All seven seasons of CBS' “Elementary” are on Prime Video this month The Emmy-nominated police drama is one of several Sherlock Holmes re-imaginings that took Hollywood by storm in the 2010s, but still managed to hold its own What sets it apart is its contemporary New York setting and the introduction of Dr Watson (Lucy Liu), a gender-bending doctor who is Holmes' equal, rather than second-guessing him as his assistant
Jonny Lee Miller (“Eli Stone”) plays the detective himself, who has just fallen on hard times after entering rehab Still struggling with the addiction that cut short his illustrious career in London, he teams up with Dr Watson, a former surgeon and addiction specialist, at his father's urging, to prevent a relapse Much to Watson's annoyance, Holmes is determined to implement his own post-rehab regimen of solving difficult cases for the NYPD

“Puss in Boots: Puss in Boots: The Last Wish” is a sharp reimagining of the character that blends 3D and 2D animation with lush backgrounds, stylized visuals, and vibrant colors that evoke the feeling of fairy tale illustrations Antonio Banderas is joined by Kitty, played by Salma Hayek, and her fairy tale friends, including Jack Horner (John Mulaney), Goldilocks (Florence Pugh), and the three bear crime families (Olivia Colman, Ray Winstone, Samson Kayo), return as the famous cats
