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 one of the best series on TV. Elementary should be renewed…PLEASE
It should have been renewed. However, they did leave the plot open for movies or even an occasional mini-series.
The series elementary definitely should have been renewed. It’s a great show. 🙁
It should have been renewed. Very disappointed.
another network needs to pick this show up. great show
I’m a lifelong Sherlock fan and enjoyed the show immensely. Would love to see it continue.
The show needs to continue! Great plots and twists.
I loved this show ,it certainly shouldn’t have been ended
Don’t end it!!!
My husband and I loved this show. We definitely do not think it should be cancelled.
Why would you cancel such an outstanding and well written show!
I will really miss that show. I really thought it was the Best! My highlight of the week was watching it!
Elementary is an excellent show. If not renewed, then we will be very sad.
This is probably my favorite tv show – fast, clever, interesting…not the usual ugly reality stuff. I guess I am just out of the target group. Great last episode though…it seemed like they stuffed all the ideas for another season into one episode and made it 4 years long…amazing…at least they are both alive so there is a chance it could come back!
I was glad the stories lines were wrapped up, a positive potential outcome left. I think most of the stories have been told. This was a thoughtful, well-acted series. The show runners and actors seem to have the right idea to go out on a strong series. I wouldn’t mind a revisit as a special episode/TV movie to see Holmes & Watson solve a case with Bell. But on the whole, ending the series on a high note was wise.
