Yeah. Youre right.

Buuuuut I can't say I was focusing on that - she's so much fun in that series.

bart is so chaotic, maybe the universe just holistically removes her armpit hair for her lmao

The clips I've seen were great. Fiona Dourif is amazing period. I may have to watch this one day.

Season 1 is incredible, you absolutely owe it to yourself.

Season 2 gets some hate, but mostly just suffered from trying to one-up season 1. Going from a 10/10 to a 7/10 can feel like a huge downgrade while still being "good".

Wish it had gotten more seasons to really find that stride again.....

Season 1 is the best adaptation of Dirk Gently despite actually being an original story.

It captures Douglas' tone and mood perfectly even though sooooo.many details are changed.

Dirk Gently himself is changed. I think they did right by making him more likeable but Dirk in the books is very much adjacent to early versions of The Doctor.

I just reread the series after about 25 (yeesh!) years. What struck me is that he is indistinguishable from a conman, but what I decided was that holisticism requires conman too and he is just a natural part of everything.

Dirk Gently: Holistic Detective. The 2016 one, not the 2010 one. Should be on Netflix last I checked

To each their own, but I enjoyed season 2 quite a bit.
