If you haven’t seen tonight’s Elementary, stop reading now. Spoilers to follow.
It finally happened. Twelve episodes into CBS’ modern day Sherlock Holmes series Elementary, Moriarty appears. Well, almost.
Elementary doesn’t follow the literary character’s trajectory as closely as another updated version, the BBC’s Sherlock. But it would be hard to imagine a Holmes who doesn’t face Moriarty — his greatest foe from Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s novels.

So it felt like only a matter of time before Elementary went down that path.
In the latest hour, titled “M,” Sherlock (Jonny Lee Miller) hunts down a serial killer named M, who murdered Sherlock’s beloved Irene Adler during a London killing spree.
