About
"The performance that redefined Holmes on screen"
This is the Granada Television adaptation that many consider the definitive screen Sherlock Holmes, with Jeremy Brett bringing a twitchy, brilliant, faintly unsettling intensity to the detective as he and Dr. Watson work through cases adapted closely from Arthur Conan Doyle's original stories. Each episode is a self-contained mystery, shot with lush period detail and unhurried, literate pacing. It feels less like modern thriller television and more like watching beautifully mounted short stories, carried almost entirely by Brett's magnetic, increasingly mannered performance and the crisp Victorian atmosphere surrounding him.
Jeremy Brett's mercurial, definitive performance as Holmes, equal parts genius and barely contained mania.
you want fast modern pacing rather than measured, faithful Victorian-set mystery storytelling.
