Anyone watch BBC's Dirk Gently Holostic Detective Agency?

Season 2 will start this Fall. It's mostly based on the Douglas Adams books and stars Elijah Wood as Todd. I'm on episode 4 of the 1st season and greatly enjoying it. Reminds me of Buckaroo Banzai.

Did anyone watch the older version on PBS? I actually liked it better.

Funny, completely random, but follows its own warped sense of reality. Very good show. Hope it continues.

But it was quite a bit darker than I had remembered the books being. I include The Salmon Of Doubt in that.
