Stories that reflected and explored the diverse experiences of humanity in some way were especially intriguing to me. I wondered how else the story might have gone and began searching for other versions of the characters Sir Arthur Conan Doyle created. Like many, I had mixed reactions to the most recent series (season) of the show. One of the versions I turn to is the BBC series Sherlock. I’m not sure what draws me to this archetype but I turn to it again and again, in print and on screen. What do you expect in a Sherlock Holmes story? Perhaps two English men, one who is keenly observant, intellectually curious, and disarmingly blunt the other who falls somewhere between competent partner and fawning assistant, in either case whose main job is to document the adventures of the other? In modern versions the consulting detective is often battling demons of various sorts (drug addiction, compulsive behavior) while still being brilliant and solving crimes.
