Don't listen to the other review. This is a masterpiece, GRANTED, it has an acquired taste. Many people will not like this but MANY do. It redefines comedy in a way that can be described as a weird trip. You just have to watch it to understand. It's a comedic parody of an 80s horror sitcom that really goes over the bar to make varying scenes that have this awkwardness an intentional mishaps to bring a style of comedy that I myself find amazing. If you have an open mind an love an unusual an new story, then you should love this. Give it a shot.

To anyone who's watched the original darkplace then you already know an you need no review.
