Thought I'd bump this up because I gave up on the first series but started watching series 3 when it returned to the BBC and have now bought series one and two to catch up on. Not the programme I thought it was; very dark and gothic; it was most probably becoming a huge fan of Jerome Flynn after seeing him in Game of Thrones that made me give it a second chance.

Don't remember that one!

I only watched the first episode. I don't mind a bit of gore but snuff movies? I found that very disturbing and haven't watched it since.

They'd better get rid of that Inspector Shine....never forgave him for killing the Elephant Man!

I lost track of the story line completely last night amidst all the gore, but I just have to keep watching, it is addictive!

I love it, had trouble signing the petition though, but will try again.

It's too gory for me.

I confess to being slightly addicted to this weird series. The BBC was going to axe it but a petition to make another series is doing well. Please sign at www.change.org/en-GB/petitions/reverse-the-bbc-s-decision-to-cancel-ripper-street?
