Sherlock Holmes adaptation Elementary has landed a new UK streaming show. The US series, which is a modern take on the iconic detective, originally ran between 2012 and 2019. UK-based fans wanting to catch the show can now do so via U, with all seven seasons available to stream on the site.<\/p>\n

Originally airing on CBS in the US, Elementary sees Jonny Lee Miller play Sherlock, a former London-based detective who relocates to New York City after a stint in rehab. There, he’s forced to live with sober companion Dr Joan Watson (Lucy Liu) before they investigate crimes.<\/p>\n

The series, described as a “modern-day Sherlock Holmes” by U<\/a>, has largely received praise from fans. One on IMDb<\/a> also called it a “modern adaptation of Sherlock Holmes” which “brings a refreshing twist to the classic detective tale”.<\/p>\n

Another suggested that “you’ll be hooked once you start”, adding that the series is “such a great show that it’s actually underrated as far as cop shows go”.<\/p>\n

“Like many people, I love BBC’s Sherlock and overlooked Elementary for many reasons,” a third viewer added. “I recently decided to give it a chance and was pleasantly surprised to say the least.”<\/p>\n

The series also drew acclaim from critics, sitting at a near-perfect score of 96% fresh on Rotten Tomatoes<\/a> across its run.<\/p>\n

“A worrisome idea became a wonderful idea after CBS sent out the pilot of Elementary,” The Hollywood Reporter<\/a> wrote in its original review, with Miller praised as “a superb Sherlock”.<\/p>\n

“Purists will miss the trappings of 221B Baker Street,” wrote Denver Post<\/a> in 2012. “But Elementary […] is appealing on several counts.”<\/p>\n

Elementary is available to stream on U.<\/p>\n
