It's not a copy, however twisted. It is its own show. People have been making versions of Sherlock forever. Elementary is certainly NOT canon. But interesting none the less, and Lucy Liu as Watson is a brilliant idea. I do not try to judge it with anything like what I would expect of, say, Jeremy Brett's portrayal, which was clearly and directly canon. Nor even the UK Sherlock, which while not directly canon is clearly trying to stay as close as modern times makes feasible. I enjoy both shows, and don't feel that they directly compete or compare.
