Elementary

 "Elementary is a cerebral mystery series that puts a fresh spin on a well-worn tale without overstepping its license to rewrite the classic. One major difference is evident from the start, and while purists might not immediately love the gender (and ethnic) swap in Watson's character, Liu will win over skeptics with her thoughtful performance of a former doctor who's still licking her own wounds from the past while trying to help Holmes escape his inner demons. The two make a pair worthy of the classic characters they play, and the notable absence of sexual attraction or tension between them is a refreshing departure from many other primetime series.
Mystery buffs will revel in this new addition to the TV repertoire that relies on sharp writing and fascinating character development to appease the potential of its superb casting. Happily, because the show doesn't need to delve into sensational content like violence or sex to fill gaps in its fantastic stories, this is a great options for sturdy teens with an appetite for mystery."

"[..]The Flash is an action-adventure series inspired by a DC Comics character that's slightly less intense than its parent show, Arrow. There's still plenty of superhero-style conflict with a fair amount of more traditional violence (gunfire, car crashes, and a few dead bodies), but the Flash's power is speed, which he uses to escape danger or overpower villains' attempts at evil rather than to fight. [...] The Flash's solid sense of right and wrong makes him a decent role model, despite the fact that he keeps secrets to protect his identity. A subplot follows his quest to learn the truth behind his mother's murder many years ago, which recalls scenes of her death by mysterious forces." (Common Sense Media).
