As most Elementary fans know the show is now on break and has been renewed for a 5th season. For those of you who haven’t yet experienced the brilliance of Jonny Lee Miller and Lucy Liu here is a brief series overview of Elementary. If you like me are a Sherlock Holmes fan then its a must watch, I wasn’t sure at first with Watson being female, I mean if it’s not broke don’t fix it right? But this dynamic really works and the story lines always have an element of surprise, I stop watching shows if I know whats going to happen, I like my shows to keep me thinking and the story lines complex and Elementary definitely ticks those boxes for me, so when Season 5 of Elementary returns yours truly will keep you updated with a weekly episode review. Season 4 was a cracker so I’m very much looking forward to what season 5 brings with it.
Elementary Series Overview
Elementary follows Holmes (Jonny Lee Miller), who is a recovering drug addict and former consultant to Scotland Yard, as he now assists the New York City Police Department in solving crime. His indifference to police procedure often leads to conflict with Captain Thomas Gregson (Aidan Quinn), although the two still remain mutually respectful of one another. Holmes is accompanied by Dr. Joan Watson (Lucy Liu), is initially acts as his sober companion. Watson is a former surgeon and was hired by Sherlock’s father to help him in his rehabilitation, Holmes and Watson eventually begin to work together on his cases, Watson becomes Holmes’ apprentice.
Following his fall from grace in London and a stint in rehab, the eccentric modern Sherlock Holmes relocates to Manhattan, where his wealthy father forces him to live with a sober companion, Dr. Joan Watson. Watson formerly a successful surgeon untill she lost a patient, she views her current job as another opportunity to help people. However, Sherlock is nothing like her previous clients and informs her that none of her expertise as an addiction specialist applies to him and that he has 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 eccentric new client on his jobs.
Over time, Holmes finds Watson’s medical background helpful, and Watson realizes she actually has a talent with investigation. Holmes’ police contact, Captain Thomas Gregson, knows from previous experience working with Scotland Yard that Holmes is brilliant at solving cases, and welcomes him as part of the team. The investigative team also includes Detective Marcus Bell, an investigator with sharp intuition and intimidating interrogation skills, although initially skeptical of Holmes and his unorthodox methods, Bell begins to recognize Sherlock as an asset to their team.
Elementary features Holmes’ ongoing conflict with his nemesis Jamie Moriarty (Natalie Dormer) and constantly takes many turns, as with his strained relationship with his father. The show also features Detective Marcus Bell (Jon Michael Hill), Sherlock’s brother Mycroft Holmes (Rhys Ifans) and Sherlock’s father Morland Homes (John Noble).
I look forward to bringing you my thoughts and weekly review of Elementary so far no air dates yet but will keep you updated.
