While I'm complaining about modern Sherlock Holmes adaptations...why do they keep making Holmes and anti-social asshole?
I mean he was, but ONLY to upper class, privileged asshats demanding unearned respect due to a bloodline. He was incredibly empathetic and spoke kindly to clients and victims.

“You have done wisely,” said my friend.
“But have you told me all?”
“Yes, all.”
“Miss Roylott, you have not. You are screening your stepfather.”
“Why, what do you mean?”

“Well, that is the curious part of it. You could have got fifteen to one yesterday, but the price has become shorter and shorter, until you can hardly get three to one now.”
“Hum!” said Holmes. “Somebody knows something, that is clear.”

Baskerville est mort le 18 janvier 1775. Baskerville? Non, pas le chien terrible des Baskerville, la meilleure histoire mettant en scène Sherlock Holmes. Plutôt le célèbre fondeur de caractères, typographe et imprimeur anglais. Son travail nous sert encore tous les jours quand nous lisons.
