Ragdoll

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.

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.

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.

A FIVE was mainly because Love Lucy Hale so much. If it would have been REMOTELY OK, I would have been kinder. The premise of a super sadistic serial killer is a good start. But then it falls FLAT! I mean PANCAKE FLAT! It's like the writers wrote a premise for a story but not the actual STORY. Huge waste of time. Don't bother. I'm done.

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.
