The character of Detective Robert Goren (Vincent D'Onofrio) is based on the popular fictional character of Sherlock Holmes, but instead of relying upon physical evidence like Holmes, Goren focuses on psychology to identify the perpetrators, whom he often draws into confessing or yielding condemning evidence. Goren also works with a John Watson like partner in Detective Alexandra Eames (Kathryn Erbe) and works for Inspector Lestrade type commanding officers Captain James Deakins (Jamey Sheridan) and Captain Danny Ross (Eric Bogosian) The character of Nicole Wallace (Olivia d'Abo) is a direct attempt to play on the part of Sherlock Holmes' female antagonist Irene Adler, also known as "The Woman". Wallace is employed as a "Professor of Literature" during her first appearance, which could be a parallel to Holmes' nemesis Professor Moriarty. Other fictional 21st Century Detectives inspired by Sherlock Holmes are: Dr Gil Grissom and D.B. Russell are both from CSI - Scena del crimine (2000).Adrian Monk from Detective Monk (2002).Shawn Spencer from Psych (2006).Patrick Jane from The Mentalist (2008).Also, even though he doesn't use his detective skills to solve crimes, Medical Doctor Gregory House from Dr. House - Medical Division (2004), uses Sherlock Holme's investigative technique to diagnose medical diseases.
