It’s almost impossible to successfully update a beloved character/story to modern times and not end up upsetting someone.

But if they don’t go far enough and leave the character/story mostly as-is then why update in the first place?
The characters of the Sherlock Holmes series of stories have been updated a couple of different ways the last few years.
