The Rivals of Sherlock Holmes

These are very interesting stories, told in a very literate manner. Most are understandable, others are very obtusely written. The acting is very good but more suited for British theater rather than TV. The production standards are very dated, and the heavy use of "greasepaint" type makeup is distracting, especially in the harsh lighting. However, since the episodes are not connected, it's a good series to insert in your streaming queue and pull out an episode when your own queue is thin on the ground, and you need something to watch.
