What I’m Watching: Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency


Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency: Season 2, Episode 7 “That Is Not Miami” (B)

I’m not nearly as fond of Wendimoor as I am of the real world and everything that has been going on in Montana recently, especially since Tina and Bart didn’t appear in this episode at all. The opening segment revealed that the boy was able to create things while he dreamed, and new boyfriend Dirk seems to have had an epiphany at the end of the episode after learning that there were two brothers. Who the other boy is remains a mystery – I suspect that maybe it’s the Mage himself – and I’m very intrigued to learn how it will all work out. Despite the younger generation’s near-success in creating peace with the assistance of Todd and Amanda on each side, the adults showed up and shot at each other in a way that definitely didn’t resemble a fairy tale. Suzie was extremely excited to arrive in Wendimoor, and after she disposed of Wakti, she transformed herself into exactly the queen witch that she’s wanted to be from the start. It’s hard to imagine how all this can be wrapped up in just the three episodes that are left this season, but at least no one is trapped in the body of a dog like last season. I think our characters have grown considerably this season, particularly Todd, who announced that he’s not going to quit for the first time in his life, and there’s some romance left in the world thanks to the love between the star-crossed Silas and Panto.
