It was. Victorian London was not a pleasant place if you were one of the many piss poor. No social security, no health service.

Just die quietly in the rat infested gutter seemed to be the norm. :y

The Victorian prose all seems a bit forced, the actors don't seem comfortable speaking 'in period', but it was a marked improvement on the first episode. I used to work opposite Leman St nick, albeit a few years after the suggested setting of this show haha! Used to see plenty of Omega cop cars parked up!

I have at last managed to watch the first episode, and will soon see the second.  Yes Opti it really reflects what we know the poor end of London, like Whitechapel, was like in the 1880s.  This atmospheric production oozes the dirt, squalor and dire poverty, with the smell of soot and rotting organic material almost coming out of the television! 8) 8) 8) :y

Remember this was at the peak of the British Empire, with Victoriana in it's full glory.  How many of the poor, and lower classes generally, ever really could enjoy that, all cramped 6 families or more confined to each room of a house, often "hot-bedding" it with each other?! ::) ::)

Who is still watching this excellent series?

For those who are and taking in the wonderful portrayal of policing in Victorian England during the 1880s, how many are wondering if only the police could work like that now with a no-nonsense approach before the days of PACE? ??? :D :D :D :D :D ;)

Cannot wait for tonight's episode, and wonder what uninhibited story line will befall us before the night is out?   :) :)

Well worth watching. However, I thought that the Austin Cambridge in the background was a bit of a continuity blooper. :)

I'd be happy with a Victorian no nonsense approach to policing, but to a point.  Torture is a bit out of order for example....  ;)

Yup, seen them all so far and really enjoying.

Filmed in Dublin of all places, and really good portrayal of Victorian London I think.

Which episode is the car in?
