CBS has cast Lucy Liu as Watson in “Elementary”
Further proof that CBS’ in-the-works Sherlock Holmes reboot will take the iconic franchise in a radical new direction: The network has cast Lucy Liu as Watson!
TVLine has learned that Liu has been tapped to play Watson toJonny Lee Miller‘s Sherlock in Elementary, the network’s modern-day take on the famed detective saga.
Another key change: Sherlock and Watson now live in New York City.
What I actually like this decision though.
CBS, seriously; why don’t you just set me on fire? That’d be more suitable than this shit.I bet twenty bucks that they cast a dude as Sherlock and then there’s a romantic plot between them in the show
^^^^^^^lmao
Oh look it’s another take on Sherlock that I’m not going to watch.
