Ripper street

I didn't watch it either. I thought it would end up being a bit 'samey' - and haven't we all had enough of the same? However, I went off for a bath but DH watched it and said it was really quite good. Apparently it's a different story every week. I'm not very good with violent stuff though - especially towards women, so I may not bother with it.

petallus its actually based on the time after the Ripper murders, although they were an important part of the story last night. There was a lot of violence, bare knuckle boxing and police brutality.

I might watch it but I'm uncomfortable with entertainment based on such horrific murders of young women. Titillating to some people.

I watched this - not sure about it though. I will watch it again but wonder whether its going to turn into a Victorian, more violent, Morse. You know, brilliant copper, loyal sargeant.

Didn't watch this for long then switched off. The subject matter was grim enough, but all the additional gratuitous violence was too much for me.

I'll watch on iplayer later just to see if its any good...

I was hoping for something different I think.. did not really enjoy it but will give it a second go..sometimes takes time to get 'into' a programme!

Nor me, found it all too wearing. Nothing decent on the box at all!

Nor me, Ella....

I wasn't impressed I'm afraid.
I couldn't tell what they were saying half the time, but I shall watch the next one just to be sure.

I enjoyed it, had to look away at some bits though.

And very good the first episode was indeed.
