It's not a unique premise (tales from Sherlock's absence) but it does do it in an interesting way which makes it stand out. Naturally, the stories differ from the classics and in one or two places they add to the mythos but they also might be seen to change it. Great narration as always by Michael Langan.

Interesting premise
