Season 7
Jeremy Brett is Sherlock Holmes.
Synopsis
Sherlock Holmes (1984) Season 7 watch online on iFILM — Granada's final six episodes from 1994, aired as The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes. This is Jeremy Brett's last turn as the detective, and the season plays like a farewell to his Holmes.
The cases run small but tightly wound. An elderly widow at the Three Gables becomes the target of a strange house-buyer; Holmes fakes a deathbed fever to trap a poisoner; Inspector Hopkins arrives with the riddle of a golden pince-nez; the Red Circle hides an Italian-American crime syndicate. In The Mazarin Stone, the detective is so frail that Mycroft and Watson do most of the legwork — an echo of Brett's own failing health. The Cardboard Box ends it: a spinster receives a parcel of severed ears, and the great detective takes his final case.
It watches differently from the early years. Brett plays a tired, aged Holmes, and that fragility lends the ending a bitter honesty. For fans of the canonical portrayal, it's the finale to see. Stream all episodes of Season 7 on iFILM.
