Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency, Season 1

One of the best things I’ve watched in a long time...

I watched the pilot and loved it. One of the better TV shows I have watched.

Really a great show totally recommend it

This is my favorite show ever! Even though it's cancelled on BBC doesn't mean that there won't be a third session on AMC if the Netflix viewership on January 5th is high! Fingers crossed!

The show is at first confusing. Then it becomes interesting. Maybe, it is even on par with Dr Who with complicated content that seems to unravel its mystery in an amusing fashion. The story and the acting are superb. I could say more, but that would be a spoiler. I would say that to me at least, this is one of the best treasures which I have discovered on itunes among offerings that are not so well known. Bravo to all the cast and writers of this production.

First, I absolutely loved this first season. Adored it. It is very little, if anything at all, like the works of Douglas Adams. And while it's sacrilege to cult of Adams & the Sacred Order of "The Books Are ALWAYS Better", I much prefer it to the source material. Don't get me wrong—I liked the books enough. It had some quality Adams humour in it (I, too, liked the bit about the horse) but I always felt guilty & uncomfortable that I wasn't more in love with the story. It actually was difficult to read through with any sort of enthusiasm, which is a shame because every word & turn of phrase was absolutely brilliant in his Hitchhiker series. I felt like the Dirk Gently books were just. . . quaint. This show is something else entirely. It's extremely American for Americans, but it has a bit of a Doctor Who meets Fargo or something sort of feel to it. If you are looking for a straight adaptation of the novels, this series is not it. If you want to constantly compare it to the book and will be continuously disappointed if it isn't accurate to the letter, this is definitely not for you. But if you accept that the spirit of Adams genius was simply a launching point for something very different altogether—an inspiration from vs a faithful retelling—you might find this series has loads to offer and can be quite brilliant in its own ways. I absolutely loved it. That's my two cents at any rate.

Total and complete nonsensical, gratuitously violent, self-indulgent crap.

Exciting，funny and great performances.

More of an homage to the Douglas Adams series, but phenomenally written, and prone to flights of unusual whimsy with a steampunk edge. These characters are loveable misfits, deeply flawed outcasts trying to find meaning in a mad, unforgivingly strange storyline. Pure brilliance.

I highly reccomend this show to pretty much anyone I meet! I encourage people who love Douglas Adams's novels to watch this show, because although it is quite different, it is still an insanely increbible show. I am honestly barely maintaining sanity due to the fact that I now have to wait for who knows how long to get a season 2. Also, one of the things that is really sticking with me is the incredible score. I can't get enough of this high-energy techno music! I need an album of the score so I don't have to use up storage by keeping entire episodes on my phone! I LOVE DIRK GENTLY!!
