Re: Ripper Steet
I love Ripper Street - in fact I love anything "dark" and unpleasant. Brilliantly acted and really interesting plots - loved the wonderful Joe Gilgun in the Fagin role in episode 2.Whitechapel was a series I really enjoyed as well - a sort of updated version.

Re: Ripper Steet
I watch it because it's quite well done, regarding the costumes and street scenes, but a couple of things lower it in my estimation. Firstly, the violence meted out to women in just about every episode. Yes, yes, we get that it's abhorrent! We just don't need to see brutalized women in every single episode. Secondly, the cardboard cut-out characters - there isn't one of the cast that I like or have a faint interest in.In short, it passes the time, but it's pretty forgettable, overall.

Re: Ripper Steet
It was a good ending. But I did shed a tear for that poor young constable just starting out. Somehow this programme seemed to move me even though or possibly because of the violence that happened. This violence continues today perhaps even worse than what is seen in Ripper Street. I am looking forward to some more of this series.|
