Sherlock Holmes by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Not as good as the book, but still worth watching.

he is often cold and emotionless; sometimes bitter and rude...it is his logical analytical mind and social eccentricity that appeals Holmes fans He was also one of the best actors ever in my opinion...keep watching, he will grow on you :)

I am beginning to think this Holmes doesn't like wealthy people. He is kind to poor people and women, but sarcastic, rude, and impatient with wealthy businesmen. (See the banker in "Red-headed league, and the wealthy German in "Scandal" that Holmes doesn't like being around)

@000266617 Sherlock Holmes seems a character mixture of the Scarlet Pimpernel, Alan Turing, Robin Hood and Keith Richards. I only added Keith Richards because Holmes likes to play musical instruments and take drugs as well. [Smile.] :o)o:

I always like it when he uses the blackboard...

Holmes is not unfeeling or cold. He's a logical person, but he has so much passion for what he does, and an ingrained belief in doing the right thing that he couldn't possibly be called emotionless. He doesn't outwardly display his feelings, but that doesn't mean he has none.  It's just that all this rambling on about so-and-so's love life is not helpful towards solving the case.

I think Holmes posseses the capability to love ,but no means to display it. Brett was and exellent actor ,especially as Holmes.

@000266617 these stories were sometimes written by Doyle while sitting at parties of affluent people.

@maddyreid18 Depends on what you mean with love. I don't think he's every loved someone romantically, but I do believe he loves Watson as a friend.

[maddyreid18]

As far as I've seen, Holmes truly admires only Erena Adler (probably spelled that wrong) in A Scandal In Bohemia, but what I really must know is if Holmes is even capable of actual love.

Admiration? Of course.

Respect? No doubt.

But love? We shall never know.

[MagicansForce]

@000266617 Yes, but that isn't combined with a need to understand, and a distaste for any strong emotion like romantic love. I'm simply stating what Holmes himself stated. And I quote, "How can you build on such quicksand? Their most trivial actions may mean volumes. He doesn't understand them, he doesn't even trust them; the only interest comes from the cases they bring. But he's ultimately a "chivalrous opponent."

[000266617]

@MagicansForce I expect remarks from millions of men saying they don't understand women and what they do don't make any sense. t o them either. "men are from mars, women from venus?"
