The stories are engrossing, the actors convincing, the atmosphere and detailing (with few exceptions) authentic, and the sound so clear that the subtitles are not really necessary. Everything about these selections is of the highest order of intelligent cinema associated with the Sherlock Holmes of Jeremy Brett, the Father Brown of Kenneth More, and the Lord Wimsey of Edward Petherbridge. And they are entertaining! I recommend them without hesitation to discriminating lovers of the detective-story genre.
I shall place my order for Set 2 of this series as soon as Amazon begins taking orders for it. - James Komar

Well, I have waded through one disk of Series 1 but was not able to avoid dozing off a number of times. Does this suggest boredom? It does. To suggest, even remotely, that any of the central characters are actually "rivals" of Sherlock Holmes presents irony in rhetoric. The title stands to convey to the viewer an incongruity used as a tool of humor in order to deprecate or ridicule an idea or course of action. Not so. Sir Arthur's gem knows no equal and certainly this motley collection of so called sleuths do not even come close. So much for the title.
Although brimming with talented actors, hamming it up seems to be the order of the day. The actual solving of crimes, although liberally laced with old school tie dialogue, is limited. It results in comedy characterized by broad satire and improbable situations. Perhaps this was the intention.

It's a shame that the body of this work had to rely on using the " prestigious name of Sherlock Holmes in order to attract buyers but alas it is so.
Not worth the money , given the slight of hand.
