With Susan’s father, the malicious Theodore Swift, back on the scene, Ripper Street set the stage last week for a concluding confrontation between Reid and the woman who shot him, Susan. ‘The Peace of Edmund Reid’ delivered that confrontation, but, in true Ripper Street style, it wasn’t quite as straightforward as that… ‘The Peace of … >
Ever since Inspector Reid’s fateful encounter with Susan and Capshaw in Episode 4, Ripper Street’s third season has been treading water somewhat with two generally standalone instalments.

With Reid retreating to the periphery for the time being, Ripper Street placed the focus squarely on Bennett Drake in a compelling instalment that effectively mixes standalone police work with serialised character development.
