Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency
Everything is connected.
Created by Max Landis
On BBC America
A frenetic, absurdist comedy-thriller built on the collision between a chaotic detective's holistic worldview and his grounded assistant's bewilderment, where nothing is straightforward and everything connects in unexpected ways.
A comedic thriller that follows the bizarre adventures of eccentric “holistic” detective Dirk Gently and his reluctant assistant Todd. An adaptation of Douglas Adams’ wildly successful comic novels.
