While an enjoyable view this Dirk comes across more as a bumbling fool than an educated eccentric.

Douglas Adams ... don't need to say more. I've seen before. Like the actors.

The chemistry between Woods and Barnett are what drives this story
Jan 06, 2022J0kGrZw1Ld2 rated this title 2.5 out of 5 stars
Yeah this was really surprisingly good. The best thing about it is the on-screen chemistry of Barnett and Woods. There are some characters I felt were more of a hinderance to the storyline - mostly the cops - like all of them. And some I…

Sorry, contrarian view. While I like Douglas Adams novels in general, the Gently book left me completely cold. Unlike the video series which I thought was amazing. My only gripe is that they didn't make a third season.

It's really good, but nothing like the books. It's essentially an original, but without the name it would be ripoff. if you were looking for an adaptation, this will wholly disappoint, and even insult you. if you have not read the…

I worship at the altar of Douglas Adams, including his creation, Dirk Gently. This video is so far removed from the book-version of Gently that the two have (as far as I can see) nothing in common except the name. It is simply dreadful. Do…

If you're a Douglas Adams fan you'll enjoy this. Otherwise, you might not be able to make head nor tails of it. If this is the sort of thing you like, you will like this. lol

For fans of the Douglas Adams book you'll be happy to know that this series is quirky and weird. Funny even. Definitely a few head scratching moments. You may also want to know that the title and character names are all that it has in…

listen. this show is so bizarre. it's unabashedly weird. but I adore it so much. I've been telling people to watch it from 2016. If you like Doctor Who, it's very similar to season 5 in my opinon. it's got a confusing season long mystery…

Don’t know what age group this is intended for, but too weird for our tastes.

I avoided borrowing this series for years because it looks really stupid. The 1st episode confirms my suspicions. It looked like it might appeal to kids so why does it turn up in a search for adult Sci Fi?

Too much gratuitous violence for me. I didn't even get through the first episode, and I so wanted to like this series (loved the books). The violence was especially jarring given the goofy tone. Goofy is fine. Violence is sometimes…

Beyond stupid.

If you are a fan of the Douglas Adams' s novel, be warned - this is nothing like the book. The main character is Todd Brotzman, a down-on-his-luck musician turned bellboy, played by Elijah Wood. Todd is swept into a maelstrom of…

Agree with whippets. What a dud. Like being inside the nervous breakdown of a charmless goof, who thinks and speaks only in repetitive inanity. We're fans of Douglas Adams but not of Dirk. Didn't like the books, didn't like this. Despite…

'Holistic Detective Agency'?? The worst title ever for this series! It makes sense in a weird way only! This is not a classical detective series! So, if you are a standard mystery fan, give this one a miss! This was a strange and a…

I watche both seasons and thought they were great. The basic premise is that everything is connected so you have to pay attention. Since that's the basic premise of both "holistic" and the modus operandi of good detective stories you know…

This must be one of the gayest shows on TV, not because anything happens in bed, but for the sheer over the top sensibility. Tremendously enjoyable and full of energy. The actors really put their all into it. It's a trip to see…

Meh......it got ridiculous towards the end. I hung in there and watched it, but will not be catching series 2 when it comes out

Weird at first, you have to hang in there, not for kids though, lots of bad language and blood.

If you like Riverdale, you'll probably like this show. You have to pay attention to everything though, it's all interconnected from the very beginning. It's also very violent and lots of blood, but if you can make it to the end, the payoff…
