Three years since Sherlock Holmes appeared to meet his death at the Reichenbach Falls he reappears, very much alive! Ably assisted by his friend Dr Watson he proceeds to continue to solve crimes in his own inimitable fashion. His brush with death has not dimmed his enormous powers of deduction. The cases he faces will need all his knowledge and deductive abilities.
Excellent detective series, superbly adapted from Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's novels and short stories. With The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes this is quite easily the definitive adaption of the novels as it replicates the Victorian England setting and atmosphere so perfectly. (I like 'Sherlock' (2010-2017) even more but that has a modern setting).
Clever plots, well produced and executed. Aiding the quality of the show immensely is the performance of Jeremy Brett as Sherlock Holmes. It is worth watching just for the little quirks and facial expressions he imbues Holmes with. An acting masterclass.
Not quite as good as the Adventures of Sherlock Holmes though. That seemed darker, grittier and was generally more tension-filled and engaging. The writing in this series is a bit less polished than in the Adventures of Sherlock Holmes.
