MUCH better than the 2016 version


Thins is SO much better than the 2016 series http://www.imdb.com/title/tt4047038/ which is WAY too dark and serious, and totally lacks any humor or respect for what Douglas Adams actually wrote. Avoid that one, and seek out this version, if you haven't already seen it.

I like them both, actually. I never read the two Dirk Gently novels so I don't have to worry about comparing the two series favorably or unfavorable to them. I think the two series each have their own merits. With Dirk Gently (2010) I'm disappointed there are so few episodes because I'm enjoying it enormously. After I watched the first one though, I discovered that there was a pilot episode. So I went back and watched that before going to episode two. Only one more episode left, unfortunately!

Where did you watch this show?

It's basically non existent in the states. I had to illegally download it. For me, the 2010 version is FANTASTIC!! Only watched 1 episode of the new version and will do my best to stick it out.

So far not happy thou :(

I liked them both. I read the Douglas Adams' novels, but I really don't remember them. It's absolutely maddening that they abandoned this brilliant series after only FOUR friggin' episodes! WTF?? IDIOTS!!!
