@armandoFemat As a fan I often tell people that Dirk Gently might actually be better than The Guide 🤔 Now I will go sit in the corner and wait for the angry comments... 😁

Anyway, to enjoy Dirk Gently start with the books, then the UK tv series, then the two graphic novels that connects it to the US series.

The Big Sleep. By Raymond Chandler.

You are a bitter LA private detective, some 100 years ago, trying to solve a case you don’t care much about, since everyone- everyone - is crooked, even the police and all the dames throwing themselves at you, and you just gotta wonder what the point of trying to be a decent human being is.
