Alongside his colleagues, Dr. Lucien Sanchez and Thornton Reed, Dagless battles supernatural forces while dealing with the absurdities of hospital administration.

Reviews from Letterboxd:

  1. Ryan Sliwinski – ★★★★★
    “Now I don’t know whether someone close to Garth had exploded – whether it was a colleague or a pet – but you could tell that scene meant a lot to him. There were tears on set. Not from Garth. He was strong for the crew. But I wept. I’m not ashamed of that.”
  2. Erin Rose – ★★★★
    “Matt Berry has never pronounced a word normally in his life.”
  3. blush – ★★★★★
    “She was like a candle in the wind… unreliable.”
