I may be repeating myself but it would be hard to go wrong with Sherlock Holmes as your base story but the writers have captured even more than the original with this series. The 2 main players Sherlock (played exceptionally well by Jonny Lee Miller) and Watson (played just as well by Lucy Liu) just add depth to an already interesting story each week. This can be called a bromance, but one of the bros just happens to be a woman. He said that from the very beginning and I think it's really an apt description. There's this idea that a man and a woman can't be together on a show especially without needing to be together sexually or in love or whatever, and this is really about the evolution of a friendship and how that happens. Watching that should be as much the story of this show as the mysteries that you see week in and week out about who killed who. I just know that after a few episodes I was already addicted. The addition of Aidan Quinn as Captain Tobias Gregson of the New York City Police Department was genius. He genuinely likes Holmes and the two have mutual respect for each other so we get to avoid the good cop bad cop plot lines that many shows that have talented citizens playing at detectives, I love The Mentalist but this re-imagining of the Sherlock Holmes story takes the genre to a new level of entertainment.

This second season moves the bar up a bit since Watson (Lucy Liu) is accepted as part of the crime solving team by Holmes, this also brings a bit more entertainment since if the show proceeded as more of a 1-man-show it would get stale. The best thing about this show is not really the cases as much as the interaction of the characters, I can only hope this season maintains the high level of quality television that the first season did.

UPDATE: People still seem to think there will be a romance but this is what the show's creator said (Hollywood Reporter 7 Oct, 2013):

"Don't expect Watson and Sherlock Holmes to fall in love on "Elementary." The dynamic detective duo played by Lucy Liu and Jonny Lee Miller on the hit CBS drama won't be crossing over to "Moonlighting" romantic territory anytime soon.

"I feel like a broken record, so forgive me, but it's just not what we set out to do," creator Robert Doherty told a New York audience at a recent PaleyFest event. "At the end of the day, it's too easy to turn it into a romance ... We've been happy with what we've done up to this point, so I don't see any reason to mess with it. We want to mess with Sherlock's life and Joan's life in many other different ways, but we don't have to put them together.""

Perfection on TV
By curlygirrl
IMHO, there is not a better show on television. Jonny Lee Miller is absolute perfection as Sherlock Holmes. (That he did not receive an Emmy nomination makes a mockery of the Emmys.) Lucy Liu is almost his equal. I find the interaction between these two to be so unique in that, as much as I love their characters, I don't necessarily wish for their relationship to become romantic. Rather I am charmed by Holmes' growing respect for Watson's abilities. They are both highly intelligent individuals and the writers deserve kudos for such
