Jack the Ripper was a serial killer who butchered a number of women in and around the Whitechapel District of London in 1888. This drama begins about six months after the final murder, with now-peaceful East London hoping that the reign of terror is over. Among the hopeful are members of H Division, the police precinct tasked with keeping order in the district, including Detective Inspector Edmund Reid, a forward-thinking detective haunted by a past mistake that ended in tragedy. While trying to keep order in the chaotic streets of Whitechapel, Reid is soon drawn into the seedy criminal underworld of Victorian London, where each new murder elicits fear that the Ripper may be back.

Rebecca Nicholson Guardian There was a brothel, and a brothel-keeper, but she wasn't dead. So that's progress. Oct 22, 2018 Full Review David Hinckley New York Daily News Resolution, in standard Ripper Street fashion, comes with ambivalence. It also does little to sort out Reid's own complicated life. But its well-turned story should keep viewers tuned in. Rated: 3/5 Feb 24, 2014 Full Review Neal Justin Minneapolis Star Tribune More proof that the Brits do detective stories better than we Yanks. Feb 21, 2014 Full Review Alex Davies Cultured Vultures The entire avenue of exploration that the viewer had watched, had become moot... It is a mere minuscule blot on an outstanding show by an outstanding production house, but at that level of industry, no, I don't think that should have happened. Oct 3, 2019 Full Review Courtney Vaudreuil TV Equals This was a solid episode that wove together historical fact with the drama we expect from Ripper Street. Mar 17, 2014 Full Review Stu Whittaker What Culture For me, the episode brings back what worked best for the last series, the script, camerawork and editing are used concisely to create an engaging tale.
