I've been watching this and I can't work out if it's any good.
Feels like a mishmash of Matt Baker's Dr Who and Utopia with some other bits and pieces thrown in.
Can I get a second opinion?
>>21257 I haven't watched it, but I get the impression that it's a bit shite, the same as the series they tried a few years ago.
Just one look at their casting choice for Dirk shows that they've completely missed the point of the book. The brief description of him I've copied from wikipedia "a pudgy man who normally wears a heavy old light brown suit, red checked shirt with a green striped tie, long leather coat, red hat and thick metal-rimmed spectacles." The ongoing descriptions of his physical appearance and his personality through the books, basically add up to the image of a stereotypical fedora-wearing neckbeard.
>>21259 He's not a stereotypical fedora-wearing neckbeard because that trope didn't exist at the time. He's not the Matt Bakerlite that he is in this show either. The rest of the cast is quite good.
