    Love the little touches....
    They show his feet....someone in high heels and stockings walks by...they switch back up to a head shot and it's a guy walking by (?)....
    Dag takes the door handle with one hand out in the hallway, when he's in the room he's opening it with the other hand....
    Lots of work went into this to make it so entertainingly "shitty"

    I love that, for all the levels deep they go with Richard Ayoade's character, he just ends up playing Richard Ayoade... so he basically is just putting on the truth.

    2:43.... Dagless just walked into the corner of the office just to set up the self-worshipping dialogue of Sanch and Thornton on the desk giving card puns. OMG I love this show. The door is behind him so he'd just be there looking at an office plant or something O.o

    What is so funny about Thornton is that he seems to be the head of a hospital, but not a doctor or medical practitioner of any sort himself. He acts more like a frazzled middle-manager of a factory. Is Darkplace even on the NHS?

      I love Dark Place but I also feel like one series was enough. I think the premise would have started to run a bit thin if it had gone on for a second. I don't think I would remember it as fondly if it had been milked to death like so many other shows/franchises.
