I loved Basil Rathbone but Jeremy Brett defined Homes.
In his old age Rathbone told stories on the radio in Children’s Hour. In this role he became one of my role models as a story teller.

Deadpool? Nah.
 
I quite enjoyed the first couple of BBC series’ of Sherlock with Bendystick Cummerbund and Martin Freeman.

Playing Holmes as the higher functioning " somewhere on a spectrum " type well mannered sociopath I thought was well placed stroke to illustrate how genius can come at a cost sometimes.

It’s all just entertainment, whether it’s dead pool or Poirot. They’re far from being the worst films ever created..these days I often find myself switching off or leaving the room after the first ten minutes of a film or pilot episode of a new series. Docu-dramas, paranormal or real crime investigations are possibly the worst offenders. I hate watching a TV production sensationalising or misrepresenting facts.

Not to mention the opiate use. Many a brilliant mind has been too busy for its owner to cope with on a full time basis. Our art and history is littered with the brilliance of such people.

I have one contender for the worst Sherlock Holmes, can anyone guess? Let's just say he normally wears an iron suit!!

There is a walter presents series based on a French detective and her ASD records assistant. Can't remember the series but it is not bad to see how other nations do the detective thing. A bit simplistic with the ASD element though.
 
Enjoyed the first series of The Bridge. Didn’t follow it up.
Also enjoy Tempest.
 
If you mean the original Danish/Swedish version of The Bridge, Bron/Broen. The second season is one of my favourite seasons of TV.

@Jared Yeah. I need to follow up on The Bridge, especially after your recommendation.

What is Deadpool’s superpower?
One of the issues I have with superpowers is that they need a vulnerability or a nemesis otherwise there’s is no story. Once Popeye had swallowed his spinach it was game over for the particular story baddy - usually Bluto. Same with He-man. Once his trousers were off it was a short burst of violence and Skeletor’s plans for world domination were shattered.

This has been known since the beginning of story telling. The Gods of Asgard would be all powerful and boring without a plot device called Loki. He was Superman’s kryptonite, Batman’s Joker.
