Fics like The Best And Wisest Adaptation I Have Ever Known: The Granada Holmes Rewatch

This is a complete collection of episode reviews for the Sherlock Holmes series filmed and broadcast between 1984 and 1995 by Granada Television (now ITV Granada) starring Jeremy Brett as Sherlock Holmes and David Burke & Edward Hardwicke as Dr. Watson. I re/watched the whole series in the summer of 2017, because the entire world was on fire and I needed a diversion. I have been reading Holmes and Watson as a couple for at least 30 years now, so that perspective informs all of these reviews. There are occasional comparisons to what happened with Sherlock. Also, I usually discuss the canon story on which any given episode was based. As with all the other rewatches posted here, I am critical, but always from a place of love. All of these reviews were first posted to tumblr and will be cross-posted more or less intact. There may have to be slight adjustments made depending on whether AO3 treats the GIFs properly. Enjoy them again, or for the first time!
