Brett’s Holmes was classical and based on Doyle’s description of the detective, as was the entire series. There were no unorthodox flourishes. But what we got instead was perhaps the closest thing to the OG Sherlock on screen - Brett was lean, tall, could flip from sharp to disinterested, and had a clipped way of speaking that was inch perfect. He would have been 90 yesterday. If you have never seen him as Holmes, do. It might change the way you see him!
