When US network CBS first announced that it would be creating its own modern-day Sherlock Holmes series, Sue Vertue, executive producer of the BBC's Sherlock, confessed herself "worried". CBS had previously approached her and husband, Sherlock co-creator Steven Moffat, about translating the show to America. The fact that they were turned down yet went ahead and did their own version, Elementary, had some people whispering "rip-off".
Having now seen a synopsis and a trailer for Elementary, Moffat has gone the other way, suggesting that its hardly Sherlock Holmes at all. Meanwhile, fans are wondering how it stacks up against Sherlock.
