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. Rob Doherty, Sarah Timberman, Carl Beverly and Michael Cuesta, who directed the pilot, are executive producers for CBS Television Studios.




Don't miss Elementary when it starts this fall, on Thursdays at 10 p.m. ET/PT on CBS.

When i heard they were doing this show i was like OK we'll see what happens, then i heard it would be in modern times New York with Jonny Lee Miller as Sherlock & i was like this could be interesting, then I heard Lucy Liu would be playing Dr. Jane Watson aka Dr. John Watson and i rolled my eyes, and then i saw the trailer and was pleasantly surprised that Johnny Lee Miller went full schizo...

Cumberbatch´s Sherlock is gonna be better.
BUT... None Sherlock adaptation cant win The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes from 1984 to 1994 with Jeremy Brett as Sherlock.

This won't last a whole season

So Watson is a woman, never a soldier, and is a surgeon instead? How is that the character of Watson anymore?

Also, I saw Frankenstein with Benedict and Jonny Lee Miller this week. Wonder if this was a talking point in rehearsals.
