oh my gosh it is one of the best shows of all time in my opinion and absolutely my favourite tv show. i think by the end of the pilot you will know if it’s for you or not, so my best advice would be to go sit down and watch the first episode (and let it blow your mind). but in case you need more convincing i am absolutely here to help
the show is only 2 seasons (netflix elle and i are outside your house with metal bats and our precious dvds of your 2-season-wonders and we are going to attack you) and while the second season is beautiful television it does leave the viewer desperately wanting more. the shows creators who aren’t the devil have said that they would be open to making more but at this point it seems doomed to fail. so you have to go into this thing knowing that it is a finished product but also it is, on some level, a wip
and speaking of the show creator who is the devil, the showrunner max landis is a piece of shit, fathered by john landis an even bigger piece of shit. i won’t go into detail about the abuse or murder but you can look it up for yourself if you’d like. i will say that the other creator has decried max as the worthless trash he is, and that his impact isn’t Really felt as dirk gently doesn’t contain any allusions to his abuse and in fact has strong female characters, but it’s something i wish i’d known while i was getting into the show
