Lucy Liu Reviews, Interviews & More
The first season of Elementary dealt with its fair share of kinks but gradually found its footing. Like every version of Sherlock Holmes, we encountered the inevitable mystery of the sinister Moriarty. The reveal of Irene Adler left Sherlock in shock, and many questions unanswered. Thankfully, our curiosity was quenched in "The Woman." And while "Heroine"...
The first season of Elementary is nearly over, but the games have just begun for Sherlock Holmes. "Risk Management" is a great starting point for the bigger battle that will erupt between Sherlock and Moriarty. It's filled with suspense that will satisfy fans of the show and bring in new ones. Warning: there are major spoilers in this review.
In this week's Elementary, Sherlock's determination to find Moriarty grows in "A Landmark Story." We're getting closer to the truth but the main characters, and part of the episode's story, is alienated as a result.
It's a pain to have wait for a good show to return after a break. But thankfully, it was worth it because of Elementary's latest episode "Snow Angels." It was a fun blend of Sherlock/Watson banter with a game of cat and mouse mixed in.
After a couple weeks away, Elementary returns with a new episode, and in some ways, a new Joan Watson. "Deja Vu All Over Again" is the beginning of her real detective work. Ms. Watson lands her first case!
"Possibility Two," the latest episode of Elementary, deals with Watson's tutelage as a detective. Plus, there's also some weird genetics stuff going on. It's great to see Watson develop her own deductions but the story's main mystery is a little dull.
Hooray, Jon Michael Hill's Detective Bell finally got his own episode! While "Details" is a little rough around the edges, Elementary's sudden turn of events with its main characters was enough to keep our attention.
This may be one of the strangest episodes of Elementary to hit this season. Sure, it has the necessary suspense to carry the narrative, but its "A Giant Gun, Filled with Drugs" ending that disappoints the most.
Not every episode of Elementary is a winner, but on Super Bowl Sunday, we enjoyed the latest chapter in Sherlock's crazy life. While "The Deductionist" isn't the best of the season, its cat and mouse game made it worth our time.
Elementary may have taken a short break, but it doesn't feel like it did. It takes "The Red Team" a little time to get going, but once it does you're hooked. Between the case, and the conflict brewing between Holmes and Gregson, it was must see TV.
Elementary continues to surprise us with its fine acting, well-crafted stories and solid direction. It's easily one of the best shows to come out last fall. In this week's episode, "M," cracks begin to show on the worn-down consulting detective. Warning, there are spoilers below.
After a brief holiday hiatus, Elementary is back with all-new episodes. Thankfully the latest, entitled "Dirty Laundry," starts off on the right foot. It has consistent layers of mystery that make it the first great episode of the year.
We've hit the 10th episode of Elementary,and it's a shame "The Leviathan" is anything but impressive. This week's murder mystery loses its luster well after the half hour mark. What the heck happened?
We're rounding the halfway point of Elementary, and because of that, you'd think it would cough up some of the season's weakest episodes. In "You Do It To Yourself," viewers were greeted with a number of delightful twists and turns. They'll make the most avid mystery fan scratch their head.
Every network drama has a few tricks they have to use, sometimes for each episode. While Elementary deals with the occasional formulaic concoction for their weekly mysteries, there's a lot more going on with its characters. They make the show more enjoyable as proven in "The Long Fuse."
This week's Elementary made some risky moves. "One Way to Get Off" almost shook up the dynamic between several of its main characters. As a result, we were given what's clearly one of the season's strongest episodes. Warning: Heavy spoilers ahead.
Every once in a while Elementary gives us an episode that lays the groundwork for an upcoming story arc. While "Flight Risk" isn't particularly Earth-shattering, it's a peek at how crazy Sherlock's world truly is.
These days, many filmmakers are so obsessed with the films they grew up with, it feels like they're not just paying homage, but doing covers. RZA's The Man with the Iron Fists tries to come off as a fun-filled bloody action fest, tipping its hat to martial arts movies of the past, but in trying to incorporate so many homages it comes off as messy.
Two steps forward, and one step back. While Elementary continues to carve out its own path as a modernized version of Sherlock Holmes, every once in awhile it's bound to slip. In "Lesser Evils," the bumps are smaller than in previous episodes, but they're still noticeable.
After a few weeks, Elementary's begun sprouting its wings to become a beautiful TV butterfly. This could be part of the period where it transforms from the Jonny Lee Miller hour to an ensemble. In "The Rat Race," both Lucy Liu and Aidan Quinn had a little more to do.
