Sure it's not much of the novels we wanted, but that doesn't make it bad at all. In this age of action and either convoluted plots (which, this is, kinda) we are expected to be handed everything in a nice and neat way so our brains stop working at it.
This show is jam packed full of great actors and actresses that really are likable and even dis-likable characters, but they do it so well.
Obviously if you're not a fan of things all interconnected, mind benders, time paradox's, or girls being dogs..this isn't for you. For the rest of us who enjoyed Douglas Adams writings and aren't pretending to be a film critic on IMDb, you'll most likely enjoy this show, a lot.
As an American I wasn't too into the actor playing Dirk, because I found British comedy well...bad. But if you do the normal rule of 3 episodes before judging, he will grow on you, and the curious gets more curious as Alice once said.
Even if have even meagerly liked Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy, like time travel, Dr. Who, or anything that is impossible, it's a great show. But if you think it's going to be close to the novels, don't expect it to be. Either way I think it's a great show with lots of WTF and brain moisturizing moments. Also a kudos to Elijah Wood for doing a great job.
