The new drama series Elementary, premiering on CBS on September 27^th, is a modern-day take on Sherlock Holmes.  Just out of rehab, Sherlock (Jonny Lee Miller) has been assigned to live with sober coach, Dr. Joan Watson (Lucy Liu), and together they make a dream team for solving the NYPD’s most impossible cases.

While at the CBS portion of the TCA Press Tour, executive producer/writer Rob Doherty talked about what drives this interpretation of Sherlock Holmes, what makes the character more than just a brilliant detective, how he came to be such a fan himself, how they’re approaching the puzzle-solving aspect of the show, what led them to casting a woman as Watson, and how Moriarity will be different in a modern-day world.  Check out what he had to say after the jump.
