With a ton of relevance to modern nerd/shut-in/hikikomori stereotypes

Imagine a modern series where MI6 is secretly run by some low-level civil service employee who never leaves his apartment and likes anime

Imagine importing word-for-word the original Mycroft's spiel abt how he hates solving crime bc it means talking to people and taking sides

Imagine the Diogenes Club as one of those gamer pubs with a strict rule on no non-game-related conversations

Or else have the Diogenes Club be an online "place" (Diogenes Chat) w purely anon handles

Mycroft was a great "NPC" character, a dude who's a very useful but unreliable resource bc he's an amoral and lazy douche

He fits so neatly into that "hacker sidekick" stereotype - almost too neatly, he's like the pre-computer origin of that stereotype

The part where the amoral hacker literally "is the British government" is a great satirical twist I wish they could've pulled off

Ha I like the "Diogenes Chan" idea, that he's a wannabe anarchist online while also secretly running the deep state

And seeing no contradiction bc his whole character is being cut off from reality and the concept that actions have consequences

Mycroft's blithe obliviousness to human consequences was a nasty satire of Victorian bureaucracy and would be 100x more relevant today
