Ripper Street - Season 2
We come back again to offer a whole host of new events in the second season. The season begins with many powerful surprises. With the investigation of Winkler's death, Reid and the team deal with the murder of a woman who has stolen her recently delivered child, leading them to a former enemy. On the other hand, a prominent member of the City Council of London was kidnapped. His abduction appears to be linked to the election of a potential female member of the Council, but things are complicated when many other prominent men disappear.

This was a solid episode that wove together historical fact with the drama we expect from Ripper Street.

It's testament to the richness of Ripper Street's police-procedural-meets-costume-drama premise, not to mention the seediness of the Victorian East End, that the writers are yet to run out of new ideas for gruesome crime plots.

More proof that the Brits do detective stories better than we Yanks.

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.

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.
