'Bizarre but brilliant' thriller from creators of Killing Eve made free to stream on BBC iPlayer - but it won't be available for long
A 'bizarre but brilliant' thriller has been made free to stream on BBC iPlayer, but won't be available for long.
Based on Daniel Cole's popular novel of the same name, Ragdoll is a fast-paced six-part thriller produced by the same team behind Killing Eve.
After first airing in 2021, the drama has recently been added to BBC iPlayer and is available for fans to watch.
Henry Lloyd-Hughes plays DS Rose, with British-Brazilian actress Thalissa Teixeira as his friend and colleague DI Emily Baxter, as well as Lucy Hale as DCI Lake Edmunds.
The series follows the three detectives as they investigate a serial killer, dubbed Ragdoll, who murdered six people and stitched parts of their bodies together to make a grotesque Frankenstein-like monster.
However, those hoping to delve into the thriller don't have long as it's only on the site for five months.
It's also airing weekly on Mondays on BBC One.
Viewers seem to be split over the series, which scores 92% on the Tomatometer on Rotten Tomatoes, but 33% on the Popcornmeter.
Watchers have left their verdicts online over the years and according to Metro one said: 'So far it's brilliant, love the settings, characters and actors, hope it continues being brilliant.'
While on Google Reviews someone penned: 'We've just watched the series and I'm still not sure if it was terrible or really good? Loads of dead end bits or cock-ups? Bizarre but, we still watched it.'
One fan wrote: 'Great show binge watched it yesterday. Couldn't stop watching, had to find out how it ended.'
'Loved loved loved it! Book was better but enjoyed the tv series,' another said.
While one viewer penned: 'Started watching this today and I'm addicted hopefully they will come out another season it's so good.'

Someone else wasn't so impressed and said: 'Just started watching it. It's totally out there and unbelievable.
'Feel quite compelled to keep watching for the time being, not sure I'll keep it up though. Exhausted trying to keep up!'
Another chimed in: 'Much of the dialogue is mumbled and difficult to follow and the flashbacks are irritating Even my dog stopped watching it and so did I after one episode.'
