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?
Never miss an episode! This is one of a few shows I actually look forward too each week! Do not cancel!
Great show. Season 2 was rough. The writers and producers are so determined to keep Sherlock and Watson from becoming romantically involved, they resorted to having them fight.
This season is so much better. It is well written and everyone is friendly again.
I like Kitty, but the show is about Sherlock and Joan and their interaction. Hopefully the war is over.
Love it
Finally a good villian is back on the show worth cheering for. Hopefully more are coming.
Bring Kitty back. She gave the show some humanity that was seriously lacking and she contributed to seeing clues no one else saw. Okay, she is pretty too.
I love the show and was sorry to see Kitty leave. I thought her rough character was something the show needed. Let’s face it, sometimes the bad guys have to take a beaten
Ok so Kitty isn’t dead but the show has established that there is a need for Holmes and Watson to be working together. Not romantic but together. Kitty is off the show but I can see her showing up in another episode as a stand in to help with something. That being said I Need to SAY they need to stop the CHARACTER BUILDING. We know Holmes was addicted to drugs. We know Watson was a doctor and is the reason Holmes is not addicted to drugs. What I want is some smart bad guys that think out of the… Read more »
Great show, keep it going!
Love this s how, stay up to watch, love the chemistry!
#Loveit! Keep it going!
Yes, the show is good. Only complaint I have is that Sherlock needs to slow down
his speech so we can understand what he is saying, at times. He just talks too fast. The writers need to break up his dialogues to make them more understandable to us.
Used to like the show. What’s up with Kitty?? Hate her. Kitty and Watson moving out of his house killed it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Can’t watch anymore.
I think it should be renewed. I really like it. I am 70 y/o. 🙂
Fantastic series. I love every bit of it except Kitty. Don’t really know what she’s doing therebut otherwise, I love it. Lucy Liu and Johnny Lee Miller ROCKS that show. Pls don’t cancel!!!
ELEMENTARY IS A GREAT SHOW. I HAVE ONLY SEEN SEASON 1 AND SEASON 2, BUT IT HAS BEEN WORTH WATCHING. I OWN BOTH DVD SETS AND WATCH THEM AGAIN AND AGAIN. SEASON ONE IS BETTER THAN TWO BUT THE SHOW IS STILL GREAT. I THINK THE WRITERS ARE TRYING TO SPICE UP THE SHOW TO MUCH. BRING NEW PEOPLE INTO THE SHOW SHOULD BE DONE FROM TIME TO TIME, BUT THE SHOW IS WORKING. NEVER TRY TO REPLACE THE PEOPLE THAT STARTED IT. MOVIES DO THAT AND THEY ALWAYS FLOP. HOLMES AND WATSON SHOULD ALWAYS BE ON THE EDGE OF… Read more »
Show has been great! Every episode I am blown away by the creative structure and paths it takes me. I would love to be apart of there team writing thinking about what some bad person is going to do next. My only question is why not have a bad guy get away instead of always getting caught?
Thanks

Johny Lee Miller and Lucy Liu developed into a great charasmatic couple that has been destroyed by bad writing the last part of last season and this year is just horrendous. This young woman playing Kitty is OK but to me moving Watson out of the Brownstone was not a great idea. Love the actors Miller and Liu. Liu is easy on the eyes and a great calming effect when watching but now who cares. If the show goes I am going to miss the characters and Lius legs.
I love this series. Would like to see less of Kitty and have Sherlock working with Watson as before. Pls don’t cancel! !!
I LOVE THE PROGRAM WITH JOHNY LEE MILLER AND LUCY LIU.
WHEN THEY WORK TOGETHER IS A PLEASURE TO WATCH , BUT THE
KITTY CHARACTER, TO ME HAS RUINED THE PROGRAM.
PLEASE BRING MILLER AND LIU TOGETHER AGAIN!!!!
Be careful. For some reason I see kitty getting killed at the end of this season. The reason for the character was to have a wedge between a Holmes and Watson romance. The show is about solving crazy crime that we would never see in real life or the news. I think kitty is a good character. They shou use her more as a common sense ******* rather than a train ing person.
Good show
Philip
I agree with Frank, except for the horrendous part. I definitely DO NOT care for Kitty. Whoever made the decision to make these changes should be horse-whipped. Lucy Liu and Miller made a good pair, even if there was no romanticism involved. The writers get them back together & get rid of Kitty. I’m 70 y/o, & I stand by this. 🙂
Why has Lucy Liu character been not being utilized this year? I miss her character and the actress Lucy Liu. One of the main reasons I watch the show. I would like an answer if anyone knows.
Oh she’s been there but in a different relationship with Sherlock, which is diappointing because I enjoyed the chemistry between Jonny Lee Miller and Lucy Liu the way it was but that’s not to say they can’t turn it around because of Kitty. Sherlock seems to be trying to emulate his relationship with Watson thru Kitty but it’s not really working for him. Kitty is learning and healing but Sherlock’s denial of his feelings for Watson are still obvious. Keep the show going, sometimes Holmes and Watson didn’t get a long in some of the stories by Doyle anyway.
Noooo, pls do not cancel…
I enjoy the show, but do not like Kitty. Aside from taking away from Joan’s role her accent is very difficult to understand. I think the ratings will fall unless they return to the original format with just Joan and Sherlock
Don’t like Kitty. Want Watson back with Sherlock. They make the perfect team.
I really like elementary, but do not like the new girl kitty. This season has started off not so good. Don’t want it to cancel, but if it continues as is then no hope.
