There’s the original big 3, SuperWhoLock. There’s the New Big 3, OurGoodShadows (or something). But what about other trios?
Book adaptations? The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes (Grenada), Jeeves and Wooster (Also Grenada?), and we need a third to complete the set.
Shows from the 2000s with a specific vibe? I’m thinking Psych, maybe Community, and again open to a third option here.
I mean seriously we need more of these—

HELLO! Hello, my friends, i'm not dead, only the academic year started again!
Without further ado, LET'S BEGIN!
Our darling Watson starts with a disclaimer
Publishing years later (MUCH MANY YEARS LATER THAN IF THIS THING HAD HAPPENED IN 1898, I MEAN!), altering MANY things, in the vague hope Lestrade won't have a stroke. Uhm. Promising.
Well, it starts with our handsome gentlemen back from a walk!
Just a nice, mental health, relaxing, refreshing w- WHAT'S THAT THING THEEEERE???
Milverton. No offence to shits, but he is a true shit. At least according to Holmes. And he'll pass again at 6:30 PM. URGH!
Holmes HATES snakes. He DETESTS them. He hates Milverton JUST as much, and yeah...
PRETTY CLEAR. Holmes HATES blackmailers, and Milverton the most of all of them.
And... Watson. You're more clever and have seem much more than that...
I find myself here quoting Alessandro Manzoni. That's the exact situation (@mostvaliantandmostpround, hope you appreciate the spot of italian literature my beloved). Holmes and Watson both know why the victims are not hitting back. Their society is PARTICULARLY unforgiving. Holmes has just a case of the kind.
Here's the bastard. No surprise at Holmes refusing to shake his hand. He doesn't respect Milverton in the SLIGHTEST. and how to find fault in it. I also do praise Granada once again
Fenomenal casting. They just got the bastard right!
Back to the letter.
OF COURSE Watson is discreet. He is PERFECT UWU. shut up Milverton. They discuss of the case, with Holmes being very annoyed and mortified and overall IN A MOOD. Obviously. for good reason too. then to the core of the thing.
Oh, HOLMES. I do get what you mean, they should JUST talk. But HUMANS.
He's ENJOYING IT, THE BASTARD. I do get why Holmes feels the way he does.
Well, OF COURSE. This scene hits a lot. This man LOVES HIS JOB. He genuinely LIKES making people SUFFER.
Well, Holmes, DO try it.
Oh, it WAS worth an attemp- BUT THERE ARRIVES JOHN H. WATSON WITH THE S-
Unfortunately nop, my dear Watson. You might bonk someone else over the head (i get the feeling tho.)
Bastard's out, Holmes reflecting.
AND HE FINALLY HAS A SOLUTION!
We'll see it all in the next letter! Good luck to Holmes with his disguise!

jeremy brett
it looks like one of those aesthetic sketching pages and i kinda dig it
hottest man award should be delivered to jeremy brett when he was playing Watson because holy FUCK-
my heart is jumping out of my chest- i want to bite into this man like food. He looks like he tastes of belgian chocolate.
i wish i could capture his true beauty in digital like i can in traditional.
i would walk kilometers through broken glass to watch the play.
and maybe kiss him?? *pointed fingers together looking shyly at the ground*

I wish more adaptations of Sherlock Holmes acknowledged that his career began when he was fairly young. He was 27 when he met Dr. Watson. He wasn't yet 40 in a large portion of his cases. I feel like that gives some interesting context to those stories.
Like that bitch was barely 29 when he let the villain fucking die in The Adventure of the Speckled Band. He was 34 when he met Irene Adler, began his rivalry with Moriarty, and when Dr. Watson met and married Mary Morstan.

David Stuart Davies on the bookseller disguise:
It really is over the top, but the thinking behind this was simple. The series was called The Return of Sherlock Holmes, and therefore viewers knew that Sherlock Holmes would turn up at any minute. No disguise, however subtle or restrained, would fool them, so Brett decided to let the pendulum swing the other way and make it outrageous. Whatever, it still fooled Watson.
