Elementary is, to all intents and purposes, the US version of the BBC's Sherlock. It stars British actor Jonny Lee Miller (who found fame in Trainspotting) as detective Sherlock Holmes and Lucy Liu (best known for Charlie's Angels and Ally McBeal), as Dr Joan Watson.
In the series, following a stint in rehab in London, eccentric Sherlock escapes to Manhattan where his wealthy father forces him to live with his worst nightmare; a sober companion in the shapely form of Dr Watson.
Elementary is, basically, a police procedural with a crime-of-the-week for our crime-solving duo to crack. But how does it differ from Sherlock? And where are the similarities? We explore a few of them in this gallery.

Fact: Lucy Liu is not the first to play a female Watson. There was a made for tv movie/pilot about Holmes being found in suspended animation and woken. In that he is a heroin addict and Watson is the descendant of the original Watson. There was also a hint that Moriarty had frozen himself as well, this was in America as well. An obscure movie perhaps, but not too bad for when it was made on a low budget. What was funny about the show was Holmes' skills being out of date for the 20thcentury, for example when he meets a police chief and believes the name on the cup to be a nickname for him when in fact it was the name of the store he bought it from.
