Elementary starts with promise but devolves quickly into generic buddy cop (except they are private detectives) show. Sherlock wanes as Watson waxes. Lucy Liu really shines though. By the time I quit watching it had turned into the British style of mystery where it's all red herring clues and at the end they pick some character at random to be "guilty" and Sherlock pulls evidence out of his butt that proves it.
If it hasn't been mentioned, The Murdoch Mysteries (Canadian), is a steam punkish Sherlockian mystery series about a turn of the century Toronto detective that invents modern forensics with Victorian science. Almost every episode has a minor or major historical figure, either cameo or "guest star." Buffalo Bill, Thomas Edison, Tesla, AC Doyle, various other authors, inventors, scientists, explorers, and characters appear as their famous selves or sometimes pre-fame.
