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.
