Storyline
NYPD detective Javier Abreu is delighted to have his weird English friend Sherlock Holmes on the case of robbery-victim Dr. Richard Mantlo's apparently missing wife, whom Sherlock finds slaughtered in a safe room she has installed secretly. Sherlock, recently out of drug rehab, makes the best of 'buddy' nurse Joan Watson, hired by his wealthy London father, actually a disbarred surgeon whose people skills he can use. Sherlock quickly proves it's the work of a trophy-hunting serial killer, but finds his prime suspect the next victim. Written by

While it has been criticized as an attempt to Americanize the ever- popular BBC series, Sherlock, CBS's Elementary is far-off from the hit BBC program: in its own special way. The writers currently seem to be testing the waters, seeing how the ratings fare with the current scheme, before hopefully, unleashing an honest version of Sherlock onto the people of the good old USA. The highlight of this episode was definitely Jonny Lee Miller's portrayal of Sherlock Holmes, an honest if subdued interpretation of Arthur Conan Doyle's character, which had his own quirks, dealing with overcoming his addiction and balancing that with his propensity to get bored easily. Lucy Liu's character of Joan Watson seems to need some kind of character growth, as she is mostly one-dimensional at this point. The future is bright for this show, though.
