The Sherlock Mystery: The Movies And Shows VS The Original Stories

Elementary, the Show

Elementary stars Lucy Lui as John Watson, so right away you know it’s not going to be the Arthur Conan Doyle version of Sherlock. Elementary is an American series that presents a very updated update of the famous characters. The series was created by Robert Doherty, with Jonny Lee Miller starring as Sherlock.

The show is set in New York City and filmed primarily there. It runs on NBC network. In this version, Holmes has just gotten out of drug addiction rehabilitation and is placed, by his wealthy father, to live with Joan Watson as a sober companion. Elementary, my dear!
