The wonderful modern-day adaptation of Sherlock Holmes, Sherlock, is finishing its three-episode second season on Masterpiece Theatre this weekend, and we may not see season three for a while. So until then, it looks like CBS is trying to win over our hearts with a modern-day adaptations of Sherlock Holmes... set in New York City.
CBS has put the show, Elementary, on its fall schedule on Thursdays at 10 p.m. It features Jonny Lee Miller as Sherlock Holmes and Lucy Liu as Dr. Joan Watson—possibly the first female version of the sidekick/pal/comic relief—plus there's Aidan Quinn as a cop (RIP, Prime Suspect)! These days, Holmes is a consultant to the NYPD while Watson was hired by Sherlock's dad to keep an eye on him. Here's a look:
Liu, a Stuyvesant graduate, was just fantastic on Southland this past season, so here's hoping this works.
