About

Garth Marenghi's Darkplace Season 1 (2004) is released on Jan 29, 2004. Watch Garth Marenghi's Darkplace online - the English Comedy TV series from United Kingdom. Garth Marenghi's Darkplace is directed by Richard Ayoade and created by Richard Ayoade with Richard Ayoade and Matt Berry. Garth Marenghi's Darkplace is available online on Amazon Prime Video and Peacock.

In the 1980s horror writer Garth Marenghi wrote, produced, directed and starred in Darkplace, a groundbreaking series set in a hospital and exploring the depths of the author's imagination. At least that's what Marenghi and his publicist/co-star, Dean Learner, claim in modern-day interviews which both bookend and interrupt the episodes. In fact the show is cheap, chiché'd, full of gaping plot holes and startlingly misogynist. Garth Marenghi is a creation of comedian Matthew Holness, who won a Perrier award with the character at the 2001 Edinburgh festival.

Reviews

Rachel Aroesti
Guardian
The show-within-a-show is a masterpiece of nostalgia-fuelled parody that teems with comic talent: there's Alice Lowe, Matt Berry and guests stars like Stephen Merchant, Noel Fielding and Graham Linehan.

The Dissolve
Garth Marenghi's Darkplace is masterfully, hilariously hideous, with Ayoade knowing exactly how to drop in pointless camera moves, botched continuity, and slackly paced action sequences for maximum comic effect.

Sydney Morning Herald
Brilliance and the absurd collide in this comic television masterpiece from 2004.
