December 06, 2016
Quirky sci-fi comedy is fun but can be violent.
December 12, 2016
It's a compulsively watchable show, but its breathless, urgent tone brings it closer to E4's Misfits than to anything Adams wrote.
October 26, 2016
They delivered fantastically, and maybe even surprised a few people.
October 24, 2016
Dirk Gently is gorgeous, ambitious, pre-meditated chaos, a firework shot into a crowded room, or a child drawing with lipstick on the good wallpaper, grounded only by subtle performances by Elijah Wood, and Samuel Barnett as the titular detective.
October 24, 2016
There's something undoubtedly appealing about a show with presumably an overarching narrative that also functions as a giant puzzle box.
November 04, 2016
It amounts to a scattershot narrative that only really works because of creator/writer Max Landis's wit. Beneath all the details is a cutting humor that, in a rare move, is actually humorous.
December 15, 2016
As a freewheeling comedy-thriller, Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency is agreeably daft entertainment even if it doesn't crib heavily from Douglas Adams' novels, serving as an incredibly loose adaptation.
October 27, 2016
The problem here is the writing, which consistently feels belabored and overtly complicated while the show itself remains largely just about Dirk and Todd and their adventures.
October 24, 2016
It's dark and funny and appalling and sad and silly, and very much its own thing.
