Dirk Gently, détective holistique

During the last three days I've been speed-watching this gem on Netflix. Granted 2-3 episodes from the first season didn't make much sense, but after that, I couldn't stop watching. This is one of the ,most fulfilling and interesting shows ever. Granted, the characters in the show are highly overpowered, As the whole show is about universe giving them incredible abilities such as create realities in the sleep, a godlike ability, or an ability to kill everything without getting hurt or effectively objected. As a whole it felt like a positive "Final Destination" movie. I really hope some one will pick it up for more seasons.

Update from 04/2022 I decided to rewatch it, and once again couldn't stop watching for two days straight. Please bring it back! It so much better and smarter than most of the shows that are being released nowadays. Netflix, that is your chance to step up and get ahead. Everything in this show works!

The only bad part was when it ended all too soon. Apparently shows intended for idiots can go on forever, but anything remotely interesting is cancelled because the braindead masses have declared with one voice that it isn't X-Factor or whatever, so they're not interested.

I read the book many years ago, but went into this show with 0 expectations and open to where it would take me. And I kinda love it! It's a madcap, comedy/adventure that I think captures Douglass Adams' narrative style (at least as it applies to the Hitchhiker's Guide - my fav book of all time). It's a little bit out there, sure, but that's how the source material is. After watching the first two episodes back to back, I'm in. 100%. I can't wait to see where they go with this show. Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency is a lot of fun and I'm excited to continue with it.

Don't pay too much mind to the negative reviews. This show is going to find a sweet spot with an audience, and if it looks interesting to you, give it a try. You may like it or dislike it, but you certainly wont be bored by it!

I just binge watched the first two seasons in a few days and absolutely loved this quirky way of storytelling, the completely unpredictable world and storylines, and it was clearly set up for a season 3. All the reviews on her seem to suggest that it's loved by almost everyone who watched it, so I cannot understand why it was cancelled. I think perhaps it wasn't advertised very well on Netflix? I only just discovered it and definitely would have watched it years ago if I knew about it. Please please stop wasting money on terrible Noah Centineo rom-coms and crap like more seasons of 13 reasons why and bring this back!

I can't recall the last time I was this fulfilled by a television show. I watched the first season this past February, and I was amazed that I hadn't heard of it until then. I quickly fell in love with it due to its refreshing originality, compelling storytelling, and fascinating bunch of characters. This is no ordinary show; it's intentionally wacky and confusing, it subverts tropes and cliches all over the place, and nothing is as it seems at first. Underneath it all, however, everything is connected in the most satisfying and entertaining ways imaginable. The second season just finished airing this past Saturday, and it was somehow even better than the first.

It was revealed yesterday that Dirk Gently would not be brought back for a third season on BBCA, and I can only hope Netflix picks it up, because it would be absolutely devastating if this incredible show didn't get the run it so mightily deserves.
