The premise

The world of John Strange is no ordinary place - full of malevolent demons that must be stopped from wreaking havoc upon the Earth. In his quest he is joined by nurse Jude Atkins, computer whiz Toby and Kevin, a man who can pick up on strange vibes. But the mysterious Canon Black remains a thorn in John's side, fervent in his efforts to prove the non-existence of anything remotely demonic or paranormal...

Horror Vault's take

John Strange, a former priest, navigates a shadowy world invisible to most — one teeming with malevolent demons determined to cross into our reality. Alongside a mismatched team of allies, he works to contain threats that mainstream society refuses to acknowledge. Standing firmly in his way is the enigmatic Canon Black, a man whose agenda goes far beyond simple scepticism. This British cult series blends theological unease with supernatural monster-of-the-week thrills.
