The name is Watson, Joan Watson. Lucy Liu is set to play Sherlock Holmes’ sidekick in CBS’ drama pilot Elementary, whose tweaks to Arthur Connan Doyle’s classic include switching Watson’s gender to female. The project, written by Robert Doherty, is set in present day and stars Jonny Lee Miller as eccentric Brit Holmes, a former consultant to Scotland Yard whose addiction problems led him to a rehab center in New York City.

Y E S!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

conflicted about this for many reasons but dammit I love Jonny Lee Miller

Not 100% on board, but I love Jonny Lee Miller, and the premise sounds interesting, but I alos hate shows that run for 20 or more episodes a season, its just too much. I will still give this a chance.

Jonny Lee Miller is good but Lucy Liu can’t act. Sorry, there we go.
