I'm really not sure they can top season 1 though, that was just bonkers yet it all worked so well.

I really liked it but it's not for everyone. I don't even know what to compare it to.

I would actually liken Dirk's and Bart's plotlines to those of King Lear and the Earl of Gloucester

It's a very loose adaptation of a Douglas Adams work and did a very good job of keeping that style, if that tells you anything about the tone of the show. And it's like a supernatural-ish crime mystery. It's batshit insane and I loved it. Only 8 episodes and they're all on Hulu, so fairly easy access if you want to give it a try

Haven't read them personally, so couldn't tell you beyond the fact that it's an original plot and characters aside from Dirk.

Hmm, actually the internet seems to suggest it takes place after the books.

That's actually true to the source material then, lol

I made a topic on the tv cable board here as the episodes of season 1 aired.
https://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/226-television-cable-and-satellite/74456173

It was fun trying to figure it out in a week then have your expectations exceeded by the ridiculous scenes.

I will try to catch season 2 as it airs but im planning to binge the entire season 2 on bluray whenever dirk gently season 2 bluray gets released.

I'm actually a bit worried about how different it's going to be watching it week by week. I binged season 1 in like two days. Though like you did, the weeklong speculation may make it even more interesting.
