Sherlock Holmes: The Complete Collection [DVD]

Jeremy Brett was the best actor in the role of Sherlock Holmes.He not only acted but seemed to live the part.The written Stories were brought to life.After watching the stories if you read them, you can hear Brett's voice on the words of the main character.A much missed actor whose talents can still be enjoyed by viewing these DVDS.

Received the DVD collection as promised and so far, since I've watched disc one and disc 2, it plays perfectly. Very happy to enjoy these wonderful BBC performances by actor Jeremy Brett. Great, complete collection and, if you have a DVD player that will play region 2, this is a great set to order.

Item delivered as promised in very good condition.

Well, we started watching this series a few weeks ago. We are just on our third disc on Season 1. So this may an unfair review.We got in to the Sherlock Holmes stories with Elementary with Jonny Lee Miller and Lucy Liu. Then we went to Sherlock with Benedict Cumberback.Although Sherlock Holmes parallels the original stories most closely, we would rate both series more compelling and interesting to watch than this one. Miller and Cumberbach are superior actors, and the villains more threatening. Especially the way Moriarity was written in the Shlock series interpretations. The Mycroft character was the best in Elementary.Side by side, Sherlock Holmes ranks 3 out of 3 in acting, production, and story. We would give Sherlock Holmes 1 out of 3 for staying true to the original stories.Either way, we will watch every episode because Sherlock Holmes remains far superior to the crap offered on Disney, Netflix, and the like.

Feature Films Included - Such as, Hound of the Baskervilles It says complete, and it really is. Although the description fails to mention the Feature Films. They are included. All of the stories are included on those 16 disks, even though they forgot to mention the Film Collection.--Here's what's in the package--1-The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes2-The Casebook of Sherlock Holmes3-The Return of Sherlock Holmes4-The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes5-The Sherlock Holmes Feature Film Collection.Some of us have a special interest in the feature film collection, so here are the episodes listed individually.1-The Sign of Four2-The Hound of the Baskervilles3-The Master Blackmailer4-The Last Vampyre5-The Eligible Bachelor--A note on playing Region 2 DVD's--These are Region 2 DVD's so unless you know how to play them, then this package is not for you. On many of the DVD Players, you can do a Region Unlock Search, and find a password which enables Region 0, which means all regions enabled including Region 2. Some of the DVD Players being sold are already unlocked. You might have one in your living room and not know it. They can also be played on your computer, or converted on your computer, which is perfectly legal for personal use, but not worth the trouble in my opinion. I would rather pay a little more andnot have to deal with all those hassle’s. They sell Region 0 DVD Players on Amazon, that can be used for this purpose, such as this one. --- Philips Multi Region Code Free DVD Player - RCA input - Plays CD, DVD, Region 1 2 3 4 5 6 ---- Most of the Philips models have a code you can look up on the Internet, and some of them are ready, out of the box.--A note on Picture Quality--On a scale of 1 to 10, these are a 9. If you buy older DVD's of the series, the picture quality might be around a 5 or a 6, so be forewarned, that older versions were sometimes no better than VHS versions. So if you are considering used DVD's, also consider the date they were made.

I just love Jeremy Brett's Sherlock Holmes character. They had all the episodes on Netflix for some time then as Netflix does with painful regularity they pulled it (probably their license for the series expired but nonetheless it is a shock to see something you enjoy disappearing in 7 days - but I digress).Only through the first season I was hooked and decided to just buy the entire series since I'm sure I'll watch it multiple times through the years. I bought this UK version since it is half the cost of the US version and is exactly the same series.The "secret" to buying (and PLAYING) Region 2 dvd's is to simply have a multi-region DVD player. You can buy one specifically OR do what I do, which is to have a second optical drive in your computer and assign it to play Region 2. Windows lets you change the setting up to 5 times but for the cost of a second optical drive (I bought the generic/bulk Lite-On drive right here on Amazon for $20) I just added the drive and permanently assigned it Region 2. I have an HDMI cable running from the computer to my TV and voila! - perfect picture and sound. I buy Region 2 dvd's whenever I can and have paid for the drive many times over plus saved a lot of money in general. As I said Region 2 is exactly the same quality and technology - why get ripped off by being forced against your will into Region 1?These discs play perfectly and the quality is as good as it was when I was streaming it from Netflix. This is one of the most entertaining series I have come across and I am thrilled to have made the purchase at less than $1 per episode and I can have it for the rest of my life. I'm 100% completely satisfied.

Liked the fact that what many consider the definitive Sherlock Holmes (Jeremy Brett) is now available as Complete Works. Very exciting and entertaining. A must for fans!!

Jeremy Brett gives the greatest portrayal of Sherlock Holmes. Edward Hardwick is sensational as Watson!
