Community reviews for Ripper Street, shown here with its season details.
The best BBC crime drama, set in Victorian era. Although, if I'm honest, while series 2 got cancelled abruptly until they brought it back, they should've left it at series 3. Series 4 was disappointing and series 5 left a bad taste in my mouth. Whereas series 3 ended perfectly, and they should have left where it was. Nevertheless, Ripper Street was a superb show, and a hat tip to the leading casts' performance.
