The worst adaptation of them all., 23 June 2007
Author: gring0 from United Kingdom

This was very difficult to watch, not the least of which was the piercing, at times completely inappropriate, music. This tended to make it difficult to understand what was being said and to concentrate on the action. indeed, the first scene with Holmes was already a chore to make out given Brett's illness. This required the story to be changed and replace Sherlock with his brother Mycroft. For some reason another story was added to pad this out further. The direction is abysmal here; incoherent shots were made with crazy camera angles that further made enjoying this a chore. I found this a particular crime given the fact that I am a great fan of Charles Gray, and his performance was ruined by such sabotage.
