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

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.

Solid advice.

This series actually renewed my interest in Doyle's catalog of Holmes stories.

I found a list of all of them that someone had compiled a rating of each based on Holmes fans feedback, so they're each rated from 1 ★ up to 5 ★'s.

Even better was I found 2 different versions of all of his stories in audio formats.

• A really cool one is an old BBC Radio version with an entire cast of voice actors doing every story unabridged, along with a bit of sound effects added in.

• The other is a narration by some British bloke, but he does a good job with it.

I'm busy enough as it is, so these are a nice listen when commuting or driving around town on errands.

Yeah, same here. I just picked up the 70-hour Audible version. Haven't listened to it yet, but looking forward to it.

I think if you like Brett's Holmes then you'd like the way they potray Holmes in Sherlock.
