Consider Sherlock Holmes as portrayed by Jeremy Brett.

It is fantastic! Brett portrayed Holmes exactly as Holmes was meant to be: brilliant, impatient, and quirky.

Read some of the reviews there and you'll see what I mean.

My favorite. The dark moods, drugs and (to me) some hint of more than professional friendship between Watson and Holmes.

Isn't that the truth...no one does Sherlock Holmes like Jeremy Brett.
