The pilot is very good. Sherlock Holmes by Douglas Adams - what could be better? Plus a little more Detective Monk. It looks easy and interesting.

the series is very interesting and funny. nothing is clear yet, but the characters that have been revealed, i.e. Dirk, Amanda and Todd, are very cool. Dirk is amazing, and I already love him! the dialogues of the minor characters also make you smile.
It's nice that the events of the books (divan and Thor) were mentioned at least in passing.
I want to mention the soundtrack separately. It was written by Cristobal Tapia de Veer, the author of the soundtracks for the TV series "Utopia" and "Humans", as well as for the film "The Girl with All the Gifts". at the same time lyrical and dynamic, the composer's handwriting is immediately recognizable, it's great that he is working on the musical accompaniment to this series!
we can say that 6 weeks before the release of the first series, I already knew that this was my new favorite series :I hope and believe that it will not disappoint in the future.

A magnificent series, swept through like a hurricane of events! Indeed, little is clear yet (especially if you don't read books), what kind of kitten and dog (and its owners?), why would that guy from rowdy 3 take a photo of Todd's sister, and also what he saw on the 18th floor of the hotel? Did it seem to me that the second person is Dirk too? Well, judging by the promo photos and his clothes.
I was really looking forward to the series because of Barnett and, of course, he did not disappoint, he is incredibly good in such a role. I already really like all the main characters, these funny detectives.. In general, we will wait further with:
P.S. The song "first things first" at the end, seriously? I've been listening to her for the last month. What a coincidence ahah

the incendiary series.
how many events. There are so many invisible threads that connect these very events. and what kind of energy is inspired by all these scuffles, running, fights, etc.
and how many questions at the same time. It's clear that the episode is the first and they won't tell you anything like that right away. but for me, the biggest mystery is Dirk Gently himself. It feels like he's something special.
and Dirk's canary jacket will remind you of itself for a long time.

I think I'll get on with the book now.

@ArthurAkberdin: It's not clear to me why everyone needs Dirk so much. One of them wants to kill him. Others are following him because of something important related to himself, as if he were a valuable resource. The third gang, apparently, was also looking for him, but for a different reason.

I understand that everything will be told later. but the last one haunts me.
but the most important thing is what exactly this gang did to him. It was as if they had pulled something out of him.

@Doctor_SD: The series is only based on the books, but there are references. I watched the English version a few years ago - it looks more like a film adaptation, but, unfortunately, it's not as interesting as the first episode of the new series. I hope it will continue in the same spirit with a general humorous tone and funny nonsense.

And the actors fit in more here, in my opinion.

It's just fucking amazing. It's been a long time since I've had so many emotions from the series. A kind of mixture of Utopia and a Preacher. From the first, there is a plot and a composer, and from the second, a bunch of strange personalities and a similar degree of pizdets.

It's brilliant! Even if I hadn't known that the series was based on Adams, I would still have caught his spirit. An intriguing and inspiring, but at the same time completely light and funny sight.
By the way, Dirk himself seemed to me a little like Doctor Who in character, there is some extravagance in him. So, probably, his fans will like the series.

@Amy_Caulfield: You are very well connected with the Doctor, since Adams partly based Dirk (the books, of course) on his work in Doctor Who — the series "City of Death" and "Shada". It even has its own timelord) You can read the novelization of the School of Data Analysis on this topic.

I just fell in love with the main characters from the very first minutes! The terribly charismatic Dirk, and the eternally surprised and depressed Tod (Elijah is perfect in such a role), with whom I was freaking out from what was happening)And the secondary characters are all very bright, in general, I enjoyed watching them very much!

I would like to draw an analogy with another work by Douglas Adams. There's a book called The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. It's a great book. She has two film adaptations: an old British one and a fresh semi-American one. The old one is simply amazing, completely conveys the atmosphere, corresponds to the plot and conveys the character of the book. (except for the blonde scientist). The new one is bullshit. Just about nothing. The best jokes are forgotten, the characters are not the same, but it is made closer to the people, and to the American people. I see the same situation with Dirk. Is the doctor popular? Let's make another doctor and name him Dirk! And his assistant has no right to be at least minimally successful, people love losers, etc. That's not at all what the pilot expected.

It's very reminiscent of Doctor Who, especially the behavior of Samuel Barnett's character, and the confusion of what's happening, coupled with the fact that it's not fucking clear. It looks like an interesting possible alternative to Doctor Who, I hope they succeed, Elijah Wood is great as always.

Dynamically, cheerfully, from the first shots, the plot, the intrigue, the corpses, and even the cat are in your face.

I actually turned it on just to see what kind of series it was, but after the elevator doors opened on the 18th floor, I couldn't tear myself away until the very end of the episode.
and what kind of dialogues are there! Everyone can be quoted:
"Who is this? what's happening?
- the wild trio.
"but there are four of them!"
- do you think I do not know!"
P.S. Dirk in his yellow jacket is just lovely)

I only read the first book a long time ago, and my impressions were contradictory - a lot of gorgeous individual plots, episodes and characters never intertwined into something whole. And at least the pilot of the series successfully embodies this whole mess. Well, we'll see what happens in the end.

And I'm not mistaken, did Todd see the missing girl at the address where he took the dog?

In fact, I regretted that I started watching this series before waiting for all the episodes to be released. Because watching him ongoing will be an indescribable torment. It's crazy to want to watch everything at once, because I've been waiting for a week with thoughts in my head (what the fuck was that just now????) It's hard.

I started watching because I really liked the British version at the time. It's certainly more mass production, cute

that is, in principle, everything is fine, but why call him Dirk gently too =)

What kind of trash is this? The first thought that came to me after watching the episode. Meanwhile, I really liked the pilot, the charisma of the main characters did its job. It's just impossible not to fall in love with him.😏 The very idea somehow reminded Doctor Who: some kind of weird dude (I am from a very different place. England) comes to you and invites you to meet adventures. And of course, there were some associations with Sherlock (I am not your Watson). I'm looking forward to watching the second episode tonight.

But why didn't they (the police) pay attention to the bullet hole in the window and ceiling when they (the police) took the apartment's corpse? They didn't break the windows.

Everything is very unusual and even crazy, charismatic characters, and it was impossible to stop watching!
It's already common to see Wood as a strange loser, but Todd, after meeting Dirk and finding a lottery ticket, may not have lost everything.
P.S. The day after watching the episode, I saw a corgi running down the street without a leash. Apparently, there really are no coincidences, and everything happens for a reason x)

and Wood still carries the ring with him and doesn't age. and at the same time I changed Wilfred to a new glitchy friend)))

An interesting pilot. It turned out to be a bit crumpled, they immediately showed all the main storylines, nothing is clear. But that's the way it was meant to be, right? But the series does not have a long storyline at the beginning. And God bless the British accent. The main actors are well chosen) to be honest, I don't like this style of pretense among the actors (I'm not talking about the main actors, but in general), but in the series it looks very good. And what kind of bullets are these? Shoot twice so that two random people died? I was surprised by a lady who kills almost everyone. Funny relationship between her and Ken. I hope she doesn't kill him.) It's a pity, I didn't watch this series right away, as soon as it came out, I wanted to, but something was not up to it. In general, I recommend it)

An amazing series! The plot is intriguing, the bright characters are pleasing to the eye. Humor is present, and in some places it borders on madness, and this is a separate plus)))
Despite skeptical expectations (as the book is usually better than the film adaptation), the series justifies its existence)
What I didn't like was the character of Eli Wood. He certainly played well, but sometimes his weak-willed attitude annoyed him.

An incredible series. It's only a pilot yet, and already there are so many emotions. It's a strange, messy, but incredibly addictive story. The dynamics are just fire: before you know it, something happens again. I was very pleased with the humor, which is so vital, sometimes absurd and therefore very funny. Surprisingly, by the third minute of the first episode, I realized that I had found a new favorite series for myself. Charismatic actors cannot leave you indifferent to stupefaction, you want to watch and watch them. I'm glad I came across this series, I want to keep watching and not tear myself away. It's incredibly cool.

A comment like "WHAT JUST HAPPENED?!" perfectly describes the emotions of watching the first episode.

Neither what happened before, nor what will happen next, nor what just happened, damn it!

It looks like everything and nothing at the same time! This is probably the main strength of the series - a bunch of visualized homages to pop culture, but at the same time, subtly and authentically. Backed up by an absolute maelstrom of fun and thrash.

It's not clear at all, but the characters are fascinating from the very first minutes. But my favorite in terms of coolness so far is the killer who has finally moved out. The gentle one! And Zimmerfeld with his eyebrows:D

And, of course, corgis! Corgis always go out of competition.

To be honest, the rating is high, everyone recommends the series unrealistically, but after watching it to the end, I wouldn't say that it's cool, and not everyone will like it, and the rating is too high for me. The first 2 episodes were still interesting, but then they weren't very interesting. Everything is too banal and there is a lot of fiction. Well, really, I would even say the plot and the picture are for children.

I was hooked by what they said here, that the plot is related to time, etc. And yes, it is, but only in the first season, and then everything is too drearily done, as if the plot was written by a student.

People say that the plot is a brain explosion (very complex and confusing). Are you serious? Do you have an IQ of 5? I wonder if THIS is a complicated plot, then what would you say about the plot from the DARKNESS.

Humor is not funny, again for children. In the first season, there were literally 4-5 jokes that smiled and that was it.

There are a lot of holes in the plot. Obscure characters (Where did they come from? Who are they? Why are they doing this?)
A lot of unnecessary dialogue. It was possible to do a series of 20-25 minutes rather than an hour.

Generally 2-3 maxims with a stretch of a point out of 5.

Well, actually, you should not forget about the original source. It is made as an adaptation of the book by Douglas Adam Adams. And Adams basically has a peculiar vision))) anyone who has read it will understand))) The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is also a film adaptation of one of his books. It's very difficult to make films based on his books. And then it turned out very well. The series is entertaining and doesn't bother with boring and serious faces. I won't write anything about the second season. But the first one is cool.
P.S. This is the second film adaptation. There was another one before that.
