The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (TV Series)

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is a British-American comedy science-fiction television series produced by Netflix, based upon previous works in the media franchise of the same name, created by Douglas Adams.

Plot
The series differs from the other material in the media, as it is set in the US rather than the UK. The series follows the adventures of Arthur Dent, a young hapless Spokane native, following the destruction of the Earth by the Vogons, a race of unpleasant & bureaucratic aliens, to make way for an intergalactic bypass. Dent's adventures intersect with several other characters: Ford Prefect (who named himself after the Ford Prefect car to blend in with what was assumed to be the dominant life form, automobiles), an alien from a small planet somewhere in the vicinity of Betelgeuse & a researcher for the eponymous guidebook, who rescues Dent from Earth's destruction; Zaphod Beeblebrox, Ford's eccentric semi-cousin & the Galactic President; the depressed robot Marvin the Paranoid Android; & Trillian, formerly known as Tricia McMillan, a woman Arthur once met at a party in Seattle &, thanks to Beeblebrox' intervention, the only other human survivor of Earth's destruction.
