Ripper Street (BBC America show)

Any other fans? I don't think I've caught every episode, but I'm completely hooked. Each episode I watch seems to be better than the last one.

I've watched it since it premiered and enjoy it a lot. Unfortunately, there is only one more episode until 2014. (That's the different thing about British series: they are usually 6-8 episodes in length compared to 13 or 26 here.)

 

I watch a good bit of British programming. Family in the UK recommend good shows that end up over here via BBC America, PBS, or video. Writing seems a lot better than most American TV dramas.

Have you watched The Hour? I've had it recommended to me, but haven't found it on BBC America yet.

The Hour had its second series on BBC America back in the Fall. There were two series of six episodes. The first one started slowly, but was good, worth getting through the slow start; the second series started faster, but I liked the story line of the first series better. There had been plans for a third series, but it was canceled.

 

At some point, you should be able to find it via Netflix or some other type of rental service. Perhaps it's still available via on-demand; that's how I watched the first series, but Verizon FIOS doesn't have it available any more. Some people I know have Comcast, and their on-demand viewing keeps shows available a bit longer.

Yes, I have watched it and like it as well. My fiancee is British and lives in the Uk, so over the past few years I have really started to watch a number of UK shows. I actually saw the first episode of Ripper Street while I was visiting her in the UK over the Christmas holiday period. Just as I'm sure ReverendBrewmeister could as well, there are a number of UK shows I could mention. However, as far as Ripper Street goes, for those who like the show, the good news is that there is going to be a second season of 8 episodes that is scheduled to be shown in early 2014.

Thanks, Reverend. I'll have to do some more digging to see if I can find it.

 

And I'm definitely glad to hear that Ripper Street is getting another season. The attention to detail in the show is really impressive to me.
