Would you say basically Sherlock killed this show?
Now I love Sherlock, it is amazing, but I feel like it may have helped to push Dirk Gently off the air. I know it was cancelled mostly because of budget cuts but I've read a lot of reviews and recaps comparing this to Sherlock and while a lot of them skewed favorably toward Dirk Gently on the writing side, they often said Sherlock easily outshone DG with its large budget. It's just a shame there wasn't enough room for both. I also sort of feel that Sherlock won't last much longer because of the growing careers of its stars whereas Dirk Gently, had it not been cancelled, would have potentially lasted through several series.
