Elementary: The Third Season

Starring: Jonny Lee Miller, Lucy Liu, Aidan Quinn, et al.

Perfect Crimes Meet the Perfect Match. In the City That Never Sleeps, one mind never rests. The eccentric detective Sherlock Holmes (Jonny Lee Miller) possesses an unquenchable thirst for intellectual puzzles and a ruthless instinct for justice. As a consulting detective to the NYPD, he takes on bizarre cases that baffle the most seasoned cops. But he can't do it alone. Holmes relies on Joan Watson (Lucy Liu), a former physician who's the one person who can keep up with his racing mind. Their partnership may be challenging, but it's nowhere near as difficult as the impossible mysteries that lead them on breathtaking chases through New York City's maddening maze. Join the hunt in the 24 episodes of the third season, collected in this set.

Customer Reviews

Lots of fun trying to outguess

Sherlock Holmes (Jonny Lee Miller) and Dr. Joan Watson (Lucy Liu) use forensic medicine and deductive reasoning to detect the perpetrators of exotic, elaborate crimes that usually end up with a dispatch or two. This is a fun whodunit series. It would have worked better if they had not used the Sherlock Holmes and Watson gimmick. It is fun in its own right. Instead of trying to make a period piece, this is a much more contemporary whodunit. For the most part, the clues are laid out in time for you to say that "the Butler did not pop out of the closet at the last minute to do the killing." Occasionally, they have to stretch a few things to make the plot work, but nothing too exotic. For example, in one case, a person has been dead for years, and when found, has a safety deposit box key; what bank lets you keep a safety deposit box for years without paying? In any event, the acting is fun, and the environment gives you a realistic feel. I am not too enamored with some of the background music. You should give the series a try.
