The writing, the guest stars, and the stories are thought provoking. I usually do not look at a lot of the bloopers, extras, contained on each DVD but I did on season 5. Just one of the producers stating how they challenge themselves as writers to truly stump one of the world's greatest detectives is quite reassuring. I love how intricate little plots are contained to keep this from being run of the mill, ho-hum cases.
I enjoyed the late, RIP, Nelsan Ellis as Shinwell Johnson. His story, seemingly, run of the mill, contained interesting plot points and truly showed a man who wanted to change and repent for past sins but was unable to escape from some of his past indiscretions. His last encounter with Sherlock was totally unexpected.
I enjoyed Marcus' storyline w/Chantell, too. Kitty's return two -parter was very good. However, my favorite episode was the one with the brilliant, Isaiah Whitlock, Jr. It was brilliantly acted, well crafted(please look at the extras on this episode re: the flashbacks). Lucy and Isaiah were especially solid. There climatic scene in the diner and Isaiah's realization as to what Joan did for him was full of emotion. I was actually brought to tears. It was a very, very, good scene, exchange between the two. Even, Gregson and Joan's summation as to what just occurred in the diner was quite touching. Just a great episode.
Robert Hewitt Wolfe, one of my favorite writers from his DS9 days, pens some of the most interesting stories. It continues this season. Just not to single him out because of all the writers do an EXCEPTIONAL job with this show. Again, I am biased because Wolfe was an integral part of one of my all time favorites, DS9.
I have to mention the BRILLIANT composer, Sean Callery. His work is always exceptional. Solid work on past series like 24 and Homeland, continues on Elementary this season. His music and the songs he selects for usually closing scenes is just great. 'My Morning Jacket' and their 'Waterfall' album is a favorite of mine as a result of he using 'Tropics(Erase Traces)' at the conclusion of the Isaiah Whitlock episode.
Like many have mentioned, I watch all the episodes on CBS and I own every season on DVD, too. This series is a guilty pleasure of mine and I really wish it had better ratings on CBS. I really believe the suits know it is quality but one of these days Les Moonves is going to be forced to cancel it because of its so-so ratings. I know it is a mid season replacement, 13 episode series this fall, so I really hope this is not its swan song. Like Tony Randall told Jack Klugman during the Odd Couple's, five year run on ABC, 70-75, their show will be found and appreciated in syndication. I think this is what will occur with Elementary. Its quality will be appreciated by a larger audience in syndication, DVD purchases, Amazon/Netflix viewing, etc.
I watch perhaps five shows on network/cable/streaming outlets, of all the truly good shows out there... but the only one I cannot miss, is Elementary.
Having watched since Season 1... I'm not sure how anyone can say quality's dropped off. Sure there were arcs that described pretty intense stories and characters in this and prior seasons... but to me one of the hallmarks of Elementary, is its subtlety and sophistication using emotion and 'yang', in its storytelling. Some may call those EPs with less sprinting or shouting or overtly-tense continuity, a drop in quality... but I appreciate that some stories are complete one-offs, self-contained, without tendrils (or at least obvious ones) to EPs as recent as the previous few. I love how the focus on the work they do, doesn't mean ignoring the obvious problems Sherlock brings to each case, and how Joan and the rest of the cast deal with that... but it doesn't crutch on grand, broad, or clumsy brushstrokes to depict it. At the end of each EP, there's none of the swagger/chest punch of an SVU EP (no longer watch), nor the *gasp* factor of a Blindspot EP (no longer watch), nor the endless who-did-who as on Scandal (no longer watch). A mystery caper is embarked on, legwork is done, keen observations made, conclusions reached, bad guy is confronted, outsmarted and put away... occasionally relationships come into the story and things are talked about intelligently and articulately (Lucy's Joan is amazing at being the worthy adult and equal to Jonny's Sherlock) -- all in a manner that relaxes yet reliably brings a smile to my face, after a long week of work...
So no complaints about S5. After a childhood filled with Knight Rider, A-Team, Buck Rogers, Magnum, P.I. and other Stephen Cannell & Glen A. Larson turn-off-yer-brain, Chrysler-K-Car-hollow fluff... I'm grateful to live in a modern era of high quality shows (oddly enough, one of GAL's early hits, Quincy, M.E., was and is, still an exception to his awful '80s legacy).
TL;DR -- if you like your whodunits told with a focus on the detective work, with quiet introspection and amazing writing, & the minimum possible dependence on petty drama and fight/flight response triggers... Elementary is the show for you. I like my brain squeezed, not my amygdala.
In Season Five the writers of "Elementary" have done exactly that. The mysteries are still the primary focus of each episode but there was a concerted effort to help viewers get inside the heads of the main characters. Capt. Gregson, for example, wants to re-marry even though the woman he is in love with has a debilitating illness; Watson feels somewhat unfulfilled because she isn't helping people the way she once did; Marcus Bell has a tragic secret that he has kept hidden for most of his life; and Sherlock has an unexpected issue to deal with.
This season also has an ongoing story that ties into some of those efforts to deepen the characters: The introduction of a former gang member that Watson once saved after he had been shot. It is an intriguing storyline for many reasons but chief among them - in my opinion - is the fact that the former gangster is a complex character. The complexity of Shinwell Johnson - the former gang member - throws Sherlock and Watson into a season-long conflict and is interesting all on its own.
The mysteries themselves are intriguing including one that re-introduces the character of former Sherlock protegee Kitty Winter.
It comes down to this: There is a very good reason why "Elementary" has lasted five seasons and, for me, the refusal of its writers to keep its characters static is that reason.

Thank you to the cast, crew and all involved for sharing this incredible series!! Beautifully wrapped up and set into the annuals of the Holmes history forever.
Les épisodes sont trés bien conçus et pas "fait" d' histoires "bateaux" comme dans malheureusement certaines séries françaises toutes calquées sur le même modéle ou pâles copies des séries américaines ou anglaises.
J'avais acheté en Pré commande afin d'être certaine de la recevoir à temps.
Je n'ai trouvé ce mode de fonctionnement que sur AMAZON où bien évidemment je commanderai la prochaine saison
