5.0 out of 5 stars London's Only "Consulting Detective.", Nov 2 2008
By Themis-Athena (from somewhere between California and Germany) - See all my reviews
(TOP 10 REVIEWER)   
In his foreword to Bantam's "Sherlock Holmes: The Complete Novels and Stories," Loren Estleman called the relationship between Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson literature's warmest, most symbiotic and most timeless: rightfully so. Not surprisingly, film history is littered with adaptations of Conan Doyle's tales and Holmes pastiches (using the protagonists but otherwise independent storylines). Yet - and I'm saying this with particular apologies to the fans of the Basil Rathbone/Nigel Bruce canon - none of these prior incarnations can hold a candle to the ITV/Granada TV series produced between 1984 and 1994, starring Jeremy Brett as Holmes and first David Burke, then, beginning with the second ("Return of Sherlock Holmes") cycle and in near-seamless transition, Edward Hardwicke as a refreshingly sturdy, pragmatic, unbumbling Dr. Watson.

Jeremy Brett was the only actor who ever managed to perfectly portray Holmes's imperiousness, bitingly ironic sense of humor and apparently indestructible self-control without at the same time neglecting his genuine friendship towards Dr. Watson and the weaknesses hidden below a surface dominated by his overarching intellectual powers. The series takes the titles of its four cycles of shorter episodes - "The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes," "The Return of Sherlock Holmes," "The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes" and "The Casebook of Sherlock Holmes" - from four of the five short story collections featuring London's self-appointed only "consulting detective" (published 1892, 1905, 1894 and 1927, respectively); thus nominally omitting the 1917 collection "His Last Bow," which is, however - but for its title story - completely represented in individual episodes spread out over the other four cycles. While the grouping of instalments doesn't necessarily correspond with Conan Doyle's original story collections, and the series's premise - Holmes's and Watson's shared tenancy of rooms at 221B Baker Street - was no longer true even at the beginning of the "Adventures," this excellently produced series is a must-have for any mystery fan. This is particularly true for the first two cycles ("Adventures" and "Return") and the movie-length versions of the novels "The Hound of the Baskervilles" and "The Sign of the Four," which alone makes this set well worth the purchase; even if the movie-length dramatizations of the short stories "The Eligible Bachelor" (a/k/a "The Noble Bachelor") and "The Last Vampyre" (a/k/a "The Sussex Vampyre") are less than faithful to Conan Doyle's originals: in fact, their quality rests almost exclusively on an already ailing Jeremy Brett's shoulders (as well as in "Vampyre" on the extraordinary guest performance of Roy Marsden in the episode's title role), thus emphasizing even more the significance of Brett's achievement.

This set contains (in "volumes" or episodes grouped on discs as originally released):

5.0 out of 5 stars An Outstanding Collection, Jun 20 2008
By R. Widdowson (Ontario Canada) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Six stars!! This is an outstanding collection of dramatic representations of the stories of Sherlock Holmes. Both the artistic and production values are very high.

The scripts are well-written, the directing is fine, and the acting is wonderfully good, especially Jeremy Brett who captured the role flawlessly. He is brilliant: cold, self-centered, at times ruthless in both his logic and his treatment of intellectual inferiors; but, also, strangely considerate and even unexpectedly sweet to vulnerable souls.

The sets, costumes, and props are perfect, lending an air of credibility to the stories that is absolutely essential in order for us, the audience, to keep our attention on what really matters: the unfolding narrative.

Each one of the episodes is a pleasure to watch again and again and again. I first saw them on A & E (when it was the best network...before it crashed and burned), and was mesmerized. This is a sound investment and, I think, suitable for children (age 12 and up).

As a sidenote, the only other actor who played Holmes and came close to Brett in rightly interpreting the character was Robert Stephens, the Shakespearean actor, in The Private Life of Sherlock Holmes, written and directed by Billy Wilder. This is a fair re-invention of the character, if you consider only the last two-thirds of the movie. The first third is devoted to Wilder's personal fascination with the bizarre, casting an outlandish light on the main character. Despite this obvious flaw, Stephens plays the role well.

5.0 out of 5 stars Pure Brilliance, Jun 26 2008
By Tessa Miller (Canada) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I don't regret buying this for a second. Jeremy Brett is truly an amazing Sherlock, and David Burke and Edward Hardwicke both make excellent Watsons. The fact that there's few special features do nothing to bring down the awesomeness of these DVDs. If you're a fan of Brett or Sherlock, this set is essential. If you're not...well, you should pretty much get it anyway. The video and audio quality is excellent and the booklet gives extra little tidbits that you don't get from just watching the show.
