Ripper Street - Season 2
The series goes back to offer a host of exciting and different adventures and dramatic events. The season opens with a dangerous terrorist, allegedly a member of the Irish Republican Brothers, fleeing police custody and attacking a member of parliament. In order to arrest him, Reid sends the trip on a secret mission to authenticate the daughter of the man. On the other hand, the killing of a Telegraph boy reveals a secret network of home-based prostitution within the post office, as well as two young extortion agents have been found, which could lead to a new and controversial scandal.

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.

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.

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

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