Elementary Season 2
DVD Wholesale Quick Overview:
Return to the scene of the crime in Elementary: The Second Season, with all 24 gripping episodes collected on for the first time on DVD in this 6 disc collection. Jonny Lee Miller returns in this modern-day take on Sherlock Holmes, the dangerously eccentric consulting detective who’s addicted to impossible cases. Lucy Liu stars as Dr. Joan Watson, his “sober companion” turned partner in detection. Together, they take on some of the strangest crimes New York has ever seen as they assist the police in uncovering clues that unlock the city’s sinister secrets. Only to the very sharpest minds do the incredible solutions seem elementary.
Jonny Lee Miller and Lucy Liu are great in this! I am a longtime Holmes fan. I read all of Arthur Conan Doyle’s works when I was a kid and I’ve reread them several times since. I love Benedict Cumberbatch’s rendition of a modern day Holmes and Martin Freeman’s modern day Watson in BBC’s Sherlock series. But I had never given Elementary a chance because I didn’t think that a modern-day Holmes could be done any better than what the BBC Sherlock series has done. But I found that you really can’t compare the two. They are both excellent! Jonny Lee Miller’s version of Holmes is smart, sexy and funny. He doesn’t find sex abhorrent and he has had his heart broken by a woman. Unheard of! Benedict cumberbatch’s character almost went there with Irene Adler but not quite to this level of heartbreak marked by a descent into drug abuse. Jonny Lee Miller gives a pleasingly quirky and briIliant take. It’s a much different take than what we’re used to – the traditionally very cerebal and logical Holmes character who keeps regular people at bay. Miller’s portrayal manages to balance all of that with showing Holmes’ vulnerability at pivotal points. Lucy Liu is brilliant and beautiful as Watson. She emerged from being just Holmes’s protege and sober companion in season 1 to being a great deductionist in her own right! I love it. And if you watch the series carefully ( this season and the ones after) you can see Asian and Amerasian actors appearing in greater numbers than I’ve ever seen them before in a series and I have to think that this has to be due to her influence. Bravo!
