The hit TV series, which is aired by the BBC, will return to filming in the Clancy Barracks in Dublin later this month and is set to continue filming until August 31st.

The first series was set in London’s East End in Whitechapel in the year 1889; six months after the infamous Jack the Ripper murders. When more women are murdered on the streets of Whitechapel, Detective Inspector Edmund Reid (played by Matthew Macfadyen), Detective Sergeant Bennett Drake (Jerome Flynn), and US Army Captain Homer Jackson (Adam Rothenberg) begin to investigate the killings. Fears that Jack the Ripper has returned begin to surface in the disadvantaged district.

Poor Hobbs...

Who You Are Makes Everything Worth...

Ripper Street Season 1 Review “What Use Our Work” (TV EQUALS)

On last week’s Ripper Street, Captain Jackson’s former Pinkerton colleague set him up as the murderer of a prostitute. It seemed from the preview that the season finale was going to focus on clearing Jacksons name and quelling public panic over the return of Jack the Ripper. In an interesting twist, neither of these turned out to be the case.

The police station is still grieving at the loss of Hobbs. In an incredibly touching scene, the policemen come together in a bar to mourn their fallen colleague. Drake, a man typically quick to show anger or toughness, is overwhelmed with emotion and stands before them with tears in his eyes. He is angry, though, at Inspector Reid, who he thinks is out of touch with the lives and concerns of his men. For his part, Reid is equally affected by Hobbs’ death, but realizes that he never took the time to get to know Hobbs when he was alive. For example, he didn’t know Hobbs was married.

These shortcomings in Reid’s professional life are eclipsed by the ruins of his personal life. He previously shared a passionate kiss with Mrs. Goren, but goes even further when he shows up at her bedroom. While this is not the best course of action, it is not surprising considering how cold his wife has been towards him. Everything about Emily is stiff and unwelcoming – her manner of speech, hair, clothes, and avoidance of much physical contact. Unfortunately, Reid doesn’t get the solace he’s searching for from Mrs. Goren. In a rather abrupt manner, she shuts down his efforts to tell her about the search for a man who may have information about his daughter. Reid is so broken and alone. It’s tragic.
