      Audience Reviews for Elementary: Season 1

      • 3d ago
        Funnily enough it's actually the better sherlock show, even if it drags a bit by the end of the series
      • Mar 23, 2023
        Essa série foi bem adaptada; além que é fantástica em toda os aspectos. Brilhante quem criou essa série com todos os detalhes de crimes a serem investigados pela "ciência da dedução".
      • Dec 12, 2022
        The first season was great, second season started good. I really like Lucy Liu as Watson, good pairing. However, Season 3 is has some plots that are out in left field, weird subjects (time dilation, public pharmaceutical tests, etc.), really convoluted plots that are laughable, unrealistic, etc. I know Sherlock and company are supposed to solve difficult crimes but the writers for this show need to come up with realistic plots. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle did it better.
      • Nov 22, 2022
        Probably the best series ive ever watched. Incredible take on Sherlock Holmes in the 21st century.
      • Jul 16, 2021
        I didn't know what to expect and was a bit unsure of the quality of the modern Sherlock Holmes story but was very surprised how good the show is. Was hooked from the first episode.
      • Apr 13, 2020
        Great show, very entertaining.
      • Dec 28, 2019
        Where is the story? Sherlock Holmes deciphers clues and solves crimes through his amazing deductive reasoning, and unfathomable knowledge. He doesn't just pull answers out of a hat like a magician, which is what seems to happen in this TV series. The plot is pathetic and trivializes the main character. The acting is fake and plastic because of the pathetic script, like much of what passes as good TV these days. I'm amazed this got such good reviews. I would give it a better review if it was listed as a parody or comedy, but the writers of this series are not even fit to tie the shoe laces of Arthur Conan Doyle.
      • Dec 22, 2019
        this an average show not that great
      • Dec 20, 2019
        Something new and fresh by 2012 standards.
      • Aug 09, 2019
        I loved this show. It took me a while to start watching though, because I don't like procedurals and I thought the premise of the show was very silly (I still do, to be honest, I mean, Holmes in modern day New York...). And yet, it works really well. The writing and the acting are very good. The show is smart but also often moving and funny. What I like most are the character interactions and the themes evoked (which are often thought provoking). Honestly, to me, this is a completely unexpected but thorough success. Edit: the only real flaw this show has (and it's a big one) is that it glosses over how terrible the NYPD is as a police force. Despite itself, the show does qualify (to a degree) as copaganda. So watch its depiction of policing in New York with a (very) critical eye.
