I must admit that I'm really not ready to warm to a contemporary adaptation of Holmes and Watson. I've sat through a couple of episodes of the American TV series Elementary and came away completely repulsed. I'm the kind of person who wishes that he could go back to Victorian/Edwardian England or find a group of people who would recreate a village without gas stations, Walmarts, BofA, McDonalds, and without any modern cars and agree to dress and behave like they did in the late 1800s (I probably won't live long enough to be able to disappear from the modern world into a holodeck-type virtual reality of the period).
I wish Granada would continue filming the rest of the 60 odd Conan Doyle stories where they left off but how do you replace Jeremy Brett? I've decided that I'll give the BBC Sherlock series a try but I'm not expecting to like it as the type of Sherlock Holmes fan that I am. I'm still on the fence as to whether I like the Sherlock Holmes interpretation of the Robert Downey Jr. movies, which to me are a bit like Sherlock Holmes meets James T. West of the Wild Wild West TV series.
