Elementary? At its heart it is an old style major network episodic mystery show, a little on the quirky side so a bit like Monk or The Mentalist, but IMO the best writing of that lot and time period, and spends less time winking at the audience. What really sets it apart IMO is the relationship between Holmes and Watson. It's among the very best depictions of non-romantic love between unrelated friends, and it develops over time. I also think Jonny Lee Miller is superb in the role and Lucy Liu nearly as strong. I'm on S3 of my rewatch. With seven seasons and 150+ episodes, there's also inevitably some variance in episode quality.

Ooooooooh. Now I see my mistake.

The show you just described sounds nothing like a comedy about a bunch of 3rd grade teachers. I was confused.

I wonder if I should give this another try. Wife and I got through 3 episodes I think and just found it bland.

I've been a fan of Johnny Lee Miller since Trainspotting. I actually prefer his Holmes to Cumberbatch. He's still an eccentric jerk but somehow manages to still be likeable IMO.

Very much enjoyed season 1 of:

Vacuous and entertaining rom com - Nobody Wants This
Silo-apocalypse alternative - Paradise
