I didn't feel that way. I'd never heard of it before, and the preview told me it would be pretty awful. Perhaps hearing about it lowered your expectations so much the preview could only raise them?


NAY! Nay big time.

I've liked Jonny Lee Miller in Hackers (yes, I actually really love Hackers), and Eli Stone (yes, I really watched all of Eli Stone), and he seems to be the only remote reason to watch this show. I've never liked Lucy Liu's acting, and Aidan Quinn looked like he wasn't contributing much here, but I guess we'll see.

My primary turn off is what I'm able to perceive about the quality of the writing. From that trailer, it seems like it'll be pretty lazy, cliche-ridden, and generally unimaginative.

I predict four to six episodes will air before it's cancelled.

Keep in mind, I would think this even if Sherlock didn't exist. Elementary looks bad enough on its own, and it only looks worse in the shadow of Sherlock.
