The aforementioned police target is DS Nathan Rose (Henry Lloyd-Hughes), recently returned to duty after suffering a nervous breakdown as a result of a previous case falling apart and letting a killer walk free. That said killer’s head is part of the patchwork ‘Ragdoll’ suspended from the tower block is just the start of the mystery.
Joining Rose in the investigation are veteran DI Emily Baxter (Thalissa Teixeira), Nathan’s boss and best friend who’s become numb to the ever increasing violence in the English capital, and American DS Lake Edmunds (Lucy Hale), a by-the-book optimist thrust head first into this gruesome case.
Ragdoll may sound like a modern day Se7en, but with some of the creatives behind Killing Eve involved, don’t be surprised when the extreme violence is punctuated by surprisingly light-hearted dialogue, which comes as a relief when the six-episode plot heads to some very dark places.
