CBS just announced that Elementary -- a modern-day retelling of the Sherlock Holmes stories starring Jonny Lee Miller as the lead and Lucy Liu as his Dr. Watson -- would be joining the schedule, Thursdays at 10 p.m. Alongside PBS Masterpiece's Sherlock (currently airing series two), that is the second updated incarnation of these tales. But Sherlock showrunner Steven Moffat isn't worried. In fact, he thinks Elementary is taking too many liberties with its storytelling.
"What we did with our Sherlock was just take it from Victorian times into modern day," he tells TheInsider.com. "They've got three big changes: it's Sherlock Holmes in America, it's Sherlock Holmes updated and it's Sherlock Holmes with a female Watson. I wonder if he's Sherlock Holmes in any sense other than he's called Sherlock Holmes. It's almost like they should have made Watson a woman but kept the show in Victorian times. Actually ... that would actually be quite interesting."
