I think even in the 1980s, there was some criticism that Brett was straying too much from the canonical Holmes. However, it's funny to hear Cumberbatch make it, when all modern performances - Cumberbatch's included - take so much from Brett. There's a tendency for people to denigrate their most obvious influences. And I think that's what is happening here. Jeremy Brett casts a very long shadow.
I think Jonny Lee Miller is entertaining, but he's a bit more House than Holmes. Elementary is better than most shit on American network TV, but it's no Sherlock either.
So, what did you think of the Big Finish Hound of the Baskervilles?
