'Ridley's "The Peaceful Garden" Is Not A Promising Start
On paper, Ridley seemed like a show already a home run before it debuted. The series stars Line of Duty's Adrian Dunbar as the titular Alex Ridley, a retired detective whose former protege, DI Carol Farman (Bronagh Waugh), brings him back in a consulting role to help solve the murder of local farmer Jesse Halpin (Rob Mitchell-James), killed on his way home from the pub as he traversed the forest near his home. Farman insists on bringing Ridley back despite protests from her boss DCI Paul Goodwin (Terence Maynard), because it ties back to a cold case he worked on 13 years ago, the disappearance of Zoe Lindsey.
