"Steven Moffat has criticised CBS Sherlock Holmes series Elementary. Moffat - who co-created the BBC&amp;#039;s Sherlock - told The Insider that the CBS update has changed too many elements from Conan Doyle&amp;#039;s original tales.   &amp;quot;What we did with our Sherlock was just take it from Victorian times into modern day,&amp;quot; he said.  &amp;quot;They&amp;#039;ve got three big changes: it&amp;#039;s Sherlock Holmes in America, it&amp;#039;s Sherlock Holmes updated and it&amp;#039;s Sherlock Holmes with a female Watson. I wonder if he&amp;#039;s Sherlock Holmes in any sense other than he&amp;#039;s called Sherlock Holmes?&amp;quot; Moffat confirmed that CBS opted to produce Elementary after being denied the rights to remake Sherlock, but insisted that he does not resent the network. &amp;quot;I don&amp;#039;t want it to sound like [co-creator] Mark [Gatiss] and I don&amp;#039;t want other people to try this,&amp;quot; he explained. &amp;quot;We welcome it, but don&amp;#039;t damage the brand.&amp;quot; Elementary will air on Thursdays at 10pm on CBS this fall.
