.... did not know there was a Dirk Gently series.

Need to watch.

[(Anonymous)]

Pilot and two episodes broadcast so far. They are doing the Sherlock model of three episodes a year, so just one episode left for next week. You can see them on the BBC iPlayer.

The sci-fi elements of Dirk vary depending on episode (rather than a straight adaptation, its a "based on the characters and setting created by" style reboot in the same vein as Sherlock), and there are masses and masses of references to all Douglas Adams works including H2G2 and Dr Who. The music on this week's episode was awesome with hints of Baker, Tom's Dr Who and the BBC H2G2 series. But there were masses and masses of small references, and even a tip of the hat to the rebooted BSG as well. It's a lighter, yet darker, slightly twisted, sci-fi, detective, lovestory, type of procedural. With Brie. It's the least controversial of the cheeses.

This sounds AMAZING. Thank you, anon!

Gnee! Okay, I know what I'll be watching this weekend.

Sherlock certainly has higher production values, but I wouldn't say it is the better show. Did Sherlock ever fall in love with an artificial intelligence in a hi-jacked body after stealing his dinner in a chippie? Did Sherlock ever have to try and start an Austin Princess (and wouldn't Mycroft just have had it towed if he had)?

I think the two shows are perfect reflections of each other. Both have the anti-social, disengaged from reality, genius ditz, as their main. Both have a steady, albeit somewhat hapless (and hopeless in love) sidekick to help them show off (and to smooth over the bits of life that those disconnected from reality cannot manage), both have leads with curly hair. Just they go about it in such different ways, where Sherlock is aloof and distant, Dirk is passionate and throws himself gleefully in. Sherlock won't move without the evidence, Dirk sees everything as evidence for something and cheerfully makes it connect. One looks for evidence to support his theory, the other picks a theory that suits his evidence. The reflection is even apparent in the sidekick dynamic. Sherlock seems to tower over Watson (he is operating over Watson's head), but MacDuff is the taller and is like boat being constantly rocked by the smaller Dirk.

I would love to see a crossover, because while I think MacDuff and Watson would get on fine, swapping stories of barely platonic love and frustrated admiration that they could never admit to, Dirk and Sherlock would be engaged in an epic screaming tantrum at each other.
Sherlock: The mud under his shoes indicates a certain type of stone used in the East End, Stratford to be exact area, and the way he has folded his sleeve means he is a frequent visitor to building sites. Even you have to realise what this means.
Dirk: Yes, we have to go to Aberdeen!
Sherlock:ABERDEEN!?
Dirk: Its where the sandwiches went to.

[(Anonymous)]

You just wonderfully summed up everything I love about Dirk Gently, and everything I could want in a crossover. Damn, why hasn't this been written already?

[(Anonymous)]

Sherlock: He's been to the Olympic Park you dullard, the sandwiches are irrelevant.
Dirk:Nothing IS IRRELEVANT, and they have a park for redevelopment in Aberdeen too. The sandwiches could be the key to the whole case.
Sherlock: There is no key, the solution is obvious.
Dirk: Except for the matter of the lorry driver, or did you miss that mister....oh...mister fancy coat and silly hat.
Sherlock: What is wrong with my coat?
Dirk: The coat....I forgot the coat. Can your brother fly us to the Seychelles? First class, its important.

I still hate both series, as much as I wanted the Dirk Gently series to be amazing, it just didn't live up to the books. :(
And there's something inexplicable about Cumberbatch's face I just don't....like.

I've only seen the pilot for Dirk Gently, and it embarrassment-squicked me several times, but there's a 90% chance that any given British show will do that. Other than that, I thought it was great - and much more watchable than Sherlock has been for me so far, although I think it's well-done (I can just only handle it in small doses).

Oh lawd, Dirk Gently is an on-going thing?! And potentially not-crap?!

Welp, I guess I was going to hand in this essay today but whatevs...

OMG Stephen Mangan. Sign me up!

[latitude142.livejournal.com]

I love Dirk Gently and Sherlock, I'm surprised tumblr hasn't picked up on it as much either. Maybe it's just that I am a Darren Boyd, Stephen Mangan fan but it's a really enjoyable series!

[solo-by-choice.livejournal.com]

THERE'S A DIRK GENTLY SERIES?????? BEST. DAY. EVER.
