The Library At 221 B Baker Street
The Granada Series
I won't rate each one individually because to me they are all good. There are none that I would rate anything other than 4 stars
The Eligible Bachelor
The twists in some of these, no matter how well I come to know Holmes, never cease to surprise me
​
The Creeping Man
Quite a disturbing tale if you really stop and think about it, but I am afraid I could really see it happening
​
The Master Blackmailer
I liked this one especially the very end
​
The Last Vampyre
I may very well be the one of the few people who really likes this one. Though I can't see how they got all of this 2 hour one from that short story.
​
The Illustrious Client
It only shows just how far lies can get someone.
​
Shoscombe Old Place
I didn't quite get the part about Jasper..........he did go after the carriage, I have had dogs and that made no sense to me. Shoscombe Prince was simply stunning to look at
​
The Boscombe Valley Mystery
I have seen other versions of this with Peter Cushing. Difficult to say what I like best
​
The Problem Of Thor Bridge
Sometimes Doyles tales are very sinister in nature
​
Disappearance of Lady Frances Carfax
Lovely setting, beautiful lake scenery, perfectly depressing story
​
Wisteria Lodge
Well the Granada series surely toned this one down to a palatable taste. Aside from some parts I liked this one
​
Silver Blaze
What little experience I have with horses helped me to appreciate this one more that I might have otherwise.
​
The Devil's Foot
I loved the setting of this and the bit of twist I had not really expected. I always love it when Holmes goes off on another subject as well as the obvious
​
The Greek Interpreter
I finally met Mycroft and I must say I like him. Man much of the same qualities I daresay I possess
​
The Copper Beeches
I liked this one. The ending was not quite how I imagined it
​
A Scandal In Bohemia
This is what I fell in love with and the shimmer of the candlelight still enchants me
​
The Dancing Men
This one had me till the end
​
The Naval Treaty
I never saw that end coming
​
The Solitary Cyclist
Not one of my favorites but still enjoyable
​
The Crooked Man
I really rather liked this one quite a bit
​
The Speckled Band
I love it when I am prompted to go back to the book where something is referenced and find it and hunt down the explanation
​
The Norwood Builder
How can you not love secret rooms
​
The Resident Patient
I liked the deception to Trevelyan though I thought it could have been fleshed out a bit more. All the characters could have been
​
The Blue Carbuncle
In this rare instance I like the book version better
​
The Six Napoleons
Subtitles would have been helpful but aside from that I liked this one
​
The Man With The Twisted Lip
I enjoyed this one and it got me to thinking what kind of trouble someone could get into doing that
​
The Abbey Grange
One of my favorites
​
Hound Of The Baskervilles
As close as there is, at least till now, to the original. A most definite watch
​
The Dying Detective
Excellent on both Brett and Hardwicke's acting here, I really had thought Holmes had come down with it for a while
​
The Golden Pince-Nez
Always have a hard time pronouncing this one, but I do love it
​
The Red Circle
They had me going until they told me she was in that room
​
The Mazarin Stone
Combining two stories into one can sometimes go very wrong but that is not the case here. Even without my beloved Jeremy in most of it, I still really really liked this one.
​
The Cardboard Box
It breaks my heart it had to end, but it ended very well. Rest In Peace my beloved Jeremy, thank you for the most excellent Holmes I have ever seen.
​
The Red-Headed League
I like the acting here, top notch but I just don't like the story itself. Never have
​
The Final Problem
It deviates only slightly away from the story. I think a few of the details should have been left
​
The Empty House
Here I liked the novel better, but obviously Granada showed more emotion
​
The Priory School
I have to give this one to the novel, lots of details were changed
​
The Second Stain
I am glad the series omitted that tacky scene with Lady Hilda. I wish they had not left out the bee keeping detail though
​
The Musgrave Ritual
I really like the way Watson was much more a part of this than in the novel
​
The Bruce Partington Plans
Hmmm to me it is a tie, the Granada or the story. Both have some lines that I love
Sign Of The Four
Liked the book far more than any of the screen adaptations I have seen.
The Three Gables
Here was where I fell in love with Gary Cady
She blogged she was done reviewing the series, but she will never be done watching me
