Got my family hooked and watch it with them on the weekends. They loved American Ultra so that's how I roped em in :D. I usually wait for a season to finish before I start watching, so all this waiting is tough.

Well I enjoyed the first episode but I guess that's all I'll watch of the show since episode 2 is not on demand on my box and BBCA would rather show 60 year old Star Trek Episodes than rebroadcast the 2nd episode before they air the 3rd.

lol @ the biker dude's knife bouncing off of the ammo-less Bart, only to have her pick it up off the ground and throw it right back at him

Will watch tonight. Just realized the other night that the actor for Dirk Gently is the assistant to Doctor Clayton in Penny Dreadful.

Wow, this show is fantastic. I'm a huge Adams fan and I feel like this does a great job capturing his absurd yet very clever sense of humour.

Also, I might be in love with Todd's sister.

Just caught up on this. Fantastically fun show, love all the characters, weird quirkiness and odd plot.

Not at all familiar with the source material, so I can't comment on that, but however faithful or not it is the show is damn enjoyable.

Good job so far to BBCA and GAFs favorite Max Landis.

She's probably my favorite. But the whole cast so far is just great.

Another fantastic episode. This show is great (and criminally underrepresented here).

I wonder what the hell is up with the Rowdy-3.

Get down he's got the shark!

Can't recall the last time I've laughed that hard at television. Hit just the right spot.

Great episode this week. Loved all the Dirk/Todd bonding scenes in the forest, as well as the scenes at the hotel.

Also, RIP Zimmerfield :(

That was totally amazing and bizarre. I've never seen anything like it, ever. lol

The shark scene had me in stitches. Simply amazing.

Bummed that they killed the old cop, he was one of my favourites :(

BBC America still has relatively low numbers overall, so it doesn't take a ton of viewers to be a success. It's about on par or slightly less than Orphan Black's season 4 numbers. Live viewing of Orphan Black probably isn't that big on GAF either, we just post more cause Tat is an acting god.

I'm just kinda letting Dirk Gently happen every week, and waiting to see how it turns out as a whole instead of talking much about it. Still...shark kitty is awesome.

Holy shit, I haven't laughed this hard in a long ass time, when Rimmer finally gets them:


-This is it. He'll explain everything. He's gonna have the answers.

-I've been waiting for you two for a long time.
(pause for effect)
What is going on? Who are you guys?
Did Patrick Spring hire you? If not, then what are you? Are you detectives?
No, because you're a... You're a bellhop! You were at the hotel! And you! You're who?
What, the FBI? No? Then how does the FBI figure into this?
Who shot Ned? How did you know that Farah Black was gonna be in that apartment?
I mean, what kind of crazy coincidence is that?
Where's the kitten? Where's my dog? Why did you burn down my house?
Who has my dog right now? Is it the police? Do the police have my dog?
Who beat up Ed and Zed? Was it your guys? Other guys?
How many different sets of guys are in this situation?
How does Patrick Spring be in two places at the same time?

-Aw..... nuts. We-we don't, uh...Sorry, I guess.
I, like, can answer four of those questions, total, if I'm being honest.

Glad it got renewed too

It must be very rewarding for Landis to finally have something come close to how he intended it versus that not being the case (well, except for the changes on the dog :D ).
He looked so pissed holding that stuffed doll. That's 2000 dollars of the production budget right there, ladies and gentlemen.

edit: also, the music in this show is great. And editing, as mentioned before.

I don't watch many shows weekly, as I usually wait until a season is over to watch. But this one I have been, and I really enjoy it. Doesn't seem to have much word of mouth, at least amongs the communities I frequent and friends though. Sad to see, anyone know how it's doing ratings wise?

Can't wait. This series was an extremely pleasant surprise. I loved the BBC UK production but didn't have high hopes for a US adaptation for obvious reasons. In the end Elijah Wood (huge fan of his work on Wilfred) swayed me to watch the first ep and it has far exceeded my expectations.

"...which lead to the young Patrick Spring accidentally killing old Patrick Spring when a kitten went off and started a shark explosion."

That about sums it up Todd!

That was a great finale capping off a very fun season. I can't wait to see what Landis has in store for season 2.

Heads up to UK people, this is now on Netflix (and available to download for offline viewing). I'll be checking it out!

Just saw the first two episodes on Netflix.

Yeah, it was alright. I'll stick around for the season. I'm not sure how I feel about Dirk being a part of a massive group of holistic people but eh, we'll see how it pans out.
