(22,590 posts)I think it has still been good although it is hard to maintain the quality of a series over too many years. I was prepared not to like this tv series after watching the "Sherlock" BBC series with Benedict Cumberbatch since I've never been a Sherlock Holmes fan but "Elementary" grew on me and its Sherlock Holmes has been more fleshed out over the course of a series compared to 3 movie length shows every few years which I don't think have really lived up to the first 3.
But I get to see all of the seasons of "Elementary" in reruns every week to help me keep up.
I admit to becoming ruthless about becoming interested in new tv series since there are so many these days but I still look forward to watching "Elementary" which has an show opening sequence that I still find interesting and memorable which is unusual these days (I still tune in to the beginning and end of the "Andy Griffith Show" to hear "The Fishin' Hole" theme song.)

(1,227 posts)We watch Elementary non-stop. Granted, his dialysis routine demands that he sleep most of the day, so he's never actually watched a complete episode. I'm hooked, however, despite listening to him snore.
IMO, they're all great. But, I have no idea of which seasons he owns. Four, maybe?
