YMMV / Ringer

• Complete Monster: Bodaway Macawi is a ruthless crime lord who deals in drugs, prostitution, and murder. When prostitute Bridget Kelly sees him brutally kill a stripper, Bodaway tries to have her murdered as a witness. Having killed many before, Bodaway kidnaps Bridget's sponsor Malcolm in her drug program, tortures him for days, and then injects him with heroin. Hunting Bridget down, Bodaway murders the proxy he enlisted to help before trying to finally murder Bridget as well.
• Fan Nickname: "Shivet" for Bridget when she's impersonating Siobhan.
• Germans Love David Hasselhoff: Ringer struggled in The United States, but was the top-rated The CW show in Canada.
• Just Here for Godzilla: Some younger viewers tuned in just to see Maya Bennett as Andrew's daughter.
• Rescued from the Scrappy Heap: Henry's display with the paternity test and leaving Siobhan completely broke as punishment for her constant lies seems to have raised his standing among some fans.
• Retroactive Recognition: Juliet was the first major role for Zoey Deutch who would become much better known over the next decade.
• The Scrappy: Henry. Fans do not like him. Television Without Pity has christened him "Tool Belt," meaning that he's not just a tool, he's a whole belt of tools.
• Special Effect Failure / Narm: Behold!
  • This video from The Soup says it all.
  • It's very noticeable how few times you can see Bridget and Siobhan's faces in the same shot, especially when compared to flashbacks to their childhood where they're played by real twins.
