The influence of Sherlock Holmes on popular culture is immeasurable, with the character's methods and deductive reasoning continuing to inspire generations of writers, filmmakers, and artists. Conan Doyle's stories have been translated into over 50 languages and have been adapted into numerous films, television shows, and stage productions.
