Liam Fay The Times (UK) 11/11/2020
The comedy is not black enough to do justice to what is a richly macabre environment. There's an irksome corniness to much of the attempted humour that seems to belong in a different show. Go to Full Review John Doyle Globe and Mail 08/03/2020
This macabre aspect of the drama is accentuated and razzled with a tone of grim and ironic humor that is, at times, screamingly funny. Clever, visually sumptuous and indescribably unique. Go to Full Review Brad Newsome Sydney Morning Herald 06/24/2020
Michael Smiley is a hoot as pompous photographer Brock Blennerhasset, and so is Aidan O'Hare as the detective whose investigations look sure to make Blennerhasset's life a misery. Go to Full Review Pat Stacey Irish Independent 11/03/2020
4/5
Broadly belongs in the period crime thriller territory but stamps its own singular comic sensibility on it. Go to Full Review Jonathon Wilson Ready Steady Cut 06/26/2020
4/5
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. Go to Full Review Joel Keller Decider 05/19/2020
It has the ability to weave together a complex story without completely putting its viewers to sleep. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

06/17/2022 Such a different look at the Victorian era, why won't they get a season two? See more kat g @RT27651991 09/01/2021 Loved it! Loved the characters! Didn't drag on. I need a season 2! See more 09/29/2020 A cool spin to the detective story cliches, shame there's not more of it. See more 09/20/2020 Absolutely delightful. Loveable characters, impeccable performances and an interesting background story. Humour with an uncanny twist. So refreshing. See more 06/24/2020 Although the premise of the show is rather macabre, the infusion of humor, the continuous underlying mystery, and the fine acting have kept me hooked. Please do another season...I want to find out who is doing the actual murders/photographs!! Don't leave me in suspense forever!!
