What do y'all think about Sherlock Holmes?

I’ve loved Sherlock Holmes since I first read The Hound of the Baskervilles as a kid, and I’m trying to read everything ever written by Arthur Conan Doyle about the famous detective.

Currently, there are two really good Sherlock Holmes series on TV, Sherlock and Elementary. And I’ve seen lots of Sherlock Holmes movies with all sorts of actors including the “classic” version with Jeremy Brett, all 3 of the modern movies with Robert Downey Jr., and even one with Christopher Plummer, and a silent film made in the early 1900’s.

I’m just enthralled with all things Sherlock Holmes.

I’m wondering if we Americans are more excited about the whole Sherlock Holmes phenomenon, or whether the Brits love him as much as we do.

Anybody care to comment?
