Review of Ridley

Ridley (2022– )
8/10
Been there / done that stories elevated by Dunbar´s performance
29 January 2023
True, Ridley is a rather old-fashioned approach, but yet no strict "one case per one episode" creation (well, there were 4 deaths to investigate, but due Ridley´s tragedy it is not advised to watch the episodes in random order) and it would be ridiculous to expect events or cases resembling Trainspotting in a small town or rural area... First 2 episodes were meatier as I did not surmise the wrongdoer, but the final 4th episode brought a nice closure to all the relatively recent events shadowing Ridley´s thought and actions...

And Adrian Dunbar is a great actor, excelling all the others, so there were no solid confrontations or equal team levelling, but it did not bother me much as I figured it out in advance. Thus, although not much is fresh here, it is still a solid British series with no solution known beforehand as it is the case when you watch series based on real events widely depicted in the media.
