It is a palate cleanser for all of the tropey, formula-driven shows you are watching elsewhere.

I still use formulas and there are secret formulas.

Everything has to cause them struggle, it makes subversions because no ones a badass.

Dirk Gently will be adding to its cast of not-badass characters in Season 2.

Two familiar genre faces on the scene are Alan Tudyk and Tyler Labine.

What drew them to the project?

The originality, said Tudyk, who will be playingBlackwing bounty hunter Mr. We dont get a lot of that.

A lot of shows that are successful right now or that people tune into have originality.

Its not a single thing.

This comes from the mind of Max Landis, and thats an original mind.

And in very broad ways, everyone is very imperfect.

Formula subversion wouldnt be enough if you didnt care about the characters at least not forthisviewer.

The core of the storytelling is not resting its hat on the fun of the mystery.

It also gives those characters something bigger to believe.

Dirk Gently Season 1 is now available to binge on Hulu.

Season 2 premieres this Saturday at 9 p.m.

ET on BBC America.
