Characters based on real people

But the character and work methodology of the detective are inspired by another real person, Dr. Joseph Bell (born in 1847 and 1911) known for his capacity for observation.
COMPARISON WITH TV SERIES AND FILMS
Throughout the years, cinema and television have given us different, if not infinite, versions of the famous detective created by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and his charismatic and inseparable companion, Doctor Watson.
SERIES
The Sherlock Holmes series produced by Mark Gattis and Steven Moffat, which can now be seen by Netflix, presents a dynamic and refreshing image of the classic Sherlock, although unlike previous productions, it is set in 21st century London.
The Holmes of our time is a loner, a reader, a musician and a computer scientist willing to use new modern technologies such as GPS, locators, telephones, the Internet and everything that can be used today, although without neglecting the main feature of the original Holmes, the observation.
While the Holmes of the film has a hyperkinetic, fighter and eccentric look.
‘Elementary’ is a CBS series created by Robert Doherty in 2012 that features a contemporary Sherlock (Jonny Lee Miller) living in New York alongside a Watson played by Lucy Liu. Yes, the original part is that Watson is a woman. The series follows the typical self-conclusive (CSI) pattern of solving mysteries in each chapter.
FILMS
The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes' (Alfred L. Werker, 1939)
Its plot is partially based on the play Sherlock Holmes by William Gillette. The intention of the producer, Darryl F. Zanuck, was in this film to show the greatest virtues and characteristics of Holmes such as his fondness for the violin, his deductive reasoning or his addiction to morphine.
The Hound of the Baskervilles' (1959, Terrence Fisher)
Despite being a high-quality adaptation, it has many more freedoms and differences from the original story especially in the relationship between Mr. de Baskerville and Miss Stapleton.
