Elementary Premiered on CBS on September 27, 2012

ELEMENTARY stars Jonny Lee Miller as detective Sherlock Holmes and Lucy Liu as Dr. Joan Watson in 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 Sherlock escapes to Manhattan where his wealthy father forces him to live with his worst nightmare - a sober companion, Dr. Watson. 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 has no choice but to accompany her irascible new charge on his jobs. But Sherlock finds her medical background helpful, and Watson realizes she has a knack for playing investigator. Sherlock's police contact, Capt. Tobias "Toby" Gregson (Aidan Quinn), knows from previous experience working with Scotland Yard that Sherlock is brilliant at closing cases, and welcomes him as part of the team. With the mischievous Sherlock Holmes now running free in New York solving crimes, it's simple deduction that he's going to need someone to keep him grounded, and it's elementary that it's a job for Watson.

Ok i really wanted to hate this series but for some reason this show reminds me of The Mentalist for some reason the only difference different actors but the UK one is better because better writing and mystery. It wasn't a bad episode but i did find it amusing how he managed to sneak into her apartment to take the batteries out of her alarm clocks. The case was ok it wasn't a complicated case. This has potential but my opinion is that it's quite similar to the mentalist.

codebreaker

The husband not knowing about the safe room was bizarre but him being the killer would of been to easy and Sherlock might of been a jerk interviewing the other victim but she was obviously not telling the whole truth, going to the opera to get Joan was amusing and her solving the case was great

bala

I think it was rather obvious that the teenager was responsible but the fact that he manipulate the kidnapper was rather impressive and getting that deal he almost got away with it but Sherlock figured out how to get him with the details

codebreaker

The neighbour stealing from his dead neighbours apartment before calling the police was cold and what a great alibi getting the doctor to put her in what looked like a coma

codebreaker

Adam's immunity deal was impressive and killing one on his own was a great way to get him but only one was unfortunate

bala

Well at first i thought it was Watson female doctor friend who was doing angel of death but the janitor was my second suspect as the other doctor would too obvious suspect but him using it hide his mistake was interesting and to think they would got away with it if Holmes wasn't fooling around in hospital morgue

kellemanske

I agree, I thought it was the friend as well, but when the janitor and holmes were in the elevator, I started to suspect him as well.
I'm actually really liking this series. It's well constructed.

bala

Well look like Watson uncovered some Holmes past unintentionally

codebreaker

What a way for a secretary to clime the corporate ladder by killing her bosses competitor so when he moved up the ladder so did she but getting himself abducted was interesting

codebreaker

What a fluke Holmes was in the morgue when he spotted the suspicious death and the janitor getting his revenge in the lift by pushing the buttons was amusing, Carrie refusing to listen to Watson about the girl could of been fatal but the outcome of both cases was great

codebreaker

Sherlock's imposter father asking Watson about the sex was amusing but he was right all along about his father not turning up and planting the wrench in the garage was clever but there was no way anyone one the run would leave that amount of money behind and all those deaths just to cover up drug smuggling was sad

codebreaker

As soon as Sherlock received the text I know he was going to leave Watson behind and Watson visiting his old rehab center in order to learn more about him was interesting but I didn't expect him to shred the letters, Crewes waiting 13 years to get his son to do the murders using the same M.O. as the series of murders that took place back then was clever

bala

Well yes that was clever but you would think that his father being in prison would give him second thoughts about committing the crimes ?. He saw what it's like in jail since he voluntary.

On a sidenote Watson trying figure out Holmes past is a bit strange consider Watson character is suppose be his best friend but this is the problem cast female Watson

bala

Well ok episode i really hope he become new sponsor for Holmes because he look much better in the role.

bala

Well Holmes under the weather still manages to solve the case thanks to Watson herbal tea

codebreaker

The explosion that kills two people was interesting as it was designed to go off in 2008 but what a freak accident miss-dialling the pager on the bomb and Heather being the killer after seeing the video made sense

codebreaker

Sherlock solving the case while ill was interesting as the victim was the one who arranged his murder and framing the others which was impressive

codebreaker

Who would of thought some of the jury members on the original supposedly uncrackable bank vault robbery would use what they discovered to do it themselves

codebreaker

Sherlock taking Joan call girl spotting at the hotel was interesting and Joan taking her number afterwards was amusing and the daughter finding out both her parents were spy's would come as a shock and being caught by invisible ink was great
