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.
Comment on What are some lesser-known obscure TV series that went under the radar, that you would recommend?

Mrs. Davis is one of my favorite shows period. That was a masterpiece.

I kept waiting for Jonas Quinn to say “synchronize swatches” on SG1

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

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.

I found Dirk Gently to be fine, with the glaring exception that the main fucking character made it almost unwatchable.

The American one, or the BBC one with Stephen Mangan?

Same for me except for the “almost” part. I quit midway through episode 2.

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.
