Immensely surprised by This Series


I was immensely surprised by this series. I never imagined that there was such a good Sherlock available, and filmed so long ago. In my opinion, Jeremy Brett is a genius. He is Sherlock incarnate. The illusion is perfect. The suspension of disbelief is complete. Nobody else could have played Sherlock with such energy, creating the true character of the eccentric investigator. I just bought the DVD collection and I plan to watch it many times over the years.

Agreed....I adore Rathbone as Holmes, always will ... But Brett is the master, complete genius.

The best Sherlock there's been,just as he is depicted in the books. Also the best version of Watson too.

I grew up (am I that old?) with these, and the Basil Rathbone feature length ones, and I love them both for different reasons.

The Rathbone ones because if the counterpoint between Holmes and the bumbling Watson.

The Brett ones, because as others have said, these are the most faithful reproductions of the written word.
