There is a significant difference in the experience of the consumer based on the medium of both stories.

Since the episode allows the viewer to more completely visualize and experience the story, it's much more engaging than the play, which is just written. There is much more atmosphere and the viewer can connect with the characters.

Naturally, the stories diverge when it comes to the setting. They take place in different years and thus the narrative must be adapted to fit.
The play mostly follows the original, but the episode takes some significant liberties.
In the episode, Baskerville Hall is replaced with a military lab, and the story includes much more of the town and moor.

I believe that the episode is better than the play. It creates more atmosphere, has more compelling characters, a more interesting story, and generally feels more unique than the play. Whereas the play seems content to put a Sherlock Holmes spin on a derivative, basic mystery story, the episode manages to adapt a classic story and fit it into a modern setting while keeping it fresh and unique, while furthering the plot of the show and developing the viewer's understanding of its characters. In general, the episode feels deeper and more realized than the play.

Both stories are adaptations of the same original work, the novel by Arthur Conan Doyle. This means that the underlying focus is the same, like two different trains running on the same track. They may not be the same type of train or carrying the same cargo, but they're going in the same direction.
Both stories involve Sherlock and Watson being called to the moor to investigate the death of a man by a "hound". Both are full of red herrings. In both, the hound is not what it seemed to be.

The Hounds of Baskerville is the 2nd episode of the second season of Sherlock, a TV show. The show follows Sherlock Holmes (played by Benedict Cumberbatch) and Dr. John Watson (played by Martin Freeman) as they travel around solving mysteries and crimes, with emphasis on the relationship between the two characters. It's an engaging hybrid of mystery, thriller, and drama, which makes for an interesting narrative and gives a platform for the writers to adapt the original stories.

The Hounds of Baskerville makes a significant departure from the original story, which is to be expected since it takes place over 100 years later. Sherlock and Watson are approached by a man named Henry Knight, who claims to have witnessed his father's death at the hands of a giant dog with red eyes. He says it is connected to Baskerville, a military lab that is rumored to produce genetically engineered animals, one of which is the giant dog that Henry speaks of. Sherlock and Watson agree to take the case.

When they arrive, they begin their investigation. Many locals are aware of the rumors regarding the hound, which have boosted tourism in the area. When night falls, they go to Dewer's Hollow, the place where Henry's father was killed, where Sherlock and Henry see the hound. This shakes Sherlock deeply.

The next day, they go to the lab and investigate, where they meet Frankland, who offers to help them, and Kathy Stapleton, who is originally presented as a possible antagonist. Over time, they gather more information, and it is revealed that there is no hound at all, but Frankland has been using a gas to cause Henry to hallucinate, and a man that was under its effects killed Henry's father. Ultimately, Frankland tries to run away, but kills himself with a landmine.

The Hound of the Baskervilles is a play adaptation of the novel of the same name by Arthur Conan Doyle. It follows Sherlock and Watson as they investigate the death of Sir Charles Baskerville, at the request of Lady Agatha. It's a classic murder mystery story, full of red herrings, and focused more on side characters rather than Watson and Holmes. This puts the reader into a sort of detective role, piecing together clues as they follow primarily Watson and Sir Henry through the case, while Holmes is away conducting his own investigation out on the moor.

I expect the author of the play made this choice to pull Holmes out of the fore of the story in order to keep things interesting since the nature of his character can sometimes seem to pull the focus away from the mystery and more toward his conclusions. I appreciate this decision and believe Holmes is better suited to this role (at least as he is depicted in this iteration of his character).

However, the mystery itself isn't terribly interesting. For most of the story, Watson and Sir Henry mostly switch between Mr. and Mrs. Barrymore, Sir Charles's servants, and Lady Agatha, the executrix of Charles's estate, who also performed his autopsy and was the one to call Holmes. Over time, this gets boring, and though eventually, we do see new suspects, the beginning of the play is a little dry, save for the red herrings, of which there are many, but that is not exclusive to the play.
