r/SherlockHolmes

Illustrated by Sidney Paget

I always got the feeling that Mycroft in this series feels like a more classic Sherlock aside from a few throwaway lines about not having enough interest to do legwork in cases and his government role. The classic victorian like outfit with the watch chain and walking stick, the mannerisms.

I think Benedict Cumberbatch could make a more likeable Sherlock if given a script that respects the source material more without wanting to subvert and invert it.

If there was a episode where they removed the few Mycroft characteristics in Mark Gatiss's Mycroft and added just a little more eccentricity to his portrayal i think he would play a great Sherlock.

I don't like the more mean, cold and many times pretentious reinterpretation of Cumberbatch Sherlock, but it's funny to see that right there in the same exact show there is a better, more classic option walking around as another character.

I love the muted colours of these films as they appear on YouTube. Here are a few of my favourites.

I plotted the travel route, the flight across the Channel (London → Newhaven → Dieppe → Strasbourg) to Reichenbach, then the two years in Tibet in Lhasa and the head Lama, travelling under the name Sigerson through Persia, Mecca, a visit to the Khalifa at Khartoum and then months in a lab in Montpellier in the south of France before he finally walks back into Baker Street.

Ciao amici lettori!

è uscito il mio primo libro apocrifo su due dei personaggi da me più amati: Sherlock Holmes e il Dottor Watson. Spero possa piacervi e sono interessato ai vostre feedback.

Un breve incipit sul libro:
Sherlock Holmes lascia Londra per inseguire un enigma tra le nebbie e i riflessi del Lido di Venezia.

Accanto al fedele dottor Watson, il celebre detective dovrà affrontare omicidi, segreti e un sentimento capace di corrompere anche gli animi più lucidi: la vendetta.

This series is inspired stylistically by the Guy Ritchie films. Though it has it's own flair, the mannerisms and character of Sherlock and Watson feel similar enough to the movies to where it feels like it could be a prequel series in a way to the movies, focusing more on classic mysteries than the action movie style of the Guy Ritchie films.

It loosely adapts remixed versions of the book stories.

It feels like a cross between the soviet 'the adventures of Sherlock Holmes and Watson' and the movies. What i appreciate is that though it's faithful enough to the style of the books it gives it's own fresh flair to the mannerisms and behaviour of Holmes and Watson.

A detail i enjoyed in the movies is that they make Mrs. Hudson younger, the series also does this. She's more involved and more of a character in some ways in this series. There is a good bit of Russian humor and charm throughout the series.

I'm on episode five right now and as someone who doesn't know russian i still find the series very charming and lovable. It gives Watson more of a spur on the story and more personality without departing from the good hearted, nice personality of the books.

It's a charming remix of events and characteristics from the books that i would reccomend to Holmes fans.

Hey everyone!

A few weeks ago, I did a collage illustration based off of Granada's adaptation of A Scandal in Bohemia, and I decided to continue that idea and move on to the next episode, The Dancing Men. I don't know if I will do this with every single episode or just my favorite ones, but so far the two categories are one and the same, so I can put off that decision for a while yet. Anyway, hope you like it!

Longtime fan of the Holmes canon, introduced to it by a ladybird children’s tape and book adaptation (I still have the tape, but not the book) when I was 7 years old, I’m 50 now. I still read The Hound of the Baskervilles at least once a year and the rest of the canon approx every 3-4 years. I’ve seen every film or tv version of HOUN that I can conceivably get hold of and the thing that always bothered me is that the ‘star’ of the book, the Hound, was never scary enough. Some adaptions did better than others, but none have really nailed it the way Conan Doyle wrote it.

This image I found several years ago but I have no idea where it is from, this is my idea of the Hound, something to keep you awake at night, like poor Sir Charles. If someone knows who the artist is or if this is from some adaption please comment.

First post on this sub, hope I’ve stuck to the community rules.
