Ripper Street on Netflix [View all]

It kept showing up on the home page and I kept avoiding this series. Anything to do with Jack the Ripper fails to interest me. Then I noticed that there are five seasons. So I figured to give a look at the first episode.

I'm up to Season 3 and trying not to dash through it. I watch a couple of episodes every few days. None of the individual actors intrigues me. But together they do a great job. The atmosphere is rich with character. The stories are varied about social issues and the latest technology of the era. It's clear why the series lasted for five seasons.
