Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency

In general, there was such a writer as Douglas Adams. In your Internet, it is known as the brilliant author of the book series “Hitchhiking in the Galaxy”, which, in turn, gave rise to one of the most famous memes – “42”. But he also had other books. In particular, about the adventures of the brave detective Dirk Gentley, who is not Dirk, not Gentley, and not very much and detective. In general, everything is in the usual path. The books turned out to be not so successful (especially the first) as a “hitchhiking”, but the author’s style and the idea of ​​detective with strange methods of investigation, the main of which is to arrive in the right place and at the right time, simply moving “with the flow”, the readers were very hooked. The books were followed by radio records, comics, and the TV series, of course.

But this will not be about that first serial embodiment, but about the second. Although the first and much closer to the original has many references to books and is fulfilled, in general, with the preservation of some stylistic foundations, but it does not repeat the plots of books and even Dirk himself changed not only appearance, but also character. Although the British got very, very. As the classic said about their capital, “yes! In London! Well, this is, where is fish, chips, tea, crazy food, the weather is even worse, Mary, ***** it in *****, Poppins. London!»They generally know how to shoot, know how to play and know how, of course, to write. But somehow they don’t know how to sell it all then. Therefore, that series ended with only four (but rather long) series.

Also worthy, but not so action -packed

But the ubiquitous Americans took up the second embodiment. They Madslots Casino swelled pretty banter. They called to the main role of Frodo, who, having sent the elves in an unknown direction, he departed from New Zealand to the United States, where he was a celebrity. They called good scriptwriters, actors whom you could and there observe in every episodic and not very, directors and other staff. At the exit they received a logical result. There is only one question left – where is Dirk Gentley? After all, there is practically nothing left of him.

Tell me, American, what is power! Is it in money? In general, I am sharply negative about such free interpretations. Why do you publicly take a certain work as a basis, if you are not going to leave it from it, evenly, nothing? Moreover, the original is not to say so popular. But here, apparently, the author’s admirers and just enthusiasts of their business, and not just wanted and wanted to lure the humble viewer and his wallet, gathered. Moreover, just there was really no advertisement. And everything turned out, surprisingly, excellent.

Firstly, it should be noted a magnificent acting game. All. In general, everyone. Unless the kitten at times was not entirely convincing in his role. But he, damn it, a little kitten! Academies, as they say, did not finish. But even a dog will give a head start to other Hollywood stars. What to say about people. And the characters that these actors play – psycho unique on the unique. All in the best traditions of the author of the original.

Secondly, attention to the little things. The scenery and recruit, often carry the details that are not used directly in the plot, but pretty complementary images of characters and events. And it’s very nice. The series is generally full of all kinds of little things, so watching it parallel to something else is not the best idea.

Third, of course, the plot. Although the main story itself is quite simple and even, to some extent, trivial (for a fantastic work), but we are not talking about direct film adaptation, but about the work based on. The scriptwriters managed to tighten the events into the hellish vinaigrette, cunningly weave everything together and competently dilute with action and excellent dialogues, so that it was interesting to watch it. And it even turned out like Adams, although, for obvious reasons, he could not attach his hands to the script.

In the fourth, despite the fact that the second season is already announced and the series itself makes it clear that this is not the end, but the first season is a completely complete independent work that sets all the points over the “yo” in a detective story so that you have no feeling that a piece is fed, only for you to run after the second, and then to the third, in the hope of understanding what this isIt was. But nevertheless, promising in the future something more.

And if this is not enough for you, then I don’t even know which television produceds are able to interest you altogether. In general, all the best, and thanks for the fish!
