I always make sure to emphasize that its not like, a Sherlock Holmes style murder mystery.

You know Holmes dealt with many things aside from murder, right? In fact, I'd argue that a lot of adaptations focus way more on murder than canon ever did.

[(Anonymous)]

yesssssss, I know, I've read all of the books multiple times. But it did codify (not initiate - that was Blicher and Poe) the style of crime fiction that the whole murder mystery genre has evolved from. I'd totally agree that most of the adaptations focus on it way more than the books themselves, and anyone who went into the books expecting a who-dunnit like the ones that are popular these days wouldn't find what they were expecting.

I guess my wording was off, but my point was just that Sherlock Holmes stories these days are often adapted as murder mysteries, and are generally culturally recognized as such? At least in my experience? So someone going into Elementary might be expecting that, not a procedural cop drama, and might be disappointed... which is something I've been seeing happening online. Therefore, if I recommend the show to a friend, I would point that out to start with so they know what they're getting into.
