Rating: - The master
The title of this review refers not to Holmes himself, master though he may have been, but to the incomparable Jeremy Brett. Truly, there can be no other actor who has played Sherlock Holmes, who so utterly nailed the role and character of the man as Brett did. An amazing talent and one of acting's most tragic losses.

Now, the series...

This is a unique example among screen adaptations of works of literature: the on-screen product actually surpasses the original written ... Read More

Rating: - A Fitting Tribute To Jeremy Brett
What can i say about this fabulous box set. This is a must have for any fan of Sherlock Holmes. This is a masterpeice TV Series. Superbly acted by all, David Burke and Edward Hardwicke are wonderful.

Even when he looks most ill, towards the end, any time Brett/Holmes is absent from the action the story-telling seems to lose some intensity and purpose. Edward Hardwicke is surely also the best Watson put to the screen - the sometimes puzzled and exasperated, but always faithful companion ... Read More

Rating: - Best UK TV series ever.
I am a longtime fan of the stories and of the Basil Rathbone incarnation.
I was surprised at how quickly I elevated Brett's Holmes above all others.
It is the quirky features the sudden yelps and twitches that set this Holmes apart, brilliant and consistent performance from Brett. If you like detective series this is the best, if you like Victorian period drama it does not get better. If you like TV at all, and I am no big fan, then you will enjoy this. All praise to ITV for capturing ... Read More
