Sherlock Holmes
Jeremy Brett is Sherlock Holmes.
Created by John Hawkesworth
On ITV1
A cerebral, period-faithful adaptation of the Holmes canon that prioritizes puzzle-solving and the partnership between Holmes and Watson over action or darkness.
Sherlock Holmes uses his abilities to take on cases by private clients and those that the Scotland Yard are unable to solve, along with his friend Dr. Watson.
