No. Not that either. Not that it isn't great, because it is, but nope.

Anyway, I wouldn't like a perfect canonical Holmes adaptation if such a thing was possible. The very concept sounds soul-crushingly boring and mastubatory. Granada, for example, was good, but the episodes where they just tried to follow canon line by line were the dullest eps. I liked the ones where they interpreted cryptic or telling-not-showing parts of canon with some imagination. Like, what's the point when I could just read the story?

And it's not like there's anything wrong with middle aged characters, it's just that I've seen a dozen middle aged Holmeses and Watsons and so there's no novelty in it. Which therefore means that there's nothing new about the idea to justify the fact that they were decidedly NOT middle aged in the pre-hiatus stories, so it just doesn't fit with the otherwise very faithful-to-canon episodes. Just like an adaptation where 20 year old actors are playing out stories that you read about 35 year old characters would feel odd unless it was interpreted creatively enough to make the change cool. Totally subjective as far as being *bothersome*, of course, but real enough to make it a bit annoying when people say ACD is just like Granada.
