DVD Reviews
I'm still mourning the loss of this show.
It's one of my all-time favorites. I'm glad to have this
set, so that I can go back and enjoy the series all over
again. I was quite pleased that CBS sent it to me.
I'm a lifelong fan of Sherlock Holmes. I've always loved any
movies or TV series about Sherlock, and I've read all of the
books. (I haven't seen all of the old British Sherlock
episodes yet, though...) CBS's version always seemed like
the bastard stepchild of the Sherlock Holmes genre, since
the PBS series "Sherlock" seems so much better. Well, part
of that is because they only film a few episodes per year.
"Sherlock" has been around for 9 years, but there are only
15 episodes. That's it! Total. They win all the awards, but
guess what? It's much harder to keep that kind of greatness
going for 20 or more episodes per year. Even so, Elementary
has been a very good show for 7 years. It's a shame they
couldn't give it a few more years.
I love good
mysteries, and that's one of the things that's the best
about this show -- watching Joan, Sherlock, Marcus and the
Captain crack the cases. The personalities of the
characters, and the top notch acting, don't hurt, either. I
just love Lucy Liu and Jonny Lee Miller, and their
characters' relationship over the whole series, and how it
evolves.
You should make sure that you watch this
series if you missed it on TV. It's excellent and might
become one of your favorite shows, too. The DVD set has a
lot of fantastic extras.
I'm not crazy about the
bright yellow color of the DVD set. I guess they wanted to
make it eye-catching. Also, it's a bit expensive at $75. I
think it's worth it, though, given the number of episodes,
and all of the wonderful features.

Description:
ELEMENTARY stars Jonny Lee Miller as Detective Sherlock
Holmes and Lucy Liu as Dr. Joan Watson in a modern-day
drama about a crime-solving duo that cracks the NYPD’s
most impossible cases. Initially sober companion and
client, Holmes and Watson’s relationship evolved into a
symbiotic professional investigative partnership. Once
the top homicide consultants for Captain Thomas Gregson,
they worked regularly alongside Detective Marcus Bell
before Holmes’ false confession to a murder he did not
commit forced them to move to London. Holmes and Watson
forge new careers in England as consultants for Scotland
Yard until they receive news that a member of their
inner circle has been gravely wounded in the United
States. As Holmes’ stateside legal trouble threatens to
keep them from returning to New York, their greatest foe
to date, tech billionaire Odin Reichenbach waits on the
horizon to test their limits.
