Benedict Cumberbatch has praised Jonny Lee Miller's performance as Sherlock Holmes in CBS show Elementary.
Like the BBC's Sherlock, the Us show sets Arthur Conan Doyle's character in the modern day. It cast Cumberbatch's friend and Frankenstein co-star in its lead role.

"I watched it... it's great. It's watching an actor I really like playing a part I really like and enjoy playing," Cumberbatch told Digital Spy and other journalists.
"And to see him relishing it in similar ways is fantastic. I think he's doing a wonderful job."
Quizzed how he would out-Sherlock his friend, Cumberbatch replied: "There are 78 of us all vying for the position, out-Sherlocking one another. So we're in good company."
After initially admitting to feeling "cynical" about Elementary when it was first announced, Cumberbatch later called the show "fantastic" and urged people to watch.

When it was released in 2009, Sherlock Holmes was a bit of a run away success. Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law, as the titular character and his sidekick Doctor Watson, respectively, formed an action/comedy duo that was both physically imposing and hilarious. Guy Ritchie crafted a movie that plays as if we’re watching what The World’s Greatest Detective’s adventures would have been like in real life had he really existed. The Holmes he and Downey created is rougher around the edges and grittier than previous interpretations.
Was their version of Mr. Holmes accurate and faithful to the original stories? Considering the amount of dedicated fans, there are sure to be many different ideas over what constitutes a proper depiction of Sherlock Holmes.

The BBC’s magnificently entertaining miniseries Sherlock is drawing to a close tonight, and while we’re sad to see it go, it’s a pretty safe bet that it’ll be back with a full series some time next year.
Tonight’s episode is titled The Great Game, and is written by series co-creator Mark Gatiss. We recently spoke with Gatiss, and you can read our interview below.
HeyUGuys: You collaborated with Steven [Moffat] to develop the series, How much of it was you, how much was Steven? Were there any elements that you liked, and Steven didn’t or vice versa?
Mg: Well no, I have to say. Steven is always joking that we’re actually married now, but it was a shared passion. The first thing was this ‘actually, do you know anything about the Basil Rathbone skirting around. Do you know my favourite? It’s called Spider Woman‘. ‘Oh,...
