Cancelling Space: Above and Beyond was tragic. With a couple more seasons it could have become an enduring cult classic. If it has been made later, it would have thrived in the streaming era.
Of those I’ve only seen Dirk Gently and Maxx. The later was cool to young me, but the former I just can’t get into. It feels too over the top random, like they’re forcing it too hard. Too bad, Dirk’s books are my favorite from Adams.

Dirk Gently’s Detective Agency
Space: Above & Beyond
Earth 2

ETA: if you want a more recent one, Deli Boys is pretty great
Both Dirks. The BBC was a little closer to the books but both are great. And if we’re going in an Elijah direction, the US version of Wilfred.

Coolness
I kept waiting for Jonas Quinn to say “synchronize swatches” on SG1
At least throw us a few “Whoooooooa” sfx here and there.
Mrs. Davis is one of my favorite shows period. That was a masterpiece.

I used to have nearly all The Maxx comic books, and gave them away to a friend when I moved across country.

I found Dirk Gently to be fine, with the glaring exception that the main fucking character made it almost unwatchable.
Same for me except for the “almost” part. I quit midway through episode 2.
The American one, or the BBC one with Stephen Mangan?
