Confession: I’m one of those awful, boring, insufferable Sherlock Holmes purists who can’t abide any version of the characters and/or stories that deviate too far from the original canon. I know, I’m the worst, but it’s just the way I am.
With one exception: “Sherlock & Co.” by Goalhanger podcasts. They are updating the original 56 stories, setting them in the present day with a more inclusive cast of characters and the advantages of modern technology. I can’t imagine how difficult reconfiguring some of the details must be, but they’re somehow pulling it off, and I’m a huge fan.
That’s why I wanted to send them a box – just a sign of respect and affection between Sherlock Holmes nerds. I sent them the best box I have available at the moment, which happens to be “The Resident Patient,” and I’m happy that it will have a loving forever home.
