It might be a bit of sensational, pulpy fun but Ripper Street is very slickly done.

It might be a bit of sensational, pulpy fun but Ripper Street is very slickly done.
We should be thankful that this special and crazy adventure ends on its own terms and in such a satisfying way.
It may look different, but the crucial DNA of Series 1 persists.
How Fringe will really end remains something that we can only speculate about.
This second episode begins in the aftermath of Mercier’s abduction by enemy agents.
Exquisite period detail, decent direction and an oddly appropriate soundtrack offset a lack of actual substance and any real surprises.
If it wasn’t clear before that Fringe is approaching its endgame, it definitely is now.
Primeval: New World has work to do, but it’s not without promise.
Ripper Street continues to be tremendously watchable and occasionally even a little surprising.
We’re only in January but it looks like Channel 4 have got one of THE shows of 2013 on their hands.
