For those whomever read Sherlock Holmes novels, are indulged with unique story lines. With key phrases, and dialog that could be expressed as diverse and intelligent. Elementary with two seasons under its wing have managed to deliver solid storytelling to television once again. Jonny Lee Miller (Sherlock) and Lucy Liu (Watson) play the roles in a significant fashion, unlike past incarnations of the characters. They are not frumpy detectives, but feel like modern day realizations, as mush as their antagonists.
As of late, season 2 explores the faction that is Moriarity. A name that's haunted Sherlock since he left London, seeking refuge in New York. Now being cleansed, and seeing everything clearer. There have been more diverse changes with the writing style, included that each case is related to one another. No longer pieces of one puzzle, but a constant continuity shaped around the duo and their police allies.
Even more interesting is the dynamic played out by Joan Watson's choice to befriend Sherlock. Not just a sober companion, but as an investigator that can be relied upon when needed. On occasion, there are times she is called upon with Sherlock elsewhere, knowing her training and focus, there is a trust that no one else can define.
But with all friendships comes a barrier, Irene Adler was once a part of Sherlock's heart. Until he lost her to some unforeseen circumstances, only to gain her back as something else. For those who have read the novels know of a mysterious being named "Moriarity" a dweller of the dark and shadows. Connecting the dots, and literally emulating every move that Sherlock and Watson make. The biggest shift in gears for this series however, is just who M actually is. (I write no spoilers here however) but commend the awesome writing team, and production staff on taking a classic tale and making it fresh.
