Dirk & Todd
Good but too much
The first episode of "Dirk Gently's" offers an introduction to the series' eccentric universe, with captivating characters and a plot that promises mysteries and twists. However, some scenes were confusing or exaggerated, the events moved too quickly and seemed like they were trying to surprise you or catch your attention. Only this episode could be divided into 3 as there are many parallel stories that are unconnected and can take a while to establish themselves. Overall, I liked it, it's a promising debut, but with room for improvement. (sorry if there are some spelling errors English is not my native language)
Spoilerfree review of the second season of Dirk Gently
I am a bit disappointed with this second season. The first was d*mn near perfect for me: witty, funny, cynical, very original and mostly well acted. The first season I would rate 9 stars.
But this season ... well. It is not only much darker and moodier, which would be fine by me, it is also less expertly done. Some plot holes are ok of course, considering the absurdity of it all. But some are just lazy. And the acting was also less satisfying than season one - even though some actors are thankfully still brilliant. There are some great additions too.
To stay without spoilers I'll say this:
I am very glad that Dirk Gently was renewed, and I enjoyed watching the second season for the most part. But it leaves me a bit underwhelmed. I hope they get season three back up to speed.
PS: For those who are wondering. There is no real cliffhanger at the end of season two ;)
