What did you think? I quite liked it. Never read the books though. Did it remain true to them?
Didn't here the radio but the books were good but a bit samey
Given that it was TV, I don't think it was half bad. I'll go as far as to say I enjoyed it! Mind you, I sat down knowing it was not going to be like reading a book so I didn't get upset by the liberties taken to squeeeze it onto a screen. My missus, who hasn't read the books, also enjoyed so they must have done a good job to please both of us 🙂
It'd be good if it becomes a series - every reference I've seen called it a pilot so here's hoping...
It didn't 'feel' like a Douglas Adams story, possibly because the people who wrote the adaptation aren't as clever as DNA was.
I read the books years ago so can't really remember how close the TV version was, but there were bits missing. Where was the Electric Monk? Wasn't there something about a sofa stuck on a landing in one of the books? (It's a long tinme ago..... and they were never DNA's best books.)
I thought the actual denouement very poor - it could have been written by a 6th former in 5 minutes - and the emphasis was far too much on the love story between two of the support characters rather than Dirk Gently himself and how he solved the case.
A poor effort, and I wouldn't be disappointed if it wasn't made into a series.
It's an 'original' story, based loosely on the books.
As a fan of the books, I've mixed feelings about it. It was alright, but the characterisation jarred with me, the plot didn't make a jot of sense (even by DNA standards) and there were some terrible continuity errors.
The audiobooks are very good, well worth a listen.
