"I'd read the books ages ago and mostly just remembered them as weird. The TV adaptation is probably at best described as an homage to the source. It captures the zany insanity of the books and somewhat the same personality of Dirk as well as the central premise of 'The fundamental interconnectedness of all things'. Other than that it doesn't follow the storyline of the books. However, <dramatic pause> I think this is a good thing. It's rare that I like a live action adaptation more than the original but this is a rare exception.
When I first started watching nothing made sense but before too long it was almost comforting because I realized that in the end everything is related and it would all make sense.
