Ripper Street

If you watched Ripper Street last night did you understand what it was all about?

Because I certainly didn't.

Nope didn't have a clue....I was really looking forward to it too!

In the main I did and no doubt certain aspects of last night's theme will continue - thrilled to see Inspector Reid is getting re involved.


Synopsis..

//The opening of the new H division quarters by Assistant Commissioner Augustus Dove of Scotland Yard (Killian Scott) is interrupted by the murder of an Indian Muslim solicitor, who is found in Whitechapel docks with his throat slit. Meanwhile, Reid and Matilda, happy in their new dwellings by the seaside, receive a surprise visit from Deborah Goren (Lucy Cohu), who begs Reid to return to Whitechapel to re-investigate a murder for which acclaimed scientist Isaac Bloom has been incarcerated, and whom she believes is innocent of the crime. Drake's investigation into the murdered solicitor is halted by the arrival of Special Branch Inspector Constantine (Derek Riddell), who claims that Drake's suspect for the murder is infact the target of an undercover operation. Dr. Carlyle Probyn (Ed Hughes) has a proposition for Long Susan, that could see her escape her fate.//

Did not view any of the previous episodes. So, because of the big build up decided to watch the latest from start to end. Not only was I not gripped, I didn't fathom the plotline and fail to identify any sparkle at all. I tried and obviously failed.
