        ----------
        dtype : np.dtype
            Only `object`-like dtypes are respected here (not sure
            why).

        Returns
        -------
        values : ndarray
            When ``dtype=object``, then and object-dtype ndarray of
            boxed values is returned. Otherwise, an M8[ns] ndarray
            is returned.

            DatetimeArray is always 1-d. ``get_values`` will reshape
            the return value to be the same dimensionality as the
            block.
