Season 4 opens with Reid drawn back to Whitechapel to investigate a case made by Jackson and Drake that has condemned his old associate Isaac Bloom to the hangman's noose. And Bloom is not the only one set for the rope...
The real strength of Ripper Street, aside from the delicate brilliance of its writing, lies in the sexy Mount Rushmore that is Macfadyen, Flynn and Rothenberg.
Ripper Street has not given up on intelligent interrogation of the past, and this fourth turn around the fleshpots of Whitechapel shows few signs yet of dwindling energy.
