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.

While much has been made of the fact Ragdoll has been co-produced by the makers of Killing Eve, it lacked that show’s perfectly calibrated wit. Instead it chucked in one-liners as though they were going out of fashion.
-
[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.
