Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce, Sir Ben Kingsley and Sir Michael Caine(one of the very funny ones), Gene Wilder and Marty Feldman, Robert Downey Jr and Jude Law, even Hugh Laurie and Robert Sean Leonard. All of them well done in my opinion.This version is set in modern day London and I am thrilled to see the source material alive and well in this series. As of this writing I have only seen the first three but I have signed up for the season pass and am looking forward to many more episodes with these two new Holmes and Watson. Watch it for yourself and make up your own minds. 3 of 3 people found the following review helpful Great Refreshing take on Holmes, By gary jones (mountain top, new hampshire) - See all my reviews Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Sherlock Season 1 (Amazon Instant Video) Great, true to the original this is it. original but totally updated. the acting is first class.
