Ridley; Outlander: Blood of My Blood

“Ridley has much going for it: a strong lead actor in Adrian Dunbar, a good supporting cast and a cracking slot on ITV1 at 8pm on Sunday evenings. And yet it feels to me to be lacking something. What is it? I’d say it’s oomph, a sense of momentum, a fire in its belly. It has the right components but it’s as if they need a shot of tequila to wake them up.”
Carol Midgley, The Times

“One you’ve cast off the cliches, the strength of Adrian Dunbar’s performance is that he acts in a recognisably human way. There is something reassuringly normal about him, and Ridley is a calming comfort watch. It just needs to devote as much care to the storylines as it does to the jazz.”
Anita Singh, The Telegraph

“It is both atrocious and very watchable. But is it as atrocious and very watchable as Outlander? For now, the jury is oot.”
