Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency (2016)

Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency is a fast-moving, genre-bending series that follows the eccentric “holistic” sleuth Dirk Gently and his reluctant sidekick Todd Brotzman as they get swept into a conspiracy of murder, time-twisting mysteries and supernatural oddities. When a violent crime at Todd’s workplace makes him a suspect, Dirk appears in his apartment and drags him into a bizarre investigation that links seemingly random people and events through improbable coincidences and hidden connections. Watching the show you’ll experience a blend of dark comedy, pulpy action and weird sci‑fi — quirky dialogue and slapstick moments sit alongside grisly murders and genuinely tense mysteries. The storytelling delights in unpredictability: plots loop, minor details become crucial, and the world constantly tilts between absurdity and menace. The tone mixes Douglas Adams‑style absurdist wit with modern serialized suspense, so episodes move quickly and often end on surprising hooks. Expect eccentric characters, offbeat humor, surreal set pieces, and an overarching sense that everything is connected — even when it shouldn’t be. Fans of off-kilter detective stories, black comedy, and speculative twists will enjoy the show’s unconventional logic and energetic pacing.
