Richard Grenier New York Times 11/12/2018
Jeremy Brett makes a truly splendid Sherlock: vain, arrogant, imperious, rude. Go to Full Review John J. O'Connor New York Times 11/12/2018
[Jeremy Brett] is a bit of a dandy and a total narcissist. He is great fun to watch for a while, but he would probably be impossible to tolerate for any extended period of time. Go to Full Review Alex Westthorp Den of Geek 11/12/2018
In 1984 Granada television, fresh from the success of The Jewel In The Crown, produced an equally superb television adaptation of Sherlock Holmes. Go to Full Review Danilo Castro Screen Rant 11/12/2018

Glafira Regina O @Glafira_Regina Apr 11 The quality of a picture may not seem specifically encouraging, yet this is the only disadvantage. This series is for those who admire the beauty of the English countryside, the elegance and awe of the Victorian-Edwardian eras, and the overall sense of 'Britishness' and nostalgia. The actresses are most refined, and Sherlock Holmes himself appears to be a gentleman of sophisticated manners. See more 01/03/2022 The perfect adaptation of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's stories. Jeremy Brett expertly portrays Sherlock Holmes and the episodes are have tense buildups to a thrilling conclusion. See more 07/15/2019 The definitive Sherlock Holmes. True to the original Sir Arthur Conan Doyle stories. Jeremy Brett is perfect. See more Read all reviews
