《福尔摩斯:基本演绎法》由CBS出品,根据《福尔摩斯》系列改编,地点从19世纪大英帝国国势鼎盛的时期搬到了21世纪繁华热闹的美国纽约。故事里的SherlockHolmes(约翰尼·李·米勒JonnyLeeMiller饰)曾是苏格兰场(伦敦警察厅)的顾问,因毒瘾问题被送到纽约康复中心进行强制戒毒。结束这段不光彩的历史后在布鲁克林安顿下来。他的父亲雇佣了因医疗事故放弃职业的琼恩·华生医生JoanWatson(刘玉玲LucyLiu饰),来防止儿子复发。纽约警署巡官Gregson(艾丹·奎因AidanQuinn饰)曾与Holmes一起工作过,对他的能力印象深刻。当知道Holmes来美国后邀请他担任纽约警署的刑事案件顾问。Watson因见识了他的办案能力对他刮目相看,两人决定合作干一番事业……
在大家纷纷质疑,将这位充满大不列颠绅士之味,疯狂又前卫的侦探搬到美国是不是合理时,CBS却宣布,已经与英国著名演员约翰·李·米勒(JonnyLeeMiller)签约,这位曾经出演了《神奇律师》(EliStone),并客串了Showtime热门剧集《嗜血法医》(Dexter)的英国男演员,将在《Elementary》中饰演居住在纽约城中大侦探福尔摩斯。鉴于这部剧将来自CBS,那么它的风格也许无法像盖·里奇的电影版和BBC三集片一样偏幽默,沉重的故事是可以预见的。尽管如此,CBS在这样两个“前辈”的重压下,依旧敢预定导航集,可见其十足信心,很有可能这部剧将会成为明年的大热。而巧合的是,约翰·李·米勒和电影版及BBC版的演员们都有不小的交集:他和电影版的“华生医生”裘德·洛是同学,两人一同创办了NatralNylon制片公司,还是公认的BFF。而米勒在去年,还曾经和BBC版的“夏洛克”本尼迪克特·康伯巴奇一同出演了英国著名导演丹尼·鲍尔的话剧《弗兰肯斯坦》(Frankenstein)
