Season 3, picks up after last season, but at least several months
if not a year or so later, and I recommend you watch the previous
seasons before this one. The series is set in White Chapel London just
after the Jack the Ripper killings; the police staff that are featured
in the show are those who had worked on the cases, although they
occurred before the series began. This season starts with a train wreck
robbery and members of the police and their family and friends are
reunited in the ruin after not seeing one another for a long time. As
with previous seasons each episode is another case for the police yet
there remains an overarching mystery over the season. This train wreck
case is not fully solved till the last episode. Not wanting to reveal
any spoilers, I won’t discuss the plots much. Many tid bits from the
character’s past resurface in this season which was intriguing and
enjoyable as some had been obscured for the whole show. Yet some parts
of the cases and the character’s personal lives remain mysterious going
into the next season. As with previous seasons, this is rated M for
mature due to violence, language, adult themes and nudity, so it’s not a
show for everyone. However if this is not bothersome and you enjoy
historical mysteries and CSI type shows or books, I highly recommend it
to you, as in addition to the crimes investigated there is ample
character development and interpersonal relationships at play with
mysteries of their own.
[If you enjoy this, you may also wish to try the first two seasons of
Ripper Street.]
