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.

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.

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.

No one's in a hurry to explain everything all at once, though it will all be explained eventually. A viewer just has to put up with a few blind alleys and a bit of head-scratching before the various plotlines—which include a "kill list" from the Ragdoll Killer that includes the name "Nathan Rose"—converge into something coherent. And, as it turns out, compelling.

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.
