I don't rate things 10 stars very often, I'll be honest. No matter what it is you watch, there is bound to be something you don't like. It's a fact of life! However, it's safe to say that there is absolutely nothing I have disliked about Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency.

While being inspired by and rooted in the world of Douglas Adams' books, this show still manages to be unique and original. The stories are complicated, border lining on insane at times, but the plot holds up under scrutiny and is true to its slogan: everything is connected. Max Landis has done what nobody else really could; he's adapted a Douglas Adams novel in a way I think the fans and the author himself would truely appreciate.

The characters are complex, compelling, and incredibly flawed. Every last one of them has at least some tendency to be even just a little bit of an asshole. And that's what makes them so likable! This show has given diverse and engaging characters that are shockingly relatable. Not to mention Landis and company have already tackled topics that other shows have shied away from, mental illness being one in particular.

I've recommended this show to practically everybody I know, whether they're fans of gritty crime thrillers, action-packed sci-fi adventures, or even afternoon sitcoms. I guarantee, Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency is like nothing you've ever seen before.
