"Police procedural set in London around 1890"
4 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

Does a good job of portraying the seedy side of London. Plots are clever, including the long arc plots, acting is good. Lots of references to the Ripper but this is not about the Ripper. Some nudity and some gore (they're a bit keen on post mortem exams) but not overmuch. Keen to see the next season.

Description

Ripper Street is a British crime drama TV series presented on DVD.

Haunted by the failure to catch London’s most evil killer, Jack the Ripper, inspector Edmund Reid now heads up the notorious H Division – the toughest police district in the East End. Charged with keeping order in the blood-stained streets of Whitechapel, Reid and his men
find themselves fighting to uphold justice and the rule of law; but always in the background lurks the fear of the Ripper – is he back for another reign of terror? Rich episodic storylines meld with the intrigue of a criminal underworld festering on the hard streets of Victorian London, following the battle of the men whose job it is to bring the law to the lawless.

Ripper Street TV Series Reviews:

Ripper Street is a compelling, zesty crime drama with blockbuster production values and a stellar international cast. “[The] script is real, alive and human. it’s beautifully performed, and beautiful to look at – stylish, and stylised. The bare-knuckle fight scenes are brutal and memorable. it’s proper, character-based crime drama, gripping, and yes – i’m afraid – ripping as well”” The Guardian

“It is well-written and certainly well-acted, with plot and psychological twists as numerous and tantalizing as the streets on which they occur.” Los Angeles Times

Ripper Street was clever enough not to hang its hat on the over-examined killings of the five Ripper victims, and clever fans of police procedurals will relish spending eight hours with cops who have to invent the crime-solving tools at their disposal.” Kansas City Star

“It's testament to the richness of Ripper Street's police-procedural-meets-costume-drama premise, not to mention the seediness of the Victorian East End, that the writers are yet to run out of new ideas for gruesome crime plots.” Independent
