ELEMENTARY

Finished this teleplay from Robert Doherty.  It brings Sherlock Holmes into our current year as he comes to New York and offers his services to help solve crimes for the police department.  Seems he's just come oout of a rehab clinic and "Watson" is now Joan Watson, a Personal Recovery Assistant.

Watson was a surgeon but she made a mistake and allowed a patient to die on the table.  She now does this job and has her hands full with Holmes.  It's entertaining because they're the original Mulder and Scully however, the murder is standard and unlike the best Sherlock Holmes stories, there's no way for us to play along and match wits with the greatest sleuth in history.

I would pass on the project unless they can come up with better mysteries.
