I wasn't so impressed by this one.
planktonrules10 October 2014
I have only seen a couple of these Sherlock Holmes televisions shows that starred Ronald Howard. This one is definitely better of the two, though I would exactly call it an inspired version of the Conan Doyle character.
When the show begins, there is some odd banter between Watson and Holmes--and it seems very unlike their characters in the original stories. But, this is something I could live with--even though I am admittedly a purist when it comes to the Holmes stories.
Soon a lady named Miss Channing arrives at the apartment and she is seeking Holmes' help locating her lost fiancé, Mr. Cartwright. It seems that the guy was in a very good mood and there was no reason for him to disappear. When she followed the trail to a manor home in Scotland, Greystone Castle, the trail ended, as the folks that lived there were very uncooperative. At first, she thought that maybe her fiancé hadn't been there, but soon she finds evidence he is--so that is why she is seeking his help. As for the rest of the story, it's mildly interesting but the ending made no sense at all. After all, if the Lord of the manor is evil, why would he make an agreement to cooperate with Holmes?
