Don't feel bad - I assumed it was supposed to be Benedict or something, but a quick right-click image search made me feel less crazy for thinking it didn't look like him.

I thought maybe it was Moriarty.

Did you miss me ?

That's exactly what I thought.

So In conclusion "Young Robert Downey Jr" looks like a young Moriarty.

And that picture seems like one he'd be willing to show the world.

(Nice save?)

He doesn't look like anyone but Robert Downey, Jr to me.

Well, for starters....

Ah. Wrong Sherlock. I get it. Kind of.

Are these all based on the original short stories by Doyle?

While we're on bizarre resemblances, does anyone else look at Mycroft and see a British Ben Schwartz?

I believe that all of the episodes are based on one of the original short stories (or at least concepts from them), but they've taken TONS of liberties in the details.

Thanks, I may have to take a look now. I wouldn't if they were verbatim or close to it.

I'm a big fan of Jeremy Brett's Holmes.

I only started watching them on Netflix a month or so ago, and I've really enjoyed them. It's a nice new take on the characters.

The only warning I'll give you is that (in my opinion) the second episode of each series seems to be the weakest of the three, so don't give up after #2 if you enjoyed #1.

The only thing I see when i see Mycroft is "Hey that's Mark Gatiss, one of the writers of the show and an obvious homosexual". I'm shallow like that.

Solid advice.
