It begins when he arrives at work one day and is sent up to the hotel's penthouse, where he discovers millionaire Patrick Spring has been murdered. An odd chain of events that unfolds leads to Todd becoming a person of interest in the crime and losing his job. That is when he meets Dirk Gently, a fast-talking, eccentric detective who has been hired to investigate the murder. He believes that he and Todd are destined to solve the mystery together. Once Dirk is able to convince Todd to work with him, the latter is visited by wild, dangerous characters -- all associated with Dirk -- who complicate his life further. Dirk, meanwhile, is being hunted by seemingly deranged assassin Bart, who almost kills a man she mistakenly believes to be the detective. Read More Read Less

Brad Newsome Sydney Morning Herald Bonkers? Very much so - but with an internal coherence that begins to reveal itself just as the viewer might begin to doubt its very existence. Mar 28, 2018 Full Review Tristram Fane Saunders Daily Telegraph (UK) It's a compulsively watchable show, but its breathless, urgent tone brings it closer to E4's Misfits than to anything Adams wrote. Rated: 3/5 Dec 12, 2016 Full Review Gail Pennington St. Louis Post-Dispatch It's dark and funny and appalling and sad and silly, and very much its own thing. Rated: 3/4 Oct 24, 2016 Full Review Lili Loofbourow The Week Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency inhales and says hey, maybe we're all just pawns in some giant cosmic scheme of which we're unaware and for which we are - at best - incidental. Aug 28, 2017 Full Review Katharine Trendacosta io9.com It is, by virtue of its pacing, entertaining. But at the end of the episode, you can't figure out why you watched it. Mar 14, 2017 Full Review Patrick Sproull Den of Geek 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. Dec 15, 2016 Full Review Read all reviewsAnton A Interesting first season with a good plot, twists and strong cast. Samuel Barnett, Elijah Wood and Fionna Douriff make each of their scenes count. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/11/24 Full Review Qer Extremely witty writing that is executed well by these talented actors. It's wacky and chaos to the extreme but everything makes sense in the end. It masterfully juggles multiple plots and perspectives. The only caveat is that it's not faithful to the plot of the book, so if you are a Douglass Adams fan expect to see something very different but great regardless. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/07/24 Full Review German M A volte è esagerata ma è anche piena di belli personaggi, bellis momente ed scene bizarre. Riesce a portare avanti diverse sottotrame senza dimenticarle e alla fine tutte le storie convergono senza troppe forzature. Mi son goduto ogni puntata, Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/19/23 Full Review Gypsi K Netflix please bring back Dirk Gently's holistic detective agency! We love this show! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/10/23 Full Review Mike W Great show for people who enjoy off the wall, silly sci-fi. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 05/28/23 Full Review Lukas-Jeremie K Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency is an American fantasy crime series that premiered on BBC America in 2016. The story follows the highly idiosyncratic detective Dirk Gently and his reluctant assistant on their surreal adventures around grand metaphysical mysteries. "Dirk Gentlys" is certainly good for anyone who likes crazy stories and wacky characters, but unfortunately it wasn't for me. I was all too wacky and almost ne complete sensory overload. I only watched the series to the end because I hope that one day it will still grab me. Unfortunately it didn't happen, but that's probably due to personal preferences.
