A macabre comedy on the strange adventures of Blennerhasset and Molloy, Dublin’s most famed memorial photographers.
Dublin, 1880. Photo studios may be booming, but photographing the recently deceased is losing its appeal. Renowned memorial photographer Brock Blennerhasset’s business is failing. He turns to his niece and a new assistant as sinister competition emerges in the form of a serial killer with a macabre interest in photographing his victims. As the body count mounts, the trio race to stop a murderer intent on ruining their business and their lives.
Set in 1880s Ireland in the Victorian-era heyday of ‘postmortem photography,’ the six-episode period drama follows a renowned memorial photographer who is drawn into a series of apparent murders that appear to be linked to his work.
“It’s a real joy to come upon a comedy that feels confident and fully-formed from the very first episode” – Irish Independent
Very Irish, very funny and boasting this unique hook of a very Victorian tradition, Dead Still is unique enough to stand out in the dense ranks of genre TV – and sharp enough to draw blood.” – Ready Steady Cut
“It’s a breath of fresh air, extraordinarily witty and good fun, and jolly.” – What She Said
