Everyone involved with “Elementary” has grown accustomed to the CBS drama’s status as a perennial bubble show, and was fully prepared for it to end with Season 6. And last season’s finale would’ve been a perfectly suitable final bow, with Sherlock and Watson having reaffirmed their mutual affection and admiration and finally taken up shop at the detective’s iconic 221B Baker Street home.
But to no small surprise, the long-running series was instead gifted with a 13-episode victory lap, one final chance to sew up the remaining storylines, bid a proper farewell to its cast of characters and maybe solve a few more murders along the way.
