After Sherlock Holmes is brought back from the dead, he is rejuvenated to that of a 25 year-old to help good friend Inspector Beth Lestrade battle an unprecedented crime wave wreaking havoc on this peaceful future.

A fun take on Sherlock Holmes

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 2, 2015

Verified Purchase

This is a fun take on the Sherlock Holmes mythos with robots and flying cars. This show finds fun new takes on the original Doyle stories.

This cartoon was made by DiC which is not my favorite company. Hanna Barbera and Filmation ruled in the 70's and 80's. DiC started in the 80's and did the cartoons Hanna Barbera would have done in the 90's, had they not been bought by Ted Turner.

Mill Creek, through their Cookie Jar and Retro TV Tune imprints, are putting out some well deserved budget priced complete season and complete series sets. They do cram 10-13 episodes per disc, but compared to a few 52 episodes on 2 DVD sets of various Kamen Rider series I have recently purchased for Singapore, there is no discernable loss in image quality in these Mill Creek releases.

This 4 DVD set and the 4 DVD set of Archie's Weird Mysteries do come on a Spindle DVD case that stacks the discs, but flippy ddvd cases are not hard to come by and reasonably priced if you buy several.

I hope Millcreek continues to put out these great sets, especially Seasons 2 and 3 of Jumanji.

Sherlock Holmes in the 22nd Century

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 15, 2014

Verified Purchase

If you loved reading Sherlock Holmes, you will probably love this series! The creators cunningly found a way to move Sherlock Holmes into the 22nd Century and then created stories to match up with the basic premise of the original stories, but placed 300 or so years later!

This was created in 1999, so the aspect ratio is based on the old 4:3 television standard. Still, it is a lot of fun and I think well worth the price for 26 episodes. Since you are viewing the original made for TV, you will still see the pauses that were inserted for networks to place their advertising in, but there will be no advertising. Figure about 22 minutes per episode instead of the 30 you would have on TV since the commercials are missing.

A well thought out and implemented adaptation that preserves two of the main characters and finds interesting ways to recreate two other prime characters.

I would highly recommend it.

A Delightful Take on Sir Arthur.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 2, 2013

Verified Purchase

I was introduced to this series a while back when, because of heart problems, I was also having anxiety or "panic" attacks. I swiftly learned that by watching "no-brainers" on the TV, I could swiftly ameliorate these attacks. To my delight one of the shows was this one: Sherlock Holmes in the 22nd Century - Complete Series . Before long I found myself watching it just for the fun of it, because I had read the originals many times over. Because of this knowledge of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's works, I could sort of lean back and really enjoy these animations most thoroughly. While some may say "Oh, these are just for kids," I truly wonder. Yes, they are pitched for children, and yet, there's a not-too-obvious adult pitch, as well. Anahoo, I still love this series and I'm glad I purchased it. Yes, I do recommend it, but if you're an adult, keep the salt shaker handy. Still, I think you'll enjoy these as much as I do.

The 3 Stars Do Not Lend to the Nostalgia

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 10, 2012

Verified Purchase

I know that it may sound a bit rough as a fan of all things Sherlock Holmes, but I have to say I wasn't overly impressed with this adaptation all in all. Re-tellings are apart of all things (books, art, music, movies, tv programs) and sometimes they aren't fantastic. Not to say that this is terrible, but it wasn't my cup of tea. The accents that were giving to these characters were meant to sound British (different dialects also used) and they sounded rough and forced in some places. The character of Holmes himself IS egotistical, but sometimes he didn't feel like the character in this watered down version of himself. His over explaining EVERYTHING to the people around him as well as the enemy weren't fun and sometimes long to sit through. Though the actual Sherlock Holmes character does explain things, it is usually towards the end of the adventure when things are wrapping up and doesn't feel like it drags on. And the CONSTANT usage of "It's Elementary" followed by the lengthy explanations was rather off putting.

Now please keep in mind, I did like the series over all. Some funny, unique stories plus some humor occasionally added, that and a little bit of mystery for us as the viewer to follow made for a reasonably smooth ride. It is an overall basic cartoon series that is enjoyable to an extent.

The packaging is terrible. Rather than using a DVD case designed to hold three discs, its a DVD case with some sort of square inside and inside the square, they've put the three dvds inside three small dvd envelopes

(Think gamestop if you're a gamer of any kind)

As we all know, this will cause the discs to scratch over time.

So I plan to buy a proper 3-disc DVD case to replace this with so my discs don't scratch.

I'm sure this is just terrible design from the manufactures, but its a hassle

Glitch in "The Scales of Justice" Episode

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 5, 2012

Verified Purchase

I bought this as a blind buy and I must say I am really enjoying the show. The storylines are well-crafted and the animation is great. However, there appears to be a glitch on Disc #1 in the episode entitled "The Scales of Justice": at time interval 3:29 the disc freezes (and it's not a normal layer transition freeze) and then jumps immediately right into the middle of another scene with Holmes and crew fighting mythical creatures. The timer on my DVD doesn't skip ahead and the total episode runs at 16:06 minutes rather than the normal 22 minutes, so obviously about 6 minutes of footage is missing. I think it is an error how the disc was manufactured and I will be contacting Mill Creek Entertainment about the issue. Anyone else experiencing this problem?

Darby

UPDATE 11/11/12:
Mill Creek recently send me a pressed replacement Disc #1 and the episode plays just fine now, so it appears that they have fixed glitch. If you find that you have purchased a copy that still has the glitch, email Mill Creek at support@millcreekent.com to request a replacement disc.
