Wondered if anyone would mention this, also if you haven't tried it the Netflix version of Dirk Gently is wonderful, departs from the books without departing from the characters.
- bostik 8y agoThe first season is delicious, the second one (unfortunately) veers too far off into the odd mix of fantasy, conspiracy theories and mysticism. I'm curious what the third one brings. Casting-wise, I am not sure Elijah Wood was the best choice. Big name for impact maybe, but the role just feels ill-fitting.

- noir_lord 8y agoI really enjoyed the second season but yes the first season was better bordering on sublime. Much better than the BBC version (and very different). When I heard they where doing an american version I didn't expect much wondering how it would translate...it turns out, very well.
