Ragdoll

This was an interesting drama with lots of promise, though the plotline did lack in places. There’s a good sense of dark humour and some of the murders are very novel, but it also exposes some very dark holes in the police force. And would you really trust the same people to manage a serial killer once they’ve failed three times already? Even the tactics that they take towards the end of the series focus on gung-ho tactics to protect themselves rather than the public. It’s a shame that we didn’t see any background to the characters that were targeted apart from the episode that they appeared in. The protagonist had quite a strong backstory to dip into but I get a sense that the conclusion did not justify his irrational actions. It must have been clear early on that the producers got bored early and turned it into a chase rather than a whodunnit, but it’s still entertaining.
