CBS has released a teaser for Elementary, the new modern day American take on Sherlock Holmes starring Jonny Lee Miller as the great detective and Lucy Liu as Joan Watson. I have serious doubts as to whether or not the CBS series will be able to reach the bar set by BBC’s Sherlock (and this short behind-the-scenes look doesn’t instill me with confidence), but as a Holmes’ fan I’m willing to give it a shot. Elementary is set to premiere on September 20, 2012.
