reception
In the Internet Movie Database , the series achieved an average rating of 8.4 / 10 stars, based on 29,741 user reviews (as of July 2018).
“Whether you love or hate Dirk Gently's holistic detective agency depends very much on your personal taste and expectations, but considering how enthusiastic this eight-part series has left me, I can only advise everyone to get an impression for themselves and to give the series a chance ”, writes Wulf Bengsch on medienjournal-blog.de
The industry portal Serienjunkies.de would have preferred to see more of the first series adaptation produced in Great Britain with Stephen Mangan in the title role. The review of the pilot episode concludes: “The overall presentation is too intentionally crazy, the humor too strenuous, and Barnett's game too artificial. Only Elijah Wood cuts a really good figure in this role that was made for him. "
