Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency

I just binge watched the first two seasons in a few days and absolutely loved this quirky way of storytelling, the completely unpredictable world and storylines, and it was clearly set up for a season 3. All the reviews on her seem to suggest that it's loved by almost everyone who watched it, so I cannot understand why it was cancelled. I think perhaps it wasn't advertised very well on Netflix? I only just discovered it and definitely would have watched it years ago if I knew about it. Please please stop wasting money on terrible Noah Centineo rom-coms and crap like more seasons of 13 reasons why and bring this back!

I cannot even begin to explain just how upset I am that BBC America/Netflix has decided to cancel this unbelievably funny, witty, face-paced, intelligent, bonkers, funny, dark, twisty, crazy, show that I am here to do add my weight to #savedirkgently for what it's worth.

Full of astonishing loveable and beautifully written characters. So different from the normal, boring, straight, obvious, banal trash that seems to get renewed season after season. Edge of seat tension, laugh out loud funny, hugely high calibre of cast, based on ideas from Douglas Adams (who was always ahead of his time). I am a massive fan of DA and these books were respectful to his ideology, even if they weren't an exact replica of his books. In fact I would say they stand alone as being something quite different, refreshing and new. DA would have LOVED it! Everything IS connected.

Just utterly brilliant and when season 2 ended I was SOOO excited about the possibilities clearly set up and poised for the next season, that when I discovered BBC America had cancelled I was SO confused!

Only the weight of fans beating down the doors of BBC America might get them to re-think their utter lack of respect to their viewing public. THE BBC would never do this (and why I will always be happy to pay my BBC licence, as they are responsible for some of the best telly ever made) but clearly BBC America is just another knee jerk reactionary television maker who make short term decisions based on... What? With the way television is consumed these days you cannot base the success of a program on such a short term set of data. Some programs need time for people to find them. Not all of us can watch when we want to and that is the point of Netflix subscriptions surely? I have recommended to a load of people who are now thanking me for the recommendation, and yet now I feel bad because when Season 2 closes for them, they are going to be as frustrated and upset as I am.

HOW do television makers decide whether to make a sew season? Noone is asking for yet another LOST, where season after pointless season was made, never reaching a satisfying conclusion, and yet that was allowed to happen.

I have NO problem with a fantastic series coming to an end, with a clear drawing of a line, and a full stop - but to set up for a whole new story and then cancel? Nah - that's not on. MAKE THE DAMN SEASON 3 AND REACH AN ENDING!

Don't leave Bart in a dark room. I'll think about her forever and be sad.

I've read lots of negative comments but I'm thoroughly enjoying this after 3 episodes. Completely faithful adaptations of Douglas Adams seem kinda pointless as so much of his greatness was dependent on the ideas and the bizarre and impossible views he would conjure with words. The wit in his books was never heavily concentrated into the dialog and I think much would make visually dull jokes which required constant and tedious exposition (a permanently stuck sofa just looks too everyday and common to ever be funny).

The cast are younger and more attractive than they would have been in a completely British adaptation and everything happens at great pace but I think that was needed because visually you could never present jokes and ideas as densely as Adams did in his books. I really love one character from the trailers and every scene she has been in; she reminds me of a signature I once read along the lines of "Karma is wonderful, I can treat people bad all day confident in the knowledge that they deserved it."

I think this hugely entertaining even if it only borrows ideas and style from the books fairly lightly . I think most people are likely to enjoy both as quite different things however if you can't appreciate both just consider that books get to tell jokes in much the same way as video don't.

The only bad part was when it ended all too soon. Apparently shows intended for idiots can go on forever, but anything remotely interesting is cancelled because the braindead masses have declared with one voice that it isn't X-Factor or whatever, so they're not interested.

I can't recall the last time I was this fulfilled by a television show. I watched the first season this past February, and I was amazed that I hadn't heard of it until then. I quickly fell in love with it due to its refreshing originality, compelling storytelling, and fascinating bunch of characters. This is no ordinary show; it's intentionally wacky and confusing, it subverts tropes and cliches all over the place, and nothing is as it seems at first. Underneath it all, however, everything is connected in the most satisfying and entertaining ways imaginable. The second season just finished airing this past Saturday, and it was somehow even better than the first.

It was revealed yesterday that Dirk Gently would not be brought back for a third season on BBCA, and I can only hope Netflix picks it up, because it would be absolutely devastating if this incredible show didn't get the run it so mightily deserves.
