Although bellhop Todd Brotzman doesn't have a lot going on in his life, the worst awaits him. It begins when he arrives at work one day and is sent up to the hotel's penthouse, where he discovers millionaire Patrick Spring has been murdered. An odd chain of events that unfolds leads to Todd becoming a person of interest in the crime and losing his job. That is when he meets Dirk Gently, a fast-talking, eccentric detective who has been hired to investigate the murder. He believes that he and Todd are destined to solve the mystery together. Once Dirk is able to convince Todd to work with him, the latter is visited by wild, dangerous characters -- all associated with Dirk -- who complicate his life further. Dirk, meanwhile, is being hunted by seemingly deranged assassin Bart, who almost kills a man she mistakenly believes to be the detective.

The question of whether or not Dirk Gently succeeds as a show for you is unlikely to change with this new season. It remains the frustrating, creative, eccentric show it's always been. Go to Full Review Hanh Nguyen IndieWire 10/16/2017

For those viewers who may have binged the show on Hulu or On Demand though, this will be an exercise in patience. Dirk Gently is a show that is best consumed in bigger chunks, if only to get to these connections faster. Go to Full Review Fausto Ponce Alta Fidelidad Magazine 04/27/2021
I think that at the end of the day, Dirk Gently's nonsensical world view is very much like ours. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review Carolyn Acosta Mediaversity Reviews 08/01/2020

Dirk Gently is tainted with controversy, but the writers clearly make an effort to be inclusive. Go to Full Review Mikel Zorrilla Espinof 08/07/2019
The sense of humor, the rhythm, the dialogue, the visual and practically everything else follow the same line of the first season, without, at least for now, falling into repetition, so do not hesitate to continue seeing it. [Full Review in Spanish] Go to Full Review Becky Kukla The Digital Fix 03/08/2019
Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency is a whirlwind of time travelling madness, beautiful friendships with a dash of a secret government conspiracy added in for good measure. And yes, everything is connected. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Alexander B @RT54889065 Oct 27 The best example of using source material as inspiration that I've ever seen. This show takes the idea of a book and makes a whole other world. More specifically, it makes a realy good world. I wish there was more. See more Jordan S. @RT84878550 Oct 19 Really good Season 2, that ended on a cliffhanger. I wish the show had a film, that completed the story. Also the character of Bartine, is basically a heroic Charles Lee Ray. The show still holds up. See more ZiaDawn C @RT46724415 Jul 31 Huge fan of the way this season moved characters. I genuinely wish it kept going. It was so so good, I wish a streaming service would hop on this and all the same actors came back for it. See more Анастасия В. А @RT08456174 Jul 25 Great movie! Tyler Labine is SUCH A DARLING! The most adorable film character ever. See more Scott H @AndrewSHH 02/26/2025 Season one was watchable, but leaned hard on making up lots of weird stuff that didn't fit together. Weird and unbelievable is okay, but not just for its own sake. Season two doubled down. It threw the kitchen sink, and apparently they thought it was clever because there were so many things going on. There were just too many characters. Half of them were trying to be "zany" and it fell flat. There was a lot of painful, over-the-top, one-note acting. Even the main character had zero depth and not a trace of actual motivation. It was a train wreck. See more P M @pepijn 02/16/2025 never heard of the serie before I found it on netfilx. loved it. a bit simular to sense8 in weirdness but also very different, To bad it stopped at season 2. it had great prommise See more Read all reviews
