About this show

Corpses - cops - trap - cult - assassins - Pararibulitis - vampires - lottery ticket - kitten - corgi - EVERYTHING IS CONNECTED! Welcome to the world of BBC AMERICA's Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency; a trippy mystery that thrusts a reluctant sidekick into the bizarre world of an unconventional detective who believes in the interconnectedness of all things. When washed-up rocker Todd Brotzman (Elijah Wood) stumbles upon the murder scene of a millionaire, all hell breaks loose. Eccentric detective, Dirk Gently (Samuel Barnett), wholly believes they're destined to untangle the peculiar events surrounding the mystery together, whether Todd likes it or not! A collection of wild and dangerous characters' further infiltrate and complicate their world, each episode landing them a few random steps closer to uncovering the truth. Penned by Max Landis (American Ultra, Chronicle), Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency is an adaptation of the wildly popular novels by Douglas Adams ("A Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy"), from the studio that produced The Walking Dead.

It's as if the Trope Train derailed on its way through Metaville and caused an explosion at the Exposition Factory. Like watching four different shows from four completely different genres at the same time, none of them good. And they keep shouting over each other trying to tell you how clever they are. With Elijah Wood and the clearance bin version of Rik Mayall doing a Doctor Who impression.

A poorman's Dr.Who rip off. Sight gags and silly dialog like preteens on Ritalin.Caged monkeys might enjoy it , but I found episode exhausting. There is better for you funny money..

The plot seems a little convoluted at first but, if you like puzzles, stay with it. It is very much in the vein of the source material with a modern take. And, I feel like it's far more accessible for people who don't necessarily like Sci-Fi, which will cause "real & true" Sci-Fi fans conniptions.
