Arthur Conan Doyle’s iconic detective Sherlock Holmes has long fascinated filmmakers around the world, and rightly so. Before taking on the role of the Man of Steel in James Gunn’s upcoming film Superman, David Corenswet made a brief appearance in a lesser-known screen adaptation of the famous sleuth. No, we are not talking about Robert Downey Jr.’s movies or Benedict Cumberbatch’s acclaimed series. The show in question is Elementary — a critically acclaimed yet often-overlooked reimagining of Sherlock Holmes. Read on to find out what it’s about and where to stream it in India.
What’s Elementary All About
Created by Robert Doherty, Elementary is a gripping procedural mystery drama and a modern-day reimagining of Sherlock Holmes. The series stars Jonny Lee Miller as the brilliant detective Sherlock Holmes, a recovering addict now living in New York City. He is assisted by Dr. Joan Watson (Lucy Liu), a former surgeon turned sober companion, whose job is to help him stay clean. Together, the unlikely duo assists the NYPD in cracking some of its most complex cases. The series also features Aidan Quinn, Natalie Dormer, Jon Michael Hill, Rhys Ifans, and John Noble in key supporting roles.

The Superman actor appeared in Season 5, Episode 19 of Elementary, titled ‘High Heat’. He played the role of Houston Spivey, a concerned brother whose sister has gone missing. His character seeks the help of Sherlock Holmes to solve the mystery.
