This appears to be a good time to be watching TV.  Between the BBC, Amazon Prime, and Netflix there’s a lot of really decent stuff on.  We’ve just finished blitzing Haven from start to finish (and if that wasn’t someone’s off-beat Cthulhu Now campaign at some point I’d be very surprised), have just started Lucifer…  Stephen Moffat and Peter Capaldi are leaving Dr Who – don’t get me wrong, Mr M has written some superb episodes in the past and he’s not quite as guilty of pushing the big reset button as RTD was, I’m just happy the show is being handed over to someone else.  And it will be new lead writer, new Doctor.  Not been the biggest fan of Mr C’s Doctor.

We’ve got Stranger Things, The OA, Sneaky Pete, Timeless, Stan Lee’s Lucky Man and a few others racked up and ready to roll as soon as a gap in the schedule emerges (usually known as “Summer”)

And then there’s Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency.  Excellent books, great audio adaptations, a decent TV show starring half the cast of Elvenquest.  But the Americans got their hands on it.

I was sceptical.  But it was on Netflix, which I didn’t have, so plenty of people got a chance to watch it first and opine in my general direction.  I heard positive things – it’s good.  It’s funny.  It’s a complete story.  It leaves enough threads dangling to make you want a second series (which has been green-lit already).  And there’s a kitten.  You’ll love the kitten.

And the kitten (amongst other things) is why this post is here in the gaming section.

Now.  Spoilers, darling.  If you’ve not seen past Episode 5, “Very Erectus”, there are some details about the kitten you may not have worked out yet.  I know I hadn’t!  So go and watch the series now, come back as and when…
