Here's How You Can Watch Every Season Of Elementary

The world has no shortage of Sherlock Holmes adaptations. If you want to see a beloved modern retelling, watch Sherlock, with Benedict Cumberbatch. If you would rather see a pulpy version of The Hound of the Baskervilles, watch, well, The Hound of the Baskervilles, featuring Peter Cushing. Heck, if you want to see a kid-oriented cartoon in which Dr. John Watson is a robot, you can check out Sherlock Holmes in the 22nd Century. But, if you would rather see a contemporary American take on Sherlock Holmes, in which Holmes and Watson date — and Watson is a Chinese-American woman — you might be interested in Elementary.

On Elementary, Sherlock Holmes, played by Jonny Lee Miller, is a recovering drug addict and ex-Scotland Yard consultant who helps the New York Police Department. He is aided by Dr. Joan Watson, portrayed by Lucy Liu, who initially serves as his rehabilitation aid. As the show progresses, Holmes and Watson grow closer together and solve modern retellings of classic Sherlock Holmes stories. Elementary initially aired on CBS and lasted a respectable seven seasons. However, the show isn't currently available on the network's streaming service. So how can you watch every season of Elementary? Once you eliminate the impossible, whatever remains, no matter how improbable, must be the truth.

You can watch every season of Elementary on Hulu

Viewers who want to watch Jonny Lee Miller's portrayal of Sherlock Holmes on Elementary will find that Hulu is the logical conclusion. It's not the only available option, of course, but it's base-level subscription is certainly the most practical and affordable. Plus, viewers who take advantage of a free trial with Hulu would ostensibly be able to watch Elementary without paying a dime. That is, if they're up for a challenge; given that Elementary's seven-season run is 154 episodes long, viewers would need to binge six episodes a day to pull that off with a month-long free trial.

Elementary is also available on streaming platforms other than Hulu; Google Play and YouTube have the episodes available for $1.99 a pop. They also offer package deals for full seasons, with each installment ranging from $19.99 to $29.99. Though they come with a heavier price tag, purchasing full seasons of Elementary through these services allows viewers watch them in perpetuity, rather than relying on the series remaining available on a subscription service.
