Those who are interested in seeing how Jonny Lee Miller and Lucy Liu look side by side as Sherlock Holmes and Watson respectively, some photos of the duo on set of the CBS pilot Elementary have made their way online, which give us a look at both actors in character. Check them out ahead!

Based on these photos, which were posted by Just Jared, in Elementary, Watson comes in the form of a well-dressed, well accessorized Lucy Liu. Meanwhile, Sherlock seems to prefer a wool mid length coat, with a plaid scarf. Plaid scarves seem to be a fad on this project, as the hot dog vender also appears to be wearing one.

Elementary might seem like an interesting project on paper, but the pilot has sparked irritation from fans of the U.K. series Sherlock, which is also a modern-day take ok Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s beloved character. Earlier today, we shared some comments from Sherlock creator Steven Moffet, who expressed some concern over how CBS’ Elementary could affect Sherlock. That may be thinking ahead, as the project is still in the pilot phase, but as the above photos indicate, things are well underway for Elementary.

Assistant Managing Editor

Kelly put her life-long love of movies, TV and books to greater use when she joined CinemaBlend as a freelance TV news writer in 2006, and went on to serve as the site’s TV Editor before joining the staff full-time in 2011 and moving over to other roles at the site. At present, she’s an Assistant Managing Editor who spends much of her time brainstorming and editing features, analyzing site data, working with writers and editors on content planning and the workflow, and (of course) continuing to obsess over the best movies and TV shows (those that already exist, and the many on the way). She graduated from SUNY Cortland with BA in Communication Studies and a minor in Cinema Studies. When she isn't working, she's probably thinking about work, or reading (or listening to a book), and making sure her cats are living their absolute best feline lives.
