Reviews of this series by the user Necrotongue (18)
I really enjoyed both seasons, the second one even slightly more. Dirk Gently was a bit sidelined in it, which clearly benefited the story. My favorite character all along was Bart, so I was a little disappointed that she didn't get as much screen time in Season 2. In any case, the creators did a great job with the fictional realm of Wendimoor, which gave the whole series an even crazier vibe. A great show, I'm sorry it’s over.

Season 1 (2016) (S01)
Comedy/sci-fi? Why isn’t mystery listed among the genres? It would fit perfectly. I was hesitant about watching the series and it turned out to be a big mistake. The series features plenty of action, time travel, transmigration of souls, and supernatural abilities. Last but not least, a great deal of intelligent humor. I had an amazing time, and I hope Bart croaks at me again in the second season.

Horizons (2016) (S01E01)
The first episode pleasantly surprised me, especially because Elijah Wood's presence, which usually annoys me post-Frodo, didn't bother me here. The plot seems intriguing and funny, though nothing makes sense yet as new questions keep popping up with no answers in sight. But that's not a problem; I love Lynch's films and Twin Peaks, so I understand that not everything is as it seems.

Watkin (2016) (S01E04)
Alright, it’s official, I’m hooked on this show. The trap system had me in stitches; those two clowns would never survive a round of Resident Evil. The only downside? Just after I declared Bart my favorite character in my last review, this episode went ahead without her. Totally unfair!

Very Erectus (2016) (S01E05)
Finally, Bart and Ken are back, so I'm happy again. Another standout character is the fantastic Corporal Friedkin, and Project Incubus is sheer brilliance. Shame about Agent Fisher/Detective Zimmerfield and his agile eyebrows. The plot was entertaining and gripping, and I'm excited to see what happens next.

Fix Everything (2016) (S01E06)
Episode six finally delivers a slew of answers after the barrage of questions from previous episodes, and we learn that Bart has an unexpectedly low pain threshold. I have no complaints here — the story has momentum, tension, a good dose of action, excellent humor, and enough crazy ideas to keep me thoroughly engaged.

Weaponized Soul (2016) (S01E07)
Absolute satisfaction again! We've got crazy time travels, people running in circles so fast they see themselves from behind, and Patrick Spring is absolutely top-notch. But my burning question is: "Where's Bart?" I really missed her raspy voice in this episode.

Season 2 (2017) (S02)
Season 2 was a pleasure to watch. I had even more fun than with the first season which was already great. True, there was no migration of souls this time. Instead the creators came up with the crayon realm of Wendimoor and its inhabitants, which was a real treat. The story was so fast-paced that I could barely keep up, the humor was perfect, there was plenty of great action. Bart was still there, joined by Alan Tudyk this time in the role of Mr. Priest. Fantastic!

Space Rabbit (2017) (S02E01)
I had some worries about the second season, but the opening episode quickly put me at ease. There was no drop in quality, and Bart is still around, so I'm happy. The creators did a great job continuing the story just two months after the first season ended.

Fans of Wet Circles (2017) (S02E02)
The second episode was just as great as the first. The creators have kept the high bar set by the first season, continuing to unravel an absolutely bizarre story. It felt like Dorothy was definitely not in Kansas anymore. I'm really enjoying the character of Suzie, and now Mr. Priest has joined the scene...

Two Broken Fingers (2017) (S02E03)
The show is on the right track. The third episode maintained (and possibly even exceeded) the quality of the previous ones, and I'm still having a blast. The story is fantastic, but it's the characters and their casting that truly shine. I was thrilled to see Bart return after a brief absence. Mr. Priest and Tina are great additions to the lineup, so I can overlook the fact that there's no one who can quite raise an eyebrow quite like Dirk.

The House Within a House (2017) (S02E04)
The story keeps delivering, maintaining a vibe that feels like a nod to The Wizard of Oz, but Dirk's tumble into the "rabbit hole" gave off some serious Alice in Wonderland vibes! Every episode of this season so far has had great atmosphere, a delightfully bizarre plot, and top-notch humor.
()
Shapes and Colors (2017) (S02E05)
Slightly weaker than the previous episode, but still great. I'm enjoying the second season even more than the first. It's definitely not a show where you can relax or let your mind wander; you have to stay fully engaged the entire time.
()
Girl Power (2017) (S02E06)
Another fantastic episode. The wake-up scene after the wild night was hilarious, and Suzie was on point. It’s a bit exhausting having to stay so alert all the time, but thankfully, there's the pause button. Without it, I'd miss a lot of details due to all the laughing fits.

This Is Not Miami (2017) (S02E07)
I absolutely love Douglas Adams' humor — no surprise since he wrote for Monty Python — and this episode let me fully enjoy it again. While the plot wasn't as packed with events as I've come to expect, the generous dose of humor more than made up for it.

Little Guy, Black Hair (2017) (S02E08)
At first, I wasn't too thrilled with the crayon world of Wendimoor, but it quickly grew on me, and now I really look forward to it. I especially loved their version of the guillotine — I'll never handle scissors carelessly again. The insightful conversation with Bob was also a highlight.
()
Trouble is Bad (2017) (S02E09)
Except for the overly warm reunion between Panto and Silas, this episode was another fantastic watch. Whenever Wendimoor is featured, I'm reminded of Stephen King's (or rather Richard Bachman's) "The Regulators." Just like in the series, the book shows that crayons in children's hands can pose a deadly threat.

Nice Jacket (2017) (S02E10)
Turns out the creators can completely fool me without using any new tricks. In the final episode of the first season, they disgusted me with an overly sweet (almost) ending, only to thrill me with a fantastic twist right after. Now, they've pulled the same stunt on me again. Everything seemed happy and sweet until that final conversation between Bart and Ken...
