Sherlock Holmes gets a fun, sweet twist with two irresistible young heroes in this middle grade debut from internationally bestselling YA author Elizabeth Eulberg. The easy-going John isn’t sure of what to make of Shelby, but he soon finds himself her most-trusted (read: only) partner in a dog-napping case that’ll take both of their talents to crack. When eleven-year-old John Watson moves downstairs, Shelby finds something that’s eluded her up till now: a friend. She’s nine years old, barely four feet tall, and the best detective her Harlem neighborhood has ever seen–always using logic and a bit of pluck (which yes, some might call “bossiness”) to solve the toughest crimes. In the end, that’s all anyone wants.Shelby Holmes is not your average sixth grader. Hopefully future episodes will get into Holmes’ darker flaws, particularly his addiction.Īlong the way, Elementary should prove rather conclusively that it’s a solid cousin to Sherlock and will give fans of the character more chances to see him solve crimes. Toss in Quinn, and you’ve got a trifecta of accomplished actors giving a real boost to a respected franchise. And that’s essential because the interplay between Holmes and Watson really is what drives the Arthur Conan Doyle stories. Liu looks to be giving Miller plenty of room in the pilot but also makes clear that her character is not going to be lost. He’s someone you want to watch in a role that’s tailor-made to the whodunit procedural. And Miller’s force as an actor wrings everything out of the script. He’s a name brand but he can be played as damaged, as opposed to a perfect hero. Now that’s what’s going to make Elementary eventually become an excellent drama. That’s an excellent decision because it makes Elementary focus not just on what CBS does best - hourlong procedurals in which a mystery is solved and the execution of it is done with minimum cliche - but also on the character-driven aspect of the show.

In fact, the producers have gone out of their way to thankfully confirm Elementary won’t be a will-they-or-won’t-they situation. That’s a lot more difficult to pull off because the chemistry between the two is hard-earned (and should be), and there’s no inkling of any of it being sexual. Liu’s calm mannerisms play well with Holmes’ more outlandish stunts, and instead of screaming and going into hysterics about his behavior, she demands access to his process and respect in the relationship. Tobias Gregson ( Aidan Quinn), who had worked with Holmes on a case with Scotland Yard and believes highly in his skills as an investigator (if not as a well-balanced man with manners, which neurotic and cocky Holmes could never be). Although Watson has the resolve to do the “sober companion” job, she can’t control Holmes when he’s drawn in to work for the NYPD, at the authorization of Capt. That would be Watson, who suffers the torment of Holmes’ fast and stinging barbs about being a baby-sitter, etc. When he arrives in New York, Holmes is disappointed to see that his father has hired a “sober companion” to watch over him.
Miller is superb and compelling as Sherlock, sent to New York City by his father after falling out of favor as a consultant for Scotland Yard and also needing a stint in rehab.
