Yes, Jeremy Brett was the best Holmes ever, his personal issues and depression augmented the role and he sunk so deeply into it that he sometimes referred to Sherlock the character as a real person.

Other portrayals shows healthy detectives full of vitality and charm but Jeremy Brett understood the brilliant but self abusive sometimes obsessive character with many layers to his complicted personality.

Yeah, I the flaws define the character, more even than the relationship with Watson in my eyes. I quite enjoyed Johnny Lee miller in "elementary" the same way for actually being shown struggling.

Superhero Downey Jr type holmes' are fine in their own way but sort of misses the point.
