The first three shows were excellent.

Nobody will replace Jeremy Brett.

Wonderful news! These were excellent shows and I love how they adapted everything to present day.

Sherlock is so damn unlikeable, just as he should be.

A Scandal In Belgravia

Uh, the Sherlock Holmes story is called A Scandal in Bohemaia, and was the first Sherlock Holmes story. (After two novels) The one with, "the woman," Irene Adler.

I’ve seen all of these. And they just put them on Netflix instant.

It is set in modern day, but it actually feels more authentic than the movie recently made with Downey.

Of course, there is nothing like the Jeremy Brett series, which is also on instant Netflix.

Of course, Basil was The one and only.........

The problem with these new comers, especially in the new movies, is that the actors have no stage experience, and even Jeremy Brett, mumbled.....

Without the proper training that comes from having to speak intelligibly so you can be understood, even when speaking softly, these newer Holmes all lose the audience....

Jeremy Brett had the advantage of the real Doyle stories, which Basil never did, (except for Hound....) and in the Sherlock series, the last episode was from hunger....IMHO....

Robert Downey needs to understand that if he cannot speak and be understood, he might as well not talk at all.....no offense
