Lucy Liu Will Play Watson in New Sherlock Holmes Series ELEMENTARY

TV Sherlock Holmes about 12 years agoby Joey Paur

Lucy Liu (Kill Bill, Southland) has been cast as Sherlock Holmes' mystery-solving partner Watson in the upcoming CBS Drama series Elementary. The show is a modern day retelling of Sherlock Holmes, and I guess it was only a matter of time before Watson would be played by a woman, which I don't have a problem with. I like Lui and think she can be badass in the role.

Lui will join Jonny Lee Miller, who will be taking on the role of Sherlock, a recovering addict and consultant for the NYPD. Liu will play Joan Watson, a former surgeon-turned-sober companion who looks after Holmes.

Can you get behind Liu taking on the role of Watson in this new series? It definitely puts a whole new dynamic and the characters relationship.
