Critic Reviews

The Telegraph Benji Wilson

Dec 6, 2021

Ragdoll is, as you’ll have gathered, laughably over-the-top but it’s also genuinely funny. By far the best part of it is Rose’s relationship with Baxter. Read full review

The Guardian Jack Seale

Dec 6, 2021

You will know within 10 minutes whether the operatic ultraviolence, black comedy and arch, very nearly overwritten dialogue make you wriggle with joy or combust with irritation. If you like it, there is a new sleuthing duo to obsess over. Read full review

The Times Carol Midgley

Dec 7, 2021

The plot is silly. ... However, it is saved by deadpan funny, charismatic performances from Lloyd-Hughes and Thalissa Teixeira as his boss, DI Emily Baxter, along with their young sidekick, a worthy, earnest American DC, Lake Edmunds (Lucy Hale). It is urban noir with laughs. Read full review

Not for the squeamish. ... Don't try to make sense of any of it. Just cover your eyes and watch if you dare. [22 Nov - 5 Dec 2021, p.9]

While the comedy of the series doesn’t work most of the time, Ragdoll’s investigation into its ruthless killer will likely be intriguing enough to keep viewers engaged. Read full review

We hope the muddled first episode of Ragdoll isn’t an indication of where the series is going. The Ragdoll Killer presents an interesting case, but there’s so much thrown into the mix that we get the feeling the mystery is going to suffer under a pile of quips and contrivances. Read full review

Daniel Fienberg

[The killer is a] combination of so many near-psychic killers engaged in so many games of cat-and-mouse with so many different detectives that he’s never at any point scary or disturbing on his own. All the excessive business renders moot any attempt to play along with the mystery. You’re supposed to invest instead, I guess, in the partnership at the show’s center. But other than forced banter, there isn’t much there. Read full review
