Jonny Lee Miller is Sherlock Holmes in this and Lucy Liu is Doctor Watson. Which has caused some grumbling in Sherlockian circles. Quinn is 'Captain Gregson' (wot no Lestrade?). Sound like Holmes might be ex-NYPD.

Hmm.

(Blink.) Sherlock really is evergreen, isn't he? I have to admit, I try to see all the Sherlock iterations, some work, some don't. This will have to work hard to beat the recent Benedict Cumberbatch edition, but I'll reserve judgement.

Grumbling? Extreme nausea, for me. Comforting that I still have Jeremy Brett on VHS.
