Title: Elementary jumps the shark in the first season
Review: I love the Sherlock Holmes canon and have enjoyed Elementary so far, but the show jumps the shark in this episode. A dead hotel manager ends up in a washing machine. She turns out to be a spy, along with her husband and a friend who runs a landmine non-profit. Her daughter, a seventeen year old soccer player and recovering pain pill addict, gets caught up in the mess. It's a disaster of a turn for Elementary--too much packed into 45 minutes, too glibly.
