, so the role of Mr. Gently may be clear now. But what is a "holistic" detective agency? Maybe just knowing the story originated with Douglas Adams of "A Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" is enough to understand that nothing will make sense in this series.
Starring Samuel Barnett as detective Dirk Gently and Elijah Wood as his assistant Todd, the new series premiering tomorrow (Oct 22) will have plenty of of strange encounters and related investigations.
In an interview with the Los Angeles Times, Wood admitted he was not an Adams fan but was drawn in anyway:
No. In fact, I’ve not read any Douglas Adams. I’m certainly familiar with him as a pop culture reference. My entry point was quite literally the pilot script that [creator] Max Landis had written. I had never read anything like it — certainly not seen anything like it on television that resembled it..
Take a look at this clip showing when Dirk first meets Todd. This unique duo and show reboots Sherlock Holmes in a very strange way. I hope it will find its audience, again.
