Reviews & comments

Brilliant series with an even more brilliant Brett. Compared to this authentic series, which closely follows Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's original stories, the newer Downey Jr. films are a joke.

Bought the whole series in a box a few years ago. Unfortunately, the TV films (which are included in the English box) were missing and I had to buy them separately to have everything complete.

Brett portrays Holmes perfectly, arrogant, self-righteous and totally disrespectful to nobles, or statesmen. When he is tired of them and has heard enough, he waves them away.

This first season has some of the best stories, such as the Dancing Men and The solitary cyclist. As a viewer you have no idea how it works.

Immediately in the first episode we get to see Holmes' great love: Irene Adler. Holmes hates to admit it, but this woman is the only one who really impresses him.

I ignored this series for a long time, but my father has always been a big fan of it. That's why I gave it a chance and I really liked it. The praise for Jeremy Brett is completely justified: he is quite simply the best Sherlock Holmes interpreter I have ever seen. While reading one of Arthur Conan Doyle's books, I constantly picture Brett when Holmes is speaking. David Burke also plays a pleasing role as his loyal friend Dr. Watson. The series looks old-fashioned at first glance, but it serves the atmosphere extremely well. The mysteries to be explored in these episodes are all, without exception, quite intriguing and it is conveyed convincingly to the viewer. A lot of attention has also been paid to matters such as sets, costumes and design. Could the atmosphere from the books have been approached better? I do not think so.

4*
