Robert Downey Jr. starred in two Sherlock Holmes movies, with the third one still a possibility. On the small screen, Benedict Cumberbatch gave life to the famous detective over four seasons of BBC's Sherlock. When comparing the two, I believe each project has aspects that top the other. For instance, The Sherlock series had better highs than the RDJ movies, with Cumberbatch giving one of the best performances of his career in the role. However, I think the two Sherlock Holmes movies are more uniformly great than the show, which presents problems as seasons go by.
