    Cliff Notes – All six episodes of ‘brilliant’ serial killer thriller land on BBC

    • Mixed Reception: "Ragdoll" has garnered a 92% rating on Rotten Tomatoes but only 38% audience approval, highlighting its divisive nature among viewers.
    • Binge-Worthy Thriller: The series, featuring DCI Lake Edmunds and her team pursuing a serial killer, is available for streaming on BBC iPlayer, having premiered on June 16.
    • Viewer Reactions: While some praise the show’s gripping narrative and character development, others criticise its dialogue and pacing, leading to varied opinions on its overall quality.

    All six episodes of ‘brilliant’ serial killer thriller land on BBC

    TV show Ragdoll has just dropped on the BBC, and you’ve got five months to watch this detective thriller before it disappears.

    Released in 2021 to some great critical reviews but mixed audience reception, the six-episode darkly comic yet gruesome series was made by the same production company behind Killing Eve.

    The action follows DCI Lake Edmunds (Lucy Hale), DS Nathan Rose (Henry Lloyd-Hughes), and DI Emily Baxter (Thalissa Teixeira) as they try to catch the Ragdoll killer, who threatens to kill six more times after a horrific discovery.

    With 92% on the Rotten Tomatometer but 38% on the Popcornmeter, it’s a divisive watch, described as both ‘brilliant’ and ‘terrible’.

    Well, now you can decide for yourself as all six episodes in the first series are available to watch on BBC iPlayer, having dropped on June 16.

    On the TV schedule, the second episode will be shown straight after the first at 11.55pm on BBC One on Monday evening, and then they will then air on a weekly basis.

    ‘So far it’s brilliant, love the settings, characters and actors, hope it continues being brilliant,’ commented @ferretfriend5458 at the time of its release.

    ‘Started watching this today and I’m addicted hopefully they will do another season it’s so good,’ agreed atrayfullofashes.

    Meanwhile Google reviewer Brian Scott questioned: ‘We’ve just watched the series and I’m still not sure if it was terrible or really good? Loads of dead end bits or cock ups? Bizarre but, we still watched it.’

    ‘Great show binge watched it yesterday. Couldn’t stop watching, had to find out how it ended,’ agreed Margaret Young.

    However, not everyone was hooked.

    ‘Much of the dialogue is mumbled and difficult to follow and the flashbacks are irritating,’ said Martin Leach, adding: ‘Even my dog stopped watching it and so did I after one episode.’

    ‘Pretty poor attempt at British crime drama,’ said Robin Spence, while another reader was disappointed at the adaptation from the book by Daniel Cole, calling it a ‘let down’.

    If you’re not in the market for a thriller, news came this week the BBC has also dropped a whole new series of its hit reality tv show, The Traitors.

    To fill the gap until the BBC’s star-studded Celebrity Traitors airs in autumn, the spin-off series The Traitors NZ has just dropped on iPlayer.

    The spin-off sees Claudia Winkleman’s hosting shoes filled by New Zealand TV presenter Paul Henry, who is also the face of New Zealand’s version of The Chase.
