Despite her issues with Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie fondly remembers their film together and ranks it as one of her favorite movies. Jolie and Pitt shared impeccable chemistry when they were paired together in the 2005 film Mr. & Mrs. Smith. The chemistry eventually transitioned into a full-blown romance.

This relationship, however, caused a prominent scandal after Angelina Jolie was accused of causing Pitt and Jennifer Aniston to split. The former couple played a married couple who are secretly assassins belonging to competing agencies. Things go wrong between them when they are assigned to kill each other.

According to RadarOnline, Jolie not only had the film as one of her favorites but also spoke about how it brought her together with Pitt in real life. She shared that starting a proper relationship with Pitt came as a surprise to her, as she believed that she would always be a single mom.

Arthur Conan Doyle’s iconic detective Sherlock Holmes has long fascinated filmmakers around the world, and rightly so. Before taking on the role of the Man of Steel in James Gunn’s upcoming film Superman, David Corenswet made a brief appearance in a lesser-known screen adaptation of the famous sleuth. No, we are not talking about Robert Downey Jr.’s movies or Benedict Cumberbatch’s acclaimed series. The show in question is Elementary — a critically acclaimed yet often-overlooked reimagining of Sherlock Holmes. Read on to find out what it’s about and where to stream it in India.

You can’t keep a good serial killer down — especially not when there’s IP to exploit.

Dexter Morgan is set to return (again) in Dexter: Resurrection, despite being definitively killed off in New Blood and then casually voiceover-resurrected in Original Sin (a show I loved).

But before Showtime unpacks another bloody chapter, we took a trip down memory lane. And let’s just say… wow. The things we overlooked the first time around? Absolutely unhinged.

Dexter is poised for yet another chapter. And frankly, it’s the perfect time to revisit the madness that got us here.

While rewatching the series, I noticed just how many moments — big, small, and plastic-wrapped — have aged into either brilliant nuance or total unhinged chaos.

From bizarre kill rituals to forgotten guest stars, these are the 37 things living rent-free in my head.

Watson is far from the first TV show to explore the iconic characters of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle with a modern twist. In fact, it’s not even the first one on CBS. Before the current drama, returning in 2026 for its second season, starring Morris Chestnut as Dr. John Watson, Elementary starred Jonny Lee Miller and Lucy Liu as Sherlock Holmes and Joan Watson, respectively. Craig Sweeny, who created Watson, was an executive producer on Elementary. So could there ever be any type of crossover, even if it’s just casting, between the two? Morris Chestnut is all for Lucy Liu appearing on Watson. “I’m trying to track her down and get her to come on our show because, yes, that would be great if we could get her,” he told Deadline. Since we doubt she’d appear as Joan (but how great would it be if she did?...

Danny Boyle never thought Trainspotting would transform his career.The 68-year-old director helmed the 1996 drama film - which starred the likes of Ewan McGregor, Jonny Lee Miller and Robert Carlyle - but Danny never imagined that the movie would become such a huge success.Asked if he expected the film to kick-start his career, Danny told The Hollywood Reporter: "No. Absolutely not. "In fact, I remember there was a wave of disapproval of it building. They had shown a trailer or something on one of the TV movie shows here. And one of the prestigious critics said, 'Well, that looks shockingly irresponsible about drugs.' Things like that were building.

Watson star Morris Chestnut recently shared his hopes for Elementary's Lucy Liu to make an appearance on his Sherlock Holmes show. While the shows are currently unrelated, their creative teams do have some overlap.

Per Deadline, Chestnut talked about wanting to 'track down' Liu to get her to appear on his show. Watson was created by Craig Sweeney, who also executive produced Elementary, where Liu starred as Dr. Joan Watson. "I'm trying to track her down and get her to come on our show because, yes, that would be great if we could get her," Chestnut said. He added that there are no talks with Liu, but he is "serious" about trying to have her appear in CBS's latest adaptation of the Sherlock Holmes stories. Chestnut is also an executive producer for the series.

Watson premiered on CBS in January, putting a medical drama twist on the usual Sherlock Holmes-style mysteries.

Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt met in 1998 through their managers, and they immediately hit it off. Their relationship was highly publicized and they were once the it couple of Hollywood. Pitt was racing to the top with exceptional roles, while Aniston was at the peak of her fame with her role in Friends. However, things didn’t last long between them.

Angelina Jolie and Pitt’s relationship had alleged overlaps with his marriage to Aniston. It is widely believed that it was the affair with Jolie that ended Pitt and Aniston’s marriage. After Pitt divorced Aniston, the Mr. & Mrs. Smith stars started dating and married in 2014. Two years later, the marriage ended after Jolie filed for divorce.

TV has tackled Sherlock Holmes many times over the years, most recently with the BBC’s Sherlock (Benedict Cumberbatch) and the long-running Elementary (Jonny Lee Miller). Currently, there’s Watson with the good doctor as the main character (played by Morris Chestnut) and a missing Holmes (voiced by Matt Berry in a hallucination). Lifelong Sherlock Holmes devotee executive producer Brendan Foley joins the crowd with his new show about the world’s most famous detective, Sherlock & Daughter. In this take, the executive producer wanted it to be set in foggy Victorian London for canon fans, while inviting newcomers in with the introduction of Amelia Rojas (a feisty Blu Hunt), an independent and determined young American woman. “Amelia crashes into the life of Holmes [a perfectly cast prickly David Thewlis, who, like Foley, is a major Holmes fan] like a meteorite,” says Foley. She announces he’s her father and insisting that he investigate the...

Watson, the CBS medical mystery-drama loosely based on Sherlock Holmes’s trusty sidekick, Watson, from Arthur Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes book series, has been renewed for a second season. Per The Hollywood Reporter, the Morris Chestnut-led Watson was picked up for its second season just halfway through its first.

Watson has garnered steady ratings since it premiered in late January 2025. The show, which airs on Sunday nights on CBS, had 9.58 million viewers during its debut episode following the NFL’s AFC Championship game on Jan. 26. The premiere episode, over five weeks, had 18.7 cross-platform viewers with 7 million watching on Paramount+. The Paramount+ number marks the highest viewership on the streamer for the current television season.

Per Nielsen’s linear data, Watson has just below 6.8 million viewers per episode. Those numbers include DVR playback but not streaming. The renewal comes even though the series has a less-than-stellar 33% Rotten Tomatoes audience score.

Quick Links Who Is the Child Killer in Dexter: Original Sin? Dexter: Original Sin Spends Too Much Time on Sofia Dexter: Original Sin Is Wasting Sarah Michelle Gellar

The following contains major spoilers from Dexter: Original Sin Season 1, Episode 6, "The Big Bad Body Problem," which debuted Friday, Jan. 24 on Paramount+ and airs Sunday, Jan. 26 on Showtime.

Dexter: Original Sin Season 1, Episode 7, "The Big Bad Body Problem" reveals the identity of the child killer who murdered Jimmy Powell and abducted Nicky Spencer. It's a macabre twist that will leave fans of the original series wondering why they didn't figure it out sooner. But despite a title that sounds exciting, little else happens in an hour that suggests viewers might not have needed a Dexter prequel.

"The Big Bad Body Problem" refers to the cliffhanger from Episode 6, in which Dexter Morgan realized the police had discovered where he likes to dispose of his victims.

Six years after Elementary went off the air, the Jonny Miller and Lucy Liu-led Sherlock Holmes adaptation is finally getting its spiritual successor. Elementary was an underrated Sherlock Holmes series set in modern times. Jonny Lee Miller's Holmes was a recovering opioid addict who worked closely with Liu's Watson, who was the first female version of Holmes' famous assistant. Together, the two assisted the police department in solving difficult cases that the cops could not crack on their own.

There have been several other adaptations of the Sherlock Holmes novels, most notably the BBC's Sherlock. However, Elementary was better than Sherlock in many respects, most notably that it humanized Holmes more than any other adaptation has done. Rather than being a genius who is hard to relate to, Miller's Holmes had serious character flaws as well as strengths, which made Elementary a more interesting and relatable series.

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt’s long-running divorce saga has officially come to an end. After eight years of legal struggles, the former Hollywood power couple is now officially divorced. The two, who married in 2014, had six children together, and their relationship was one of the most talked-about in the entertainment industry.

The duo, once regarded as one of Hollywood’s most iconic couples, had a fairy-tale wedding in 2014. However, just two years later, they announced their separation. Despite Jolie’s serious accusations, including claims of abuse, Brad Pitt denied the allegations, and the divorce process became a prolonged legal battle. Now, after nearly a decade of courtroom disputes, their divorce has been finalized, bringing an end to their tumultuous separation.

James Simon, Jolie’s attorney, confirmed the end of the legal battle, revealing that the process had started more than eight years ago when Angelina filed for divorce.

Hackers is one of the most underrated movies of the 1990s, and while it is popular with audiences, its Rotten Tomatoes score is surprisingly low. Hackers was not an immediate success, but it has become a cult hit over time. Many of the best-known 1990s movies contain a cast that was already famous at the time, but Hackers is unusual as it features several early-career appearances of actors who went on to become major stars. Hackers is often considered one of Angelia Jolie's best 1990s movies and also stars Jonny Lee Miller, Laurence Mason, and Matthew Lillard.

Hackers is about a group of high school students who use their tech skills to stop an evil corporation from taking over the world using a computer virus. It is one of the earliest movies to explore the potential behind modern computers, for better or worse. While Hackers contains many examples of things movies get wrong about hacking,...

Angelina Jolie has always been known for her bold choices, both in her personal life and her career. Before her much-publicized relationship with Brad Pitt, she was married to Billy Bob Thornton, a singer-songwriter and actor. Their relationship, which began in the early 2000s, stood out because of its unique and unconventional expressions of love. This included matching tattoos and even wearing vials of each other’s blood as necklaces.

However, their whirlwind romance came to an end in 2003, just three years after their marriage. Among the remnants of their intense relationship was a tattoo on Jolie’s body that included Thornton’s name. Many wonder if getting a tattoo for love is worth the trouble, especially if the love fades.

Watson looks like it's going to be a fantastic mix of genres for CBS and here's what to know about it!

There have been scores of TV shows based on Sherlock Holmes, including CBS's own Elementary, starring Jonny Lee Miller as a modern version of the iconic detective. This take was interesting with Lucy Liu as Joan Watson, a very capable assistant to Sherlock and a good detective in her own right. 

Now, CBS is going back to the well with the upcoming Watson which looks like an interesting mix of the Holmes mythos and the Fox series House (which makes sense as Holmes inspired that). The first trailer hints at the great mixing of medical and crime drama that should make this a standout show!

What is Watson about?

The show takes place months after the apparent death of Sherlock Holmes as John Watson (Morris Chestnut) is still in mourning.

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie were once the ultimate power couple in Hollywood. Everyone was enamored with their undeniable chemistry and larger-than-life romance. They first bonded on the sets of Mr. & Mrs. Smith, and when their relationship was made public, everyone thought that it was meant to last forever.

But behind the allure, there was a heartbreaking narrative, particularly about Jolie’s perspective on love, her past experiences, and the unlikelihood of their union. So how did this romance unfold, and what did the actress feel after it was all over?

Sherlock and Elementary may have the same premise, but the shows are different enough for fans of Arthur Conan Doyles character to watch both without worrying about comparisons. CBSs Elementary premiered in 2012, two years after BBCs Sherlock debuted. Between the Robert Downey Jr.-led Sherlock movies and the BBC show, Sherlock Holmes was experiencing a popularity resurgence in the early 2010s that made an American show all but inevitable. Still, given that Elementary would also be about a contemporary version of the character, comparisons between the CBS show and the Benedict Cumberbatch one quickly dominated the conversation.

Jonny Lee Miller played a very different contemporary Sherlock Holmes from Benedict Cumberbatch, and that was only one of many differences between the CBS procedural and the BBC show. However, considering that Elementary came out when Sherlock was at its peak both in terms of popularity and quality the American show would often...

Watson has a premiere date. CBS has announced that the upcoming Sherlock Holmes adaptation will premiere early next year, following the AFC Championship game.

Per Deadline, Watson, starring Morris Chestnut as Dr. John Watson, is set to premiere on CBS on Sunday, Jan. 26, 2025, at approximately 10 p.m. Et (depending on the game's end time). The medical drama series will then return to its regular time slot on Sunday, Feb. 16 at 10:00 p.m. Et/Pt. Inspired by the characters from Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes mysteries, Watson takes place six months after the death of the titular character's friend and partner Sherlock Holmes at the hands of Moriarty. Watson was created by Craig Sweeny, who previously worked on CBS' other Sherlock Holmes series, the Jonny Lee Miller-led Elementary.

It’s not often I’d be talking about Agatha Christie, Renny Harlin, Val Kimer and LL Cool J in the same breath, but thanks to the world of Tinseltown magic, here we are! And, before you’re mis-led into thinking this video is about the great Netflix show of the same name, let me just set the record straight. This ain’t that one folks. Nope, the movie we’re focusing on today somehow manages to blend the classic British literary world of Agatha Christie with LL Cool J spitting out lines like. That’s right gore-hounds, twenty years ago director Renny Harlin was best known for action classics, pirate movies, dangling Sylvester Stallone from great heights and giant sharks; way before the likes of The Meg and more recently, Under Paris. Then, an intriguing project came his way that would blend the worlds of Agatha Christie and gangster rappers,...

Seven seasons of a Sherlock Holmes police procedural series landing on streaming in just over a week? Sounds Elementary, my dear Watson. Prime Video has announced that all seven seasons of Elementary, which aired from 2012 to 2019, will officially begin streaming on the platform on September 9. Elementary stars Jonny Lee Miller as Sherlock Holmes and Lucy Liu as Dr. Joan Watson, the two titular characters who have been tasked to crack the NYPD's most impossible cases. The series picks up when Holmes escapes from London only to make it to New York to find his new roommate, Watson. In addition to Miller and Liu, Elementary also stars Aidan Quinn, Jon Michael Hill, John Noble, and Ophelia Lovibond, and currently sits at impressive scores of 95% from critics and 89% from general audiences on Rotten Tomatoes.

Although BBCs Sherlock is still missed, there are still plenty of other brilliant TV shows that can fill the gap. Benedict Cumberbatchs Sherlock Holmes is one of the best TV detectives ever, as well as one of the strongest interpretations of the legendary fictional character. Arthur Conan Doyles Sherlock novels, which are about the extremely intelligent and blunt London detective, have received several direct and indirect adaptations over the years.

However, the BBCs version is absolutely one of the best TV shows of all time. Even in 2024, the iconic figure is still returning to screens in different forms, and many Sherlock Holmes movies and TV shows are currently in development. While its tempting to just stick with Holmes and Watson, many other TV shows are just as compelling and intriguing that rival Sherlock. Crime dramas can vary in terms of format, characters, and stories, but multiple TV shows have a similar atmosphere to Sherlock.

Elementary ran for 7 seasons, releasing more than 150 episodes, outperforming other Sherlock adaptations in continuity. Elementary provides a modern, contemporary twist to the classic Holmes stories, setting itself apart from traditional adaptations. Elementary holds higher ratings than Sherlock and challenges originality by offering new adventures and well-defined characters.

Sherlock Holmes is one of the most popular fictional characters of all time, but screen adaptations have struggled to properly capture the detective, until Elementary came along. Over the years, the popular works by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle have been adapted dozens of times. Most of the time, this adaptation takes the form of a movie, but some series have been able to adapt the character for a more extensive period. However, in recent history, the most popular adaptations of Holmes featured Robert Downey Jr. in the titular role for the 2009 movie, and its sequel, and the BBC series, Sherlock, starring Benedict Cumberbatch.

Sherlock Holmes has been adapted in so many ways that there’s no point in partaking in any kind of pearl clutching activities anymore. Of course, the adaptations featuring Basil Rathbone, Peter Cushing, Jeremy Brett, Michael Caine, Robert Downey Jr., Ian McKellen, Benedict Cumberbatch, and even Jonny Lee Miller will be celebrated by fans of Arthur Conan Doyle’s work. But they also have to deal with the likes of Holmes & Watson, Enola Holmes, Sherlock Gnomes, and Sherlock Holmes in the 22nd century. And you’d think that after a show with a female Sherlock Holmes, a play in which Sherlock and Watson are in a gay relationship, and an animated series by Hayao Miyazaki where the characters are anthropomorphic animals, there’s no way that a new adaptation can surprise you. Well, Shekhar Home asks you to think otherwise.

Directed by Srijit Mukherji and Ronny Sippy, Shekhar Home takes place in the ’90s,...

CBS is developing a Van Helsing series with a modern-day crime fighter twist. Written by Jonathan Lee and from Elementary creator Rob Doherty, the show will focus on Dr. Abraham Van Helsing and ex-fbi agent Mina Harker.

Edgar Allan Poe's C. Auguste Dupin in 1841's "The Murders in the Rue Morgue" is the first fictional detective to appear in literature, but Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes is hands down the most well-known detective in all of pop culture. 

Identifying himself as a "consulting" detective, Sherlock Holmes is intelligent beyond all reason, analytical to a fault, and emotionally distant due to his obsessions with logic. But when he's hot on the case in an investigation, his flair for the dramatics kicks in and he lives to show off his findings. Not because he wants to be the center of attention, but because he must let everyone know just how brilliant he is for cracking the case. He's also a morally questionable individual, who has no problems lying to law enforcement or committing petty crimes of his own if it means getting one step closer to solving the mystery.
