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.

3.5/5
Now in its seventh season -- and having departed wildly from the original -- it still works in sly references to its source material even when the plot, as is the case tonight, is determinedly contemporary. Go to Full Review
Debi Enker The Age (Australia) 04/20/2020
It's not especially interesting or satisfying. The impulse is to tune it out, go with the flow and hope that it starts to make sense as events unfold. Go to Full Review
James Jackson The Times (UK) 10/09/2019
3/5
The slight problem with the finale was the same one as in the first episode seven years ago. Watching [Johnny Lee] Miller and [Lucy] Liu in the roles made you miss, rather than forget, other incarnations. Go to Full Review
Sean Axmaker Stream on Demand May 9
A few recurring characters from previous seasons return for one last appearance and while no scripts are adapted directly from Arthur Conan Doyle’s original stories, the climax plays off of “The Final Problem” ... Go to Full Review
George Fenwick The Post NZ 08/20/2021
Elementary is a genuinely enjoyable twist on the Sherlock Holmes story, shifting it to the modern day and casting Lucy Liu as a female Dr Watson. Go to Full Review
Thomas Bacon Screen Rant 11/06/2019
The Elementary season 7 finale neatly wraps up the stories of the show's supporting cast as well. Go to Full Review

Lucy M 01/13/2024 Great acting as always, love the usual ensemble ! I only marked this season down as I didn't care for the Shinwell storyline. It seemed awkward and forced, no chemistry. See more 01/23/2022 I loved the earlier seasons but towards the end 6-7, Joan's deduction skills seemed to be more on display - she is seen going to the crime scene to meet with police and Sherlock is left behind. I loved their relationship and how it developed, Sherlock deeply cared for Joan and you can see it in how he treats her over the seasons but it was cringey watching the final episodes in the series: Joan couldn't stand living in London for more than a few months when Sherlock had lived in the US for years. She couldn't try it out for a few years? She couldn't see it as an adventure, instead she was whining about not being able to see her friends. I'm not sure if I can finish watching the last season. See more 08/24/2019 Elementary comes to a decent, though not outstanding end, in it's seventh and final season. The majority of episodes are entertaining. The show still manages to pursue interesting concepts, often related to the business world, and avoids the tendency that other mystery shows these days have by neither being too light or dark. However, since this is the seventh season, the episodes feel fatigued. The finale, though maybe not the greatest final episode, is a suitable ending for the show and I prefer it over last season's finale which would've been the end if the show hadn't been renewed. Unfortunately, the major storyline of this season shares the fate of most of the season stories by being mediocre. Still, nothing compares to season 1 (and maybe the first half of season 3). The villain here has kind of an interesting concept, but he or she feels underwritten. If you're hoping that there will a final confrontation with Moriarty, be disappointed. I think it's safe to say at this point that Natalie Dormer is either too busy or unwilling to reprise the role. After all these years, Johnny Lee Miller and Lucy Liu still got it as Holmes and Watson. The characters' relationship really drives the finale. See more 08/20/2019 I hated that most of the season was not available to anyone not willing to pay for cbs all-access...there were only about 5 episodes on On Demand and I do not feel like I saw the entire season. It has been one of my favorites since it began and for loyal viewers to be treated this way is typical of the can't be sensible network. The finale felt rushed - FOUR YEARS in one episode?? and did not do justice to this wonderful show. Will Hulu or Netflix pick it up??? See more 08/16/2019 This show is definitely one of favourites. Love the chemistry between the two leads. See more 08/15/2019 Wonderful series, hate to see it go. But Watson as a blonde???? See more Read all reviews
