At its heart, Ripper Street Season 4 understands what makes crime drama work — character first, plot second. In 1897, Reid has given up his detective work and lives in Hampton-on-Sea with Matilda. When his old friend Isaac is accused of murder, he is drawn back to Whitechapel to investigate. Meanwhile Drake is now head inspector of Whitechapel and still employs Jackson who has given up his drinking and gambling in order to save money to free Susan from prison. Matthew Macfadyen and Adam Rothenberg lead a cast that brings real weight to the material. It was aired in 2016. The plot mechanics of Ripper Street Season 4 never overwhelm the human cost underneath them. It knows exactly what it is, and does not try to be anything else.
Crime and mystery fans will find exactly what they are after in Ripper Street Season 4. It stands on its own even without an obvious comparison point. The complete run is available and best experienced without too much prior knowledge of where it goes. Watch Matthew Macfadyen work — it is a masterclass in the genre. Few crime dramas earn their twists this consistently.
