Wait. Be real with me for a sec. I remember my grandmother loving this show for always being tasteful and mentally engaging, plus she loved to read Agatha Christie-- Is it legitimately worth checking out?
If good:
-Start from beginning?
-Look up 'best of' episode lists?

*tips whatever hat sherlock holmes wears"
>>69765418
Yes, it's maximum comfy
The setting is really well made, the actors are outstanding for a TV series, Suchet is basically the best version of Hercule Poirot
My advice is that you have to watch from the start because the first episodes are made in the 80s, so the filming difference is quite noticable with the 2010 ones

Holy shit, you people actually know about this show?
I thought they only showed it in shitty eastern yurop countries.

I only read A Study in Scarlet and Holmes came off as a smug arrogant prick, never touched another one of his stories.
>>69765278
>only one I read was Hounds of the Baskervilles and it's one of few stories where he's barely in it
>>69764501
No. He was rather OCD I guess, but it is one of his defining features: "Order and Method, Hastings". One could argue it is what made him such a good detective.
At least in the show, he showed no real sign of having social problems, just a bit odd and higher class.
>>69765418
Yeah, it is quite good if you're into that kind of thing, a combination period drama and detective story.
>>69765278
I'll take the Brett Holmes over Suchet's Poirot, but not by a lot. Both were pretty spot on and well made.
>muh little grey cells
>the episode where a blizzard has trapped them at a ski resort and Poirot has to solve the murder of someone else trapped there
Maximum comfy

Holmes is much more "autistic" and in many ways more interesting because of it. He had several flaws and psychological issues, but worst of all he was a genius and he knew it.
He genuinely operated on a higher level that the majority of people around him and was prone to depression and boredom, only really pacified by a good case or his morphine/cocaine habit.
>>69765278
Modern interpretations of Holmes are all garbage
>>69768626
What the hell man, it's a classic.
>>69770315
And that's why Mycroft > Sherlock
That fatass was content with being chill and didn't give a fuck.
>>69770503
Mycroft sat in his little club and did a lot of theory work and a lot of good for the government.
Sherlock was just more restless and wanted to go out and prove his method, he also seemed to like helping people in his own way.
>>69770503
Not sure I'm just getting meme'd by the few modern adaptions I've seen, but was Mycroft smarter than Sherlock in the actual books too?
I love this show so much, I kind of can't believe /tv/ is talking about it
>>69770698
>tfw you realize not all anons spend 12 hours a day browsing

Mycroft more or less served as a human supercomputer for the British government, according to Sherlock the guy had a perfect memory and unerthly analytical skills (even greater than Sherlock's). The ministries and officies would send all their data to Mycroft, and the government would ask him what to do. Sherlock even says that from time to time, Mycroft *IS* the British government.
The new Sherlock show sucks.
Who thoguht it would be a good idea to put it in modern day? It's not comfy at all.
None of these old faggots can even touch Batman.

The way the Thistledick Bradybunch adaption depicted him was not autistic, smarmy cunt Sherlock+ or something
>>69771360
Huh, you know that never, ever crossed my mind.
I suppose it is a valid point, they were probably in their early 30's when they started together and going into their 50's or 60's.
Eh, I'm okay with it, he's great and they work as a middle aged pair.
>>69765418
Yes. It's all some legitimately mystery and detective stories.
The translation to TV is good, they managed to make the characters likeable, thanks to an all arround perfect casting (Suchet and Fraser make a great "odd pair" and the dynamic between their characters never wears down).
As a period piece, it is also very well done, faithful and historically accurate. great choice s of scenery, sets and costumes.
I had maximum feels with the last episode. I knew it was coming but still. I had been watching it on rainy weekends with my family for so long, it was quite a blow.
>>69768247
I love how the show lasted for thirty years and yet they kept the opening and soundtrack all this time because it was just that fitting.
That episode when they are in egypt and some supernatural shit starts happening scared the shit out of me when i was a kid
Poirot is so fucking good. I'd watched the newer an hour and half episodes multiple times, and assorted older episodes, but this spring I finally watched them all.
I also like others (Morse, Columbo, BrettHolmes), but Poirot most of all.

All these episode in colonial north Africa and the middle east are pretty comfy
>you will never attend jet-set parties in luxury hotels in Bagdad or Cairo while rocking a white three-pieces suit and get a high-society qt ready to inherit the fortune of her family
The show was a hit or miss, some episodes were pretty boring and others were top tier comfy.
Death on Nile was my favorite one.

>Maigret
Basically the french Poirot. Written arround the same time, the books managed to get some decent amount of respects from literarry critics who usually snob detective stories as cheap litterature for people who don't read. There has been a couple tv and movie adaptations. The early ones with Jean Gabin as Maigret are a french classic.although the writer himself said that one of the best adaptations was the japanese version of the 70s
>Derrick
Germans try to make their own detective show. It's cold, dark and does not allow any form of fun. Lots of underage prostitutes being murdered, homeless hobos going wild, beaten and scared housewives, paranoid old men killed by their inheritors and fuckloads of cold harassment of the suspects to get to the truth.
Pretty much works with the columbo formula : you know who did it but the detective doesn't. Except Columbo pretends to be retarded until the criminal lets his guard down, while Derrick is a dick.
>>69773098
>the french Poirot
Poirot's already Wallonian, and trust me, that makes you french enough :p. Gotcha anon!
But in that Maigret is how french producers imitated Christe's Poirot, then yes I'd concede that he's our poor attempt at mimicking him. And Maigret is an average policeman usually, and with shabby intelligence even, so he doesn't much compare to Poirot in that field.

I was referring more to the books and their legacy. In a sense simenon and christie are some of the few writers who focused on mysteries and yet got some respect for their work. Again, it's a genre that usually gets disregarded by a lot of critics (and in many cases, rightfuly so) yet they showed in their respective languages that you could make something that had both style and suspense. Which is a good thing, especially since they were both writing arround the time when the divide between easy-to-read stuff and litterature for knowers was getting wider with on one side newspapers series and on the other the precursors of post-modernism.also the first Maigret stories were written before Agatha Christie was published in France

She hated Columbo and PI Magnum though.
Personally I liked Morse best.

My mom loved Derrick.
Morse and Derrick were her favorites.
Then Poirot and Frost. And then later Silent Witness.
