Summary: Great Stuff -- but Minor Subtitle Irritations
Comment: The subtitles are the only thing that I do not thoroughly enjoy about this series: (1) I can't get the subtitles to come up with the normal one-shot remote procedure; I have to go through the setup screen that comes with every episode. And (2) there are minor misspellings in the subtitles -- which (given the provenance of the series) ought to be an impossibility.

Summary: Addicted to Holmes
Comment: I must admit I came to the party a little late. I stumbled into the series on PBS. I with so impressed with the production even though it was done in the eighties. Jeremy Brett blows away the past portrayals by other actors in the past. The costumes are wonderful as well as the smart dialog and scenery. So over a short time of watching this once a week on PBS I found the whole 41 episode series.
My biggest disappointment is that Jeremy Brett had passed away at 62 in 1995 of heart failure at his London home before the project of filming all the Holmes stories could be completed. Brett's heart had been damaged by a childhood case of rheumatic fever and was apparently further weakened by his heavy smoking. Very distressing also that he suffered from manic depression. It may as sad as it is have added to the characters idiosyncratic mannerisms.
Regardless this series is wonderful and entertaining. However I must admit I got my copy at Costco for $114.

Summary: The Classic Holmes
Comment: This collection is by far the best Holmes ever recorded, showcasing Jeremy Brett as one of the world's greatest actors of all time--Holmes & Brett collide in a match of a lifetime, each unable to survive without the other (sorry Basil). You can find it cheaper than this, definitely at the UK subsidiary of Amazon for approximately 90 GBP ($130). A must get!
