watson? A 4 part mini? A movie? Once a year? PLEASE?
Elementary is the only US show that has any class.
The childish adaptations of UK/Scandie shows are completely ruined by extra via;ence & pseudo sex introduced cover up clueless/incompetent writers.
Original US shows are down at the LCD level ie big guns/trucks/egos/boobs/violence
Dump Lui & her stupid shoes & clothes & expand previous female characters, her sister, Moriaty, Kitty
If this one dies there is nothing left with any serious credibility.
Truly enjoyed the show, liked all the actors. Good character development. Hope to see another tv show with such talent. Good stories.
The best TV show ever. I hope it is not the end
Should have renewed for Season 8. I enjoyed relationship between Holmes and Watson
I’m so bummed to see the show come to an end.. As i was watching the last episode, and noticed the “3 Years Later” transition, i felt my stomach just drop!!! Especially after showing Joan’s child!!, knew it then, this must be the series finale episode,.. the signs screaming… and the story development and wrap up of such extended time periods in just that single episode runtime, ran the emotions through a roller coaster!! Never has there even been an episode with time periods of that scale. But hats of to the writers still, as they wrapped it up well… Read more »
Totally agree ~ the writers obviously had to condense the story because of the boardroom decision to cancel. This was so horrid to witness what they had to do, but also commendable in the twist they created with Watson’s illness and Moriaty’s fake funeral. Cpt Gregson’s hug was as lovely as Holmes’ and Watson’s ~ these characters (and sterling actors, writers and crew) have been bringing us outstanding entertainment for years. There is still so much that can implemented in character growth, humour, wit ~ and why not include flashbacks to Sherlock’s international adventures, or further the deep love that… Read more »
I watched the show from the beginning and always enjoyed it. Hate to see it go!

There is no way you can end elementary like that ! This show is one of the best on T.V.. You guys left it open for a reason, there’s more to come. Please don’t cancel it. Most of the new programming is tough to watch. More, More, More.
It is sad that a show like this goes while the deluge of crap reality shows goes on and on. No wonder Netflix is doing so well if this is the direction of the legacy networks!
I truly enjoyed this show, don’t understand why it was cancelled. Also, the season finale made no sense, the show needed another season to end it.
Loved this show. Great characters and plot development. I don’t understand why it ended so abruptly. I think They left room for another season. Even another series with these actors (characters).
