The law for the lawless.
A drama set in the East End of London in 1889, during the aftermath of the "Ripper" murders. The action centres around the notorious H Division – the police precinct from hell – which is charged with keeping order in the chaotic streets of Whitechapel. Ripper Street explores the lives of characters trying to recover from the Ripper's legacy, from crimes that have not only irretrievably altered their lives, but the very fabric of their city. At the drama's heart our detectives try to bring a little light into the dark world they inhabit.

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.
