While I'm complaining about modern Sherlock Holmes adaptations...why do they keep making Holmes and anti-social asshole?
I mean he was, but ONLY to upper class, privileged asshats demanding unearned respect due to a bloodline. He was incredibly empathetic and spoke kindly to clients and victims.

Anthropomorphic animal with a large chin smoking a curved pipe and carrying a large magnifying glass in its right hand. It wears a deerstalker hat and a coat, both of which have a square pattern. On the ground in front of it is a large footprint. The background is solid black apart from a large pair of eyes that can be seen over the creatureβs left shoulder. The words β It was the footprint of a gigantic houndβ are written at the top of the image.

Five little livid spots, the marks of four fingers and a thumb, were printed upon the white wrist.

βYou have done wisely,β said my friend.
βBut have you told me all?β

βMiss Roylott, you have not. You are screening your stepfather.β

For answer Holmes pushed back the frill of black lace which fringed the hand that lay upon our visitorβs knee. 1/2
βIt was a bitter night, so we drew on our ulsters and wrapped cravats about our throats. Outside, the stars were shining coldly in a cloudless sky, and the breath of the passers-by blew out into smoke like so many pistol shots.β BLUE #SherlockHolmes
