T10 WHATS UP! April 29 - May 5, 2018 said to him when they met long ago. However, rumors abound that Michael may have ulterior motives for approach- ing the police consultant. The season 6 cast also in- cludes series regular Aidan Quinn ("Legends of the Fall," 1994) as Capt. Thomas Greg- son of the NYPD, who often pulls in Holmes and Watson as consultants to crack tough cases. One of Gregson's col- leagues at the 11th Precinct is Det. Marcus Bell (Jon Michael Hill, "Detroit 1-8-7"), who's frequently paired with Holmes and learns a great deal from him. Unfortunately, Holmes may have to take some time off from consulting to focus on his health this season. At the end of season 5, he underwent a brain scan to investigate the cause of his neurological is- sues, and the test revealed that he may have a brain tumor. His health troubles are just the lat- est in a long list of challenges faced by the famed detective. Over the course of the first five seasons of the show, he's tackled some formidable foes, not the least of which are his addictions. Miller's portrayal of the iconic character has earned him high praise from critics, as well as a Satellite Award nomination in 2012. Liu has also been honored with a number of accolades for her work on the series, including three People's Choice Award nominations and a 2013 Teen Choice Award win. "Elemen- tary" was nominated for a 2012 People's Choice Award in the Favorite New TV Drama cate- gory, and has since snagged two Emmy nods, multiple Prism Award nominations and much more. The show's suc- cess is particularly sweet be- cause it was the subject of scrutiny from fans of the BBC's "Sherlock," which was also a contemporary take on the classic character, played in that series by Benedict Cum- berbatch ("Doctor Strange," 2016). TV fans seem sufficiently satisfied that the two shows are distinct, as "Elementary" has proven to be a hit, despite a dip in the ratings for season 5. This may be why things looked a tad grim for season 6 of the CBS series, as the net- work initially ordered only 13 episodes. As luck would have it, CBS extended the episode order, bringing the season 6 grand total to 21 episodes of the mystery-drama. Find out what's in store for Holmes and Watson in the sea- son premiere of "Elementary," airing Monday, April 30, on CBS.
