Sherlock Holmes (1984) is een Britse detectiveserie van de zender ITV1. De serie ging in première op 24 april 1984.
De briljante detective Sherlock Holmes is een creatie van de arts en schrijver Sir A. Conan Doyle en is een van de beroemdste en populairste detectives ter wereld. De avonturen van Sherlock Holmes zijn meerdere malen verfilmd. In deze serie wordt de rol van Sherlock Holmes gespeeld door Jeremy Brett die wel de "beste Sherlock Holmes tot nu toe wordt genoemd.
Cumberbatch comes very close, but still can't match Brett as Sherlock. He brought Doyle's stories and books to life before my eyes. That's how I imagined Holmes in my imagination, exactly like that. It's a shame that Brett died prematurely so that he was never able to finish the series he desperately wanted to make. So now I do it with the DVD series and 1 x a year Cumberbatch or 3x. And yes, I hear you shout and then Elemantry. Not even close, not even close, but fun.
Jeremy Brett is a genius in the role of Sherlock Holmes. He has studied the character Holmes excellently and then portrayed it superbly. Sherlock Holmes's life also has a wonderful parallel with Brett's real life. During the end of the series, Brett got really sick and the character Sherlock Holmes started to show more and more "flaws". You could tell from the body language, the facial expressions (and probably a lot of make-up) that he was no longer the jump in the field of the first season ..... Personally I find more depth and structure in the character of Holmes in Elementary are then in Cumberbatch's rendition of Holmes. Perhaps unfair comparison if a series is broadcast weekly and counts 22 episodes.
Brilliant. In my opinion unbeatable. Jeremy Brett is Sherlock ...!. Charles Gray puts on a great rendition of Mycroft. Too bad he only plays a number of episodes. You really imagine yourself in that time. The clothing, environment, the way in which the population lived and how they spoke: civilized sentences with expensive words, almost formal but also poetic, all in all very realistic, are (again) enjoying themselves.
