Sherlock Holmes is one of the most popular fictional characters of all time, but screen adaptations have struggled to properly capture the detective, until Elementary came along. Over the years, the popular works by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle have been adapted dozens of times. Most of the time, this adaptation takes the form of a movie, but some series have been able to adapt the character for a more extensive period. However, in recent history, the most popular adaptations of Holmes featured Robert Downey Jr. in the titular role for the 2009 movie, and its sequel, and the BBC series, Sherlock, starring Benedict Cumberbatch.
