Say what you will about CBS’ “Elementary”, their attempt at a Sherlock Holmes TV series, but I like the idea of a druggie, boozy Sherlock Holmes. I know Benedict Cumberbatch (awesome name, that) has the whole “slick, dysfunctional genius Sherlock Holmes” down with the BBC’s “Sherlock”, but the notion of a Sherlock Holmes stuck in America who is possibly even more disastrous than the people whose murders he’s trying to solve is kinda cool. And unique. Let’s face it, if it was just a carbon copy of the BBC show, everyone would be crying foul, and for good reason.

Here’s another look at Lucy Liu and Jonny Lee Miller, aka Watson and Holmes, respectively, from the upcoming show. Michael Cuesta of “Homeland” fame directed the pilot episode, which finds Watson being hired by Holmes’ father to be his sober buddy. Instead, he pulls her into his world of crime solving. Hey, beats listening to people talk about their problems in AA, right?

“Elementary”, which co-stars Aidan Quinn as Holmes’ cop contact, arrives this Fall on CBS.

滬江娛樂快訊：隨你怎么評(píng)價(jià)CBS版的福爾摩斯新劇《Elementary》，我倒覺得這位嗜酒成性的夏洛克很帶感。是的，在BBC版《新福爾摩斯》（Sherlock）中，本尼迪克特·康伯巴奇已經(jīng)將這位天才到變態(tài)的超級(jí)偵探演繹的深入人心。但在《Elementary》中，約翰尼·李·米勒飾演的夏洛克不僅生活在美國(guó)，而且他的生活很可能比他手下案件當(dāng)事人的經(jīng)歷還要悲催。這樣的故事線似乎很酷呢 。

同時(shí)，劉玉玲飾演的華生受聘于福爾摩斯的父親，她將擔(dān)任夏洛克的戒酒陪護(hù)。但夏洛克卻將她帶入了探案的冒險(xiǎn)旅途之中。這樣的劇情可比聽戒酒協(xié)會(huì)的各位酒鬼袒露心聲有趣多了嗎！另有亞當(dāng)·奎因飾演夏洛克在美國(guó)警局的聯(lián)系人。

本劇首集由《國(guó)土安全》（Homeland）導(dǎo)演邁克·科斯塔執(zhí)導(dǎo)?！禘lementary》將于金秋登陸CBS頻道。
