From Wishbone to House M.D., Sir Arthur Conan Doyle‘s stories about Sherlock Holmes have historically been rife material for offbeat adaptations — even though they only entered the public domain in 2023. The new CBS series Watson starring Morris Chestnut offers a modern take on Sherlock’s sidekick, Doctor John Watson, but this isn’t the first time the network has tackled these iconic characters. But while Watson primarily deals with a team tackling medical cases, the stellar Elementary was a much more traditional crime procedural.
