This is the best of Sherlock Holmes for the small screen, and better than most for the big screen. It is equal for the main character and original stories, to the David Suchet version of the Poirot character and original stories. Nothing second rate. As Jeremy Brett did his Holmes a good ten years before Suchet did his Poirot, there is a different look to the production between the two decades, but that is no distraction. Mr. Brett brought both an eccentricity and a humanity to the main character, that is seldom seen, and rarely as well balanced as he achieved. The completeness of the series is much appreciated as well, this is no 'best of' album of the characters tales. Well done and well worth watching from start to finish.
