Masterlist of My Reviews of Sherlock Holmes Adaptations

I may have become a bit obsessed with watching other adaptations of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes characters, to the point where it seemed prudent to put up a masterlist of my thoughts/reviews to keep things organized. Yay! The Russian adaptation is definitely on my to-watch-at-some-point list.
