and you’ve got five months to watch this detective thriller before it disappears. <\/p>\n<p>Released in 2021 to some great critical reviews but mixed audience reception, the six-episode darkly comic yet gruesome series was made by the same production company behind <a data-track=\"inline-tag-auto-link_article\" href=\"https:\/\/metro.co.uk\/tag\/killing-eve\/\">Killing Eve<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p>The action follows DCI Lake Edmunds (Lucy Hale), DS Nathan Rose (Henry Lloyd-Hughes), and DI Emily Baxter (Thalissa Teixeira) as they try to catch the Ragdoll killer, who threatens to kill six more times after a horrific discovery. <\/p>\n<p>With 92% on the Rotten Tomatometer but 38% on the Popcornmeter, it’s a divisive watch, described as both ‘brilliant’ and ‘terrible’. <\/p>\n<p>Well, now you can decide for yourself as all six episodes in the first series are available to watch on BBC iPlayer, having dropped on June 16. <\/p>\n<figure class=\"img-container shareable-item wp-caption\">\n<div
