Ridley is een Britse crimeserie van de zender ITV. De serie ging in première op 28 augustus 2022.
Oud-inspecteur Alex Ridley is met vervroegd pensioen gegaan na de tragische dood van zijn vrouw en dochter. Zijn oude team, waaronder de nieuwe inspecteur Carol Farman, die ook zijn protegé was, hoopt dat hij hen toch nog wil bijstaan bij het oplossen van een complexe moordzaak. Misschien helpt dat Ridley ook met het verwerken van zijn verdriet.
Nice series with great storylines. Sometimes more exciting and believable than other times. I can't really get into it, although I have now watched all episodes. I just don't understand Adrian Dunbar's singing; he has a nice voice, but I don't think he's a top singer... I get the idea that he would rather have become a jazz singer than an actor. A bit of unnecessary filler for the episodes.
I don't really need the singing, but he does indeed have a past in music: https://www.radiotimes.com/tv/drama/ridley-adrian-dunbar-singing-explained-newsupdate/
Very mediocre. The first episode was good and that's why I watched the rest. Part two was less, three even less and four not good. Ridley is an advisor, but completely overpowers DI Farman and she makes it all happen. Her boss then has to act as a kind of disruptor, but that doesn't work out. The interludes in the café should give some more relief to Ridley, but unfortunately that doesn't work for me. Anyway, a series with potential, but it often just falls short.
