Dirk Gently

Dirk Gently - TV show.

I would call this the red headed step child of Sherlock Holmes.  It's in the same type of humor as Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy, mainly because Douglas Adams is the author of both.  His brand of sly, sarcastic, and flat out strange humor are woven throughout these three stories of which each are 90 minutes long - just long the Sherlock Holmes TV shows.  All of the stories are equally bizarre and wacky but fit in with the world created with this show.  All the actors fully step up to the plate and deliver on bringing these characters to life as only British actors can do as they prove once again just how versatile and flat out awesome they are at the craft of acting. 

All in all it was a good time of watching something a little strange and slightly off from what other shows are doing.  A real breath of fresh air from all the "normal" criminal, CSI shows out there right now.
