ETA: if you want a more recent one, Deli Boys is pretty great
Both Dirks. The BBC was a little closer to the books but both are great. And if we're going in an Elijah direction, the US version of Wilfred.
Cancelling Space: Above and Beyond was tragic. With a couple more seasons it could have become an enduring cult classic. If it has been made later, it would have thrived in the streaming era.
Coolness
I kept waiting for Jonas Quinn to say “synchronize swatches” on SG1
At least throw us a few "Whoooooooa" sfx here and there.
Mrs. Davis is one of my favorite shows period. That was a masterpiece.
I second Dirk Gently. Amazing show.
I used to have nearly all The Maxx comic books, and gave them away to a friend when I moved across country.
Of those I’ve only seen Dirk Gently and Maxx. The later was cool to young me, but the former I just can’t get into. It feels too over the top random, like they’re forcing it too hard. Too bad, Dirk’s books are my favorite from Adams.
I found Dirk Gently to be fine, with the glaring exception that the main fucking character made it almost unwatchable.
Same for me except for the “almost” part. I quit midway through episode 2.
The American one, or the BBC one with Stephen Mangan?
