Just โstumbledโ on this version. I simply love mysteries set in the Victorian age. As my favorite Holes has always been Basil Rathbone, I never heard of this version Comically. Upon watching the 1st episode, I thought this Holmes to be an ass***leโ. Little did I know that this is the most literal interpretation of Holmes. I am bingeing season 1, and I am totally booked. I agree he is the best Holmes I have seen.
I have seen approximately 10 of the dozens who have tried. But Jeremy Brett seems to be the critics and audience choice. Who am I to disagree
Also, I was very surprised to learn that Holmes was a โtweaker โ. Lol
Not that it really matters. But I strongly suspect and it appears that Holmes and Watson are a couple. In the early part of S1, Ep 11, THE RESIDENT PATIENT, the two share a spirited and delightful exchange in the.barbershop. There is mention of them attending a concert the night before. Then they are seen walking โarm in armโ down the street. While this could be seen as merely a strong friendship, I would counter it is much more. Again, it does not detract from the series, but it is curious to surmise.
