Elementary is a modern take on the classic stories of Sherlock Holmes.

Sherlock lives in New York and works as a private detective. He used to live and worked in England, but he moved.

He works as a consultant to the NYPD and is assisted by the beautiful Joan Watson. She is a former surgeon, who now works as a sober companion. Watson was originally hired to help Sherlock stay away from his coke habit, but she ends up as his assistant and PI in training.

Is Elementary good?

It`s not the best Sherlock series, but it is still a good show. Interesting to have a female Dr. Watson.

Why is Elementary recommended?

Sherlock is like Monk, he loves tho have mysteries to solve. He's more outgoing than Monk and does not have the same compulsions. But Sherlock has struggled with drugs, but that's more of an addiction problem. Elementary is not as good as the other Sherlock show, but it's still very good.

Is Sherlock good?

This is the best adoption of the Sherlock Holmes books I have ever watched.

It`s truly exciting to watch Sherlock's fast and leaping but accurate deductions. This is a show everyone should try out.

Why is Sherlock recommended?

Sherlock is more outgoing and better at reading social situations than Monk, but he doesn't care if he walks over people. He is also excellent at picking up small clues and drawing conclusions. Sherlock is an excellent show, absolutely worth watching.

Dr. Temperance "Bones" Brennan is a highly-skilled forensic anthropologist. Bones and her team help the FBI solving crimes where only the bones of the victims are reminding. Their handler from the FBI is Agent Seeley Booth.

Is Bones good?

Bones is one of the better forensic crime shows.

It is based on a book series, but it actually has very little in common with the books.

Why is Bones recommended?

Bones has some personality quirks that are kind of similar to Monk. They are not similar, but they both are bad at social situations, and not in an "I don't care what you think" kind of way.

If you like Monk then you will probably also like Bones.

Luckily for Mike, he had once taken the Bar exam as a dare and passed, which made him ace the interview. Harvey saw right truth him but still decided to take a chance on him.

Proving to be an irrepressible duo Mike and Harvey must keep their secret from everyone.

Why is Suits recommended?

Mike has a perfect memory and very good at using it. Kind of like Monk. But Mikes's personality is far away from Monk. So, Suits might not be that similar to Monk. But We added it anyway. It's a good show.

Psych is a hilarious show full of witty commentary.

I haven't seen the last seasons, but I want to do it if I get time. This is a delightful show that will give you plenty of laughs.

Why is Psych recommended?

Shawn is much more outgoing than Monk and he likes having fun. He has an excellent memory and is an expert at reading clues. But he uses it to works as a psychic and having fun while doing so.

Jane's skills as a mentalist, ex psychic, and con man come in handy. He's an expert at picking up on small details, thinking on his feet, and tricking people to get what he wants. His unorthodox methods help CBI to close lots of cases.

Is The Mentalist good?

This is a really good show. They drag the Red John story out a little too long, but that`s OK since the main part of the show is the individual cases and the relationships between the characters.

A murder that is an exact copy from his book.

When this first case is solved, Rick Castle decides to stay on with detective Kate Beckett and her team. He got permission because he was so helpful with the first case, and being a personal friend of the mayor did not hurt either.

Rick Castel keeps working with the NYPD after the first case is over to do research for his next book. But having fun and becoming close with detective Kate Beckett is another strong reason.

It is interesting to listen to all the crazy ideas Castle rattles of on how and why the crimes are committed. I really like this show.
