Richard Grenier New York Times Jeremy Brett makes a truly splendid Sherlock: vain, arrogant, imperious, rude. Nov 12, 2018 Full Review John J. O'Connor New York Times [Jeremy Brett] is a bit of a dandy and a total narcissist. He is great fun to watch for a while, but he would probably be impossible to tolerate for any extended period of time. Nov 12, 2018 Full Review Alex Westthorp Den of Geek In 1984 Granada television, fresh from the success of The Jewel In The Crown, produced an equally superb television adaptation of Sherlock Holmes. Nov 12, 2018 Full Review Danilo Castro Screen Rant The wildly talented Brett was born to play Sherlock, and the parallels he experienced in his own life-- bipolar disorder and depression-- helped inform his sudden shifts from boredom to heightened interest Nov 12, 2018 Full Review Read all reviews
