This take on Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's classic character has Sherlock Holmes fleeing London for present-day Manhattan after a stint in rehab. He arrives to find that his father has assigned a sober companion to live with him -- Dr. Joan Watson, a former surgeon who gave up medicine three years earlier after she lost a patient. Her life now centers around helping addicts stay clean. However, Holmes has his own plan for keeping on the straight and narrow, throwing himself into his work as a police consultant in New York City. The two find that they make a good team and are soon cracking some of the NYPD's most-difficult cases.

Let's hope the peripherals fall into line around it over the season; this arc will require all the slow stubborn broad-shouldered strength this show has to spare. Go to Full Review Sean Axmaker Stream on Demand May 9, 2025
The producers knew that the show was on bubble coming into Season Six and they developed it with the possibility that it could be the final season. Go to Full Review Gill Crawford Radio Times Apr 22, 2020

It's encouraging to see that Elementary has been able to solve 'the Moriarty problem' - with a seventh season on the way, it's a great position for the show to be in. Go to Full Review Drew Koenig Hidden Remote Jan 10, 2019

Jul 16, 2021 I have enjoyed all the episodes. Jonny Lee Miller is the best Sherlock, hands down. Such a brilliant actor, and an underrated actor. Lucy Liu & Jonny have a great chemistry. Wish it was still going on. Very sad it's no more. Would be so awesome to see him in more stuff. See more Jul 22, 2019 The need for plots that span one or series has been at the expense of weak plots in each episode. The writers have run out of steam. The whole point of any Sherlock Holmes story is that you're given all the the information, but only Sherlock can figure it out. Otherwise you're watching Miss Marple. The earlier series were so much better. See more Apr 24, 2019 Sherlock Holmes comes up against one of the most sinister and villainous criminals of his career in Season 6 of Elementary. After being asked to look into a missing persons case for a fellow narcotics anonymous member named Michael, Sherlock discovers that Michael is the killer and is committing murders to test Sherlock's wits. Meanwhile, Watson works toward become an adoptive parent and Det. Bell begins qualifying for the marshal service. Desmond Harrington joins the cast as a recurring character and does a good job at playing Sherlock's nemesis. And a few other interesting guest stars also stop by. A couple of story threads from previous seasons are touched on, such as Sherlock's father's takeover of Moriarty's organization, but for the most part the season keeps to self-contained cases-of-the-week. Yet the season finale delivers one of the most far-reaching, show altering twist endings of the series. Elementary's sixth season is remarkably entertaining and is full of intriguing mysteries. See more Mar 19, 2019 Great show, many creative ways of killing and disposing of bodies. I find I can no longer cook with nutmeg. See more Sep 23, 2018 I felt this was a decent season. What I liked about Elementary is that the mysteries are solidly crafted with inventive ideas often based on current inventions, government policies, etc. Although I don't know how I feel about the actor who played the main antagonist, he does serve as a good foil for Sherlock. I especially liked the ending and how they did something that surprised and completely made sense in the retrospect. See more Sep 21, 2018 the quality fluctuated during season 5, however this show managed to pivot and put out an excellent season 6. this show succeeds to not only reinvent a beloved classic but course-correct to get back to the quality we expected from previous seasons. also, the cast is phenomenal.
