Right now you can watch Sherlock Holmes in Australia on Britbox Apple TV Channel , and in the US on Amazon Prime Video and Philo — and it earns its twists rather than manufacturing them. Every one of its 7 seasons holds up. 261 viewers have already rated it on TMDB — the kind of consensus that does not happen by accident. Jeremy Brett's performance alone is worth the time investment. Available now on Britbox Apple TV Channel — press play and find out why people keep recommending it.

Part of the current wave of titles people are actually watching, Sherlock Holmes earns its spot. The plotting gives Sherlock Holmes its backbone, but it is the characters you come back for. Sherlock Holmes uses his abilities to take on cases by private clients and those that the Scotland Yard are unable to solve, along with his friend Dr. Watson. Jeremy Brett and Edward Hardwicke lead a cast that gives the tension real weight. Across 7 seasons (1984–1994), it never lost the thread that made it worth starting. The plot mechanics of Sherlock Holmes never overwhelm the human cost underneath them. It rarely drops the ball, and when it does, it recovers fast.

For anyone who wants their crime drama to earn its twists, Sherlock Holmes delivers. The tonal similarities to Agatha Christie's Poirot are real, though Sherlock Holmes carves out its own identity quickly. 7 seasons in, there is no shortage of material once you get started. Watch Jeremy Brett work — it is a masterclass in the genre. Few crime dramas earn their twists this consistently.

Sherlock Holmes wrapped up in 1994, created by John Hawkesworth — and 7 seasons are available to watch from start to finish.
