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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
