Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency (2016–2017)

Dirk Gently is a holistic detective who investigates mysterious cases, interacting with very interesting characters.

'Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency' is a sci-fi comedy series, a kind of Doctor Who that never bothers trying to invent a logical-sounding science, everything being about poeple characterizations, their interaction and the mysterious rules of chance and fate. Fantasy, nonsense, sci-fi elements, skepticism and even well-placed idiocy, all find their place and purpose in the non-boring events of the series.

The Faculty (1998)

When the faculty of their high school start to show strange behavior, an unlikely team of students investigates the mystery.

'The Faculty' is an ironic teen horror comedy, of the Robert Rodriguez brand, which pays tribute to a classic - The Thing - at the same time becoming a cult film in its own right. Full of familiar faces, only Quentin Tarantino is missing, the film would simply be a guilty pleasure, if it weren't so well made, from the intelligent and very quotable dialogue, the suspensful action skillfully directed by a master to the atypical portrayals by the grown up actors.

Director:  Robert Rodriguez   

With: Elijah Wood, Jordana Brewster, Josh Hartnett, Clea DuVall, Shawn Hatosy, Laura Harris, Piper Laurie, Famke Janssen, Salma Hayek, Bebe Neuwirth, Christopher McDonald, Robert Patrick, Jon Stewart, Usher
