@SUPERNATURAL FANS
So Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency got cancelled AND IT DOES NOT DESERVE THIS. But it can still be saved if there’re enough views on international Netflix when season 2 goes up on Netflix on Jan 5th. So I’m urging you supernatural fans to pick up this show during the holidays because I’m 100% sure you’ll enjoy it + the fact that about 50 actors have acted in both shows.
Like Osric Chau. Y'all know him. Y’all love him. Master Chau? The guy who plays Kevin?
He plays a series regular named Vogel who’s part of a ‘gang’ which feeds off crazy. He plays an incredibly wild character who can beat the shit out of people but is also the sweetest cinnamon roll of a character ever. Plus Vogel is on of Osric’s best roles.
And also Lee Majdoub. He played Hannah’s second vessel In Dirk Gently.
He plays Silas Dengdamoor in the second season. A poc gay character who lives in the fantasy world of Wendimoor who can’t lie for shit. And is so in love with his boyfriend, Panto Trost (who I’ll talk about later) and is also a really sweet guy which you’ll fall in love with.
And then there’s Ty Olssen. Benny. He only appears in Dirk Gently for two episodes before he gets uh killed off. Is that a spoiler? I mean it was two episodes in. But anyways he was great in his role.
Ok now let’s talk about Panto Trost. He’s played by Christopher Russell who played Cliff Whitlow in the Curious Case of Dean Winchester.

The Significance of BlackWing Names
ok just allow me to monologue about the genius of BlackWing’s codenames for their subjects and why the writers are so clever.
Some of them, like Project Lamia or Project Incubus, don’t have too much meaning but sound really cool. But then there’s…
Project Marzanna, Goddess of Death
Bart’s codename in BlackWing is “Marzanna” who is a winter goddess from Slavic mythology seen as a symbol of death and disease.
This is such an impactful choice for Bart, since she is so in sync with the universe as to be almost like a goddess, and is literally a harbinger of death. But she has to learn to see she is more than just that symbol.
Project Icarus, who flew too close to the sun.
Dirk’s codename is an obvious nod to the famous story from Greek Mythology. Icarus tries to escape from the prison he’s been kept in, only to fly too close to the sun the moment he’s escaped, burning his wax wings and dropping himself into the sea below, where he drowns.
Choosing Icarus as a symbol for Dirk is genius. Dirk escaped from his prison (BlackWing) and deals with a lot of fear out in the real world. He loves taking on cases, but he fears hurting people. Particularly in season two, Dirk sees more and more people die, and he blames himself, blames his involvement, blames his strange connection to the universe. And Dirk has to ask himself, should he take cases at all? Is even being here, away from the labyrinth, risking it all? Have I already flown too high?
I also think it’s worth noting that Dirk is a reference to a story about a prisoner’s melting wings, being stopped mid-flight… and the one’s controlling him are black wing.
Maybe Dirk also represents their downfall.
and last but not least…
Project Moloch, a child’s sacrifice
Francis was a child with magical abilities who was kidnapped by BlackWing. This terrified him and sent him into a deep coma, locking himself into the perpetual childhood of Wendimoor, where he remained for the rest of his life. Through his sleep, the years of his childhood slipped by, until they were gone completely, and Francis was an old man near the end of his life.
the name “Moloch” comes from the Bible, the name of a god of child sacrifice.
This is genius for Francis’ character, since he only ever wanted a childhood. It was taken from him - sacrificed to blackwing - but through wendimoor, he got it back.
this was a lot but Dirk Gently is crazy what can I say
Farah: I killed someone
Todd: It's okay. We killed some people, too- wait, you what?
Is giving me the same vibes as
Penelope: Mami, I did something terrible
Lydia: It's okay, I have a shovel.
Penelope: Wait, what? Wait, what do you think I did?
