All I can ever remember reading is the Hound of the Baskervilles and some other one with a locked-room murder.

not really. he didnt go crazy so much as he became a workaholic.

his wife died and he got sick. it got so bad that he eventually had to take breaks inbetween brief segments of filming, but he wanted to keep going despite it. it really shows near the end, his face becomes really bloated, and he loses that chiseled look that probably won him the part in the first place.

that said, he did dedicate himself to perfecting the character. he had with him at all times a little black book full of notes detailing mannerisms, cheat sheets, etc etc.

Is it as bad as watching Columbo episodes back to back until the end? As his condition worsened the support cast was relied on more and more. In some you sort of got the feeling they were leading him around the sets, making sure he was somewhat on cue and such. I didn't even know about it until afterwards, but I recognized the signs since I had a family member with the same thing; which is why I looked it up.

not really. his performance was still spot on, its just you could really notice he was in poor health.

What he had was extreme manic depressive/bi polar disorder, and he took lithium tablets for it, but lithium tablets caused him to retain water. he would have to take those breaks to fucking drain fluid from his neck. He also smoked like a chimney, I think particularly because of his condition.

but his performance was still good. it just made it so instead of looking like this

he looked like this

Most people thought of it as the definitive version before that shit on the BBC.

Ah, I see. Still sucks.

he still is. I thought that Benedict cucumber wouldnt be half bad if they put him in the traditional setting, but he's just as insufferable there.

Mind you Benedict isnt the problem, the fucking writing is. I thought that they both had the "look" down pretty good for the victorian episode,but the writing was just as atrocious as it normally is. even worse, in fact, because while you can excuse the modern version as a modern interpretation, mashing like 3 different cases together and using that same godawful writing, and making Moriarty act the exact same way as his modern counterpart does, just ruins it.

That said, credit where it's due, the cap joke they made was actually pretty clever.

Isn't this the one that attempted to cover all of Doyle's stories but the lead actor died like right before they finished the last one?
Terrible luck.

Which one is the one where basically Dr. Who plays Sherlock? Because that's the one with shitty writing.

Nah Jeremy Brett who played Sherlock in this series did in the early 90s a couple years after the finished the series. Apparently his wife died during the series and he was diagnosed bipolar/mania and he was very kino about getting the character right for the show, someone earlier in the thread said he had a whole collection of the original books on set so they could properly get scenes right.

Starting 1st episode right now.

>tfw you've read practically nothing of the stories at all

Then you should at least watch The Hound of the Baskervilles.
