Having read all the books in this series I was so looking forward to this series, the Ragdoll book is one of the best I have read in the last 3 years. Unfortunately the writers and directors have messed up this adaptation. The actors I feel have done there best with what they have been given to work with. It's almost like they didn't read the book and just adapted it from a synopsis, the characters are wrong and the show has no fluidity. Extremely disappointed as the other books are just as good but this has probably scuppered any chance of them being adapted. Just hope someone sees the true potential of the books and develops them into films.

As usual, the film adaptation of the novel could have been great if they had stuck closer to the source material. Lucy Hale --- a Yank Detective with this team in London? Just would not happen and her character is a Male Brit in the novel. Killer is changed, ending is changed, but this version of Ragdoll can just be enjoyed on its' own as a decent mystery/thriller mini-series that chose to make major alteration from the far better novel.

Really disappointed as I wanted to like this, but it was just ridiculous. I like most of the cast in other things, cant believe so many took part in this nonsense. Police were just ridiculously inept. Script was terrible and just got worse. Actions of the main characters were implausible. I could go on, but i wont...just disappointed.

A serial killer kills his victims in a particularly bleak and gruesome fashion, a team of Detectives have to battle against the clock to catch him, a list of victims offers a glimmer of hope.
Ok, it's not the easiest thing to follow, at times you will be scratching your head, wondering what on Earth is going on, episode three had me utterly baffled. It's one of those that is worth sticking with, as the whole thing is somehow better than the sum of its parts.
Some of the killings are outrageously over the top, but wonderfully macabre, enough here for fans of suspense and horror. It's well paced, gritty and does in fairness feel very unique, it's definitely not your run of the mill thriller. If you like a series that answers every question, feels black and white, you'll be frustrated.
The acting is generally good, one character is very annoying, perhaps intentionally so, Sam Troughton and Sam Spiro are just wonderful.
Don't expect to fully understand, but expect to be shocked and entertained. 7/10.

I liked episode 1 which was fun and also funny.
Episode 2 was good too, apart from the ending which was drivel.
Episode 3 continued to get worse with some of the most inept plotting I've ever seen.
From then on it continued in the same vein of utter idiocy, with any semblance of solid police work completely abandoned as poorly written characters did even more stupid things to drag this sorry piece of poorly written excrement to a shoddy and unbelievably poor conclusion.
Everyone involved should feel thoroughly ashamed of themselves.

Took about ten minutes for them to make a joke about how even white men dont like serial killers, like, whats the joke, that white men are almost as bad as serial killers but not quite as bad? Pathetic.

The Brits do a much better crime show than the Americans, the story is interesting and the annoying typical LA vegan cop adds a bit of humour, seeing her with her hurt feelings, while everyone else gets on with the job, looking forward to the next episode.

If you haven't read the book you might struggle to follow this show.
I've watched 2 episodes and I'm enjoying it. It's a gritty as the book. Though I think they need to explain more in the show for people who haven't read the book. Otherwise it's hard to follow.

From the Hollywood Reporter's review, "At the same time, impressionable devotees of the genre are the ones most likely to recognize that the show is, itself, a patchwork of far more than six familiar serial killer movies and TV shows. Its only original aspect is the often chaotic stitching together of the familiar elements."
Nothing really new here, a terrible script and a waste of good actors/actresses. Guess AMC must have been desperate when they funded this series. A simple old "Vera", "Grantchester" or "Endeavour" murder mystery is so much better and they are believable, this one is not.

This is such a strange show. At times it's hard to follow, but it really grew on me; and I can't wait to see the next episode. I'm totally hooked on it. It's different but different is good.

Interesting UK show. Fast paced and confusing if you don't pay very careful attention. Love the ironic send-up of the super-woke lesbian vegan American cop from NJ. Loved the BoJo-like character. If you're looking for a cop show with traditional formula and pacing, or you struggle with irony then this might not be for you. Personally I enjoyed it to start with, but less as it went on.

Constant flash backs and weird camera work, erratic scenes and the whole production just becomes characters arguing. Non stop arguing. It gets old fast, just solve a crime, or gather a few clues. Nope, just walk blindly into every episode, argue and then flashback. Ugh. Made it to Eps 3 and bailed.

I liked the show. Except for detective inspector Edmunds. The cheerie, quirky American detective inspector. I thought that she is extremely annoying and unlikable.

I like UK series but this one is a struggle to watch. One of the actresses is an American, however there is also an American feel to this series. Heck, even Natasha Little has some kind of an American accent. If I wanted to watch US cop series there are many I can choose from.... but I wanted British. You Brits are fine and unique as you are, stop trying to be something you're not. Time to watch some Midsomer reruns to erase this turkey from my memory.

I think after seeing episode 1, the serie follows Daniel Cole's book quite accurate. Waiting for the next episodes to see if it hanging in. Acting is solid from the main players.

Lucy Hale's character will drive lots of potential viewers away from the series. She is the combination of all things the rest of the world don't like about Americans.

I saw that Thalissa Teixeira was in this, so I decided to watch it. It's not bad, the three leads actors are really good. DI Baxter and DS Rose have good chemistry. There's a few scenes that will have you saying seriously.....
If you're looking for something to binge and you like serial killer crime shows give it a try. I binged the first 5 episodes and can't wait for the finale this week.

Crime and mystery is my favourite so this is hard to criticize. Wish it was rather an American director and producer. They could have done much more to enhance the suspense. Maybe more of a "Seven" spin off. But the story line was great with a good ending.

I was really looking forward to watching this because of the book (which is superb btw) but it is a complete and utter disappointment!!
The lead character is William Oliver Layton-Fawkes (Wolf) in the book but is Rose or something in the show. They have played around with the integral characters of the book and called them the same names but the characteristics are completely off!! I don't understand why they have done this.
The show doesn't flow well. The editing is very poor and it jumps back and forth more than necessary. It is difficult to keep track of what is going on. I'm writing this whilst the first episode is on in the background as I have completely and utterly lost interest in it.

I prefer British crime drama
It's an interesting twist, although it is a little confusing at times. I like the mixture of American actors with British.

I binge watched this during a quiet time. On the positive side, it is a weird but gripping premiss and gets off to a galloping start. However I was conflicted from the start about how much of the dramatic impact depended on schlock horror jolts, and on the way that the tech relied on in the TV series (I have not read the books) will age and then look a bit daft. So the regularity of people dying horribly combined with the amount of essential action taking place over smart phones started to become the plot, rather than carrying the plot. All drama depends on the viewer being prepared to suspend disbelief, but in this case the amount of disbelief needed to accept the varied illnesses, traumas and misbehaviours of all officers on the police team searching for the killer went too far and became quite funny. The old trope of oh, a dark cellar where anyone could jump out with a knife - I'll go in there without backup, for sure. That kind of thing. In addition, the notion of the evil killer as some kind of super-villain with infinite resources and infinite time to devise fiendish plans was pushed way too far. I think the last scene leaves the door open for another series but I can't see myself wanting to find out more.

Not very good at all. It's one of those programs where you get to see all the good bits in the previews. Acting was OK, American character was very annoying 'tho.

The whole thing is about avrage, then comes Lucy Hales amazing character. She is superwoke, annoying but funny and brings something new to the ordinary copdynamic. I really hope the intention was a woke stereotype and not att really misguided attempt att some wierd version of a strong woman.
Besides Lucy Hale the first 3 episodes is an avrage cop and super serialkiller show.
The dialog is also a bit strange and feels more adapted for a comicbook then TV.
Iam going to watch it all because of the Haledynamic och cool murders.
