We watched the first episode last night, and it did not disappoint...
The premise of the show is this:
The year is 1889, the city is London; shortly after The Ripper murders....
There's a new Chief Inspector in the district, and now there are new murders taking place....
The show (at least the first episode) really captures the gritty feel of the place and time, (as well as the language of the period) and it's very well cast and well written...
With a new show, one always has to see if they can sustain the quality past the pilot, but the first episode is a real winner....
(Of course Strop won't like it because there's an American cast in a major role, but one can't have everything....
)
Ok, touche'
