My wife and I are huge fans of the Jeremy Brett Sherlock Holmes series, but this disc turned us both off completely. It's a warped adaptation of The Noble Bachelor, bearing almost no resemblance to the original. Instead there is a completely ridiculous story about someone being kept prisoner for years by two murderers. Why wouldn't they just murder the person? Unbelievable plot, and it's the invention of the screenwriters, not Conan Doyle. We were also put off by the depiction of Sherlock as somewhat unbalanced or unhinged. Horrible.

I don't like these made for British TV Sherlock Holmes movies. This one wasn't any better than the last one I tried to watch. They are very dark and unappealing.
