Here's what People Magazine had to say about Ripper Street, which will begin airing in the US on BBC America on Sat January 19th:
GOOD YARN: BBC America's Ripper Street, premiering Jan 19, is what last year's Copper wanted to be: an entertainingly sinister dip in the cesspool of 19th-century criminality. Jack the Ripper has vanished, but London police aren't done with vile murderers. As the chief dectective, Matthew Macfadyen (Pride & Prejudice) has a low, soft voice and tired bedroom eyes that could have lured Queen Victoria out of widowhood. He's ideal.
Well said! (thanks to Bettay)
