Ripper Street S2: The Guide Recommends

Here's what The Guide says about Ripper Street:

The brilliant Victorian crime procedural returns. Matthew Macfadyen stars as Inspector Reid, the copper with the misfortune to have Victorian Whitechapel as his patch. The scripts soar above anything else in its genre and really throw the visually similar Peaky Blinders into sharp relief. This is how sharp, observant and subtle period drama can be.
