Lucy Liu as Doctor Watson

Set pics from Elementary

Call us crazy but you can tell a lot about a man from the length of his coat. And particularly when he's playing Sherlock (should always be ankle-grazing). Which is why we're a little disappointed about the lack of length on Jonny Lee Miller's, who's playing the lead role in CBS' upcoming TV series Elementary.

The TV company announced its plans to create its own version (because there's no such thing as too many Sherlock franchises), last month and will set the series in New York, rather than London. Lucy Liu there, is playing a female Doctor Watson.

True, you can't tell much from this picture but we're still not entirely convinced this will out-do Steven Moffat's version or the Hollywood blockbuster either.

Let us know what you think below.

As Content Director of Shortlist, Marc likes nothing more than to compile endless lists of an evening by candlelight. He started out life as a movie writer for numerous (now defunct) magazines and soon found himself online - editing a gaggle of gadget sites, including TechRadar, Digital Camera World and Tom's Guide UK. At Shortlist you'll find him mostly writing about movies and tech, so no change there then.
