He’s really good but Jeremy Brett is probably a click better.

No hat tip for Basil Rathbone? I liked his Dr Watson. Nigel Bruce...

Early Jeremy Brett before he gained weight. Best Sherlock. Cumberbatch is probably second best although some of the writing goes too far off the reservation.

For classic Holmes, Brett’s turn in his first series is unmatched. He was hard to watch in his last as his illness consumed him.
Douglas Wilmer did the character great credit in the mid-60s, IMHO.
Vasily Livanov was also a fine Holmes for a series of movies made in the Soviet Union in the early-to-mid-80s.

Absolutely. Jeremy Brett was the best Sherlock ever and more accurately portrayed the books. The newer Holmes, while entertaining, is not accurate.
