BBC's Ripper street

[The Wiser Hatter]

Ripper-Street-the-final-episode-BBC-One-review

Damm don't you just hate it when this happens. Ripper Street this season has been great and the final episode the second of a two parter was fantasic.
Well I hope it shows up on BBC America you guys will like this final season.

Oh man, I hate to hear this!

Blame the idiots who whine about paying the TV licence when they don't watch the beeb for pushing Auntie to pander to ratings. This went out opposite some celebrity rubbish... The Beeb is now saying they might have a part funding deal on the table with lovefilm or similar. I hope so.

 

[The Wiser Hatter]

I had seen the love film deal as possible. Netflix does this also.
Stupid reality TV is such a sucky thing to watch. We have a big Duck Dynasty flap going on now. Another waste of time show

The second (and, sounds like final) season premieres on BBC America on February 22.

Thanks, Brad.

Just finished the first two episodes and I am really enjoying. Fun, steampunk feel, kinda like how those Guy Richie Sherlock Holmes films should have been.

Looks like there will be a third series after all:

I'll have to give this a second chance.
Upon viewing it last Saturday, the wife and I just couldn't get into it.
This from 2 people that have seem 95% of the Mystery Science 3000 movies.
We're used to British period dramas (Life On Mars and Ashes To Ashes), as well as shows like Granada's version of Sherlock Holmes.
I don't know, initially it just didn't take.

Show saved!

I must say I was extremely unimpressed by the second series, having been a great fan of the first. Like many such historical series it became a bit too samey for my liking, and I could generate absolutely no interest in the soap opera aspects they were trying to develop. I enjoyed the beginning of the second series - maybe the first three episodes or so - but after that I lost interest and stopped watching.

I have seen the first episode of Ripper Street yesterday.
I had never heard about this show before reading about it here.

I like it, so thank you all.
