    To me, this movie is perfection.

    A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.

    I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

    I am totally hooked. Can never watch fewer than two per evening.Now as to the flaws.First, Jewish themes. In the earlier episodes, when Reid meets Deborah Goren, people are speaking Yiddish, accurate for that period for Jewish immigrants. But in the episode where Bloom is in jail, the Jews speak Hebrew, and modern Hebrew at that. No way. First, religious Jews used Hebrew only for religious studies; for regular conversation they used Yiddish. Plus, the man speaking Hebrew uses the modern Israeli Hebrew pronunciation, which did not yet exist. Ditto when Reid tries to explain to them that he has had a connection with Goren's orphan home, saying "yatom", "orphan" in Hebrew . But that's modern Hebrew; the correct pronunciation at that time was "yosem".Another flaw: when Jackson visits the Obsidian clinic, he refers to a periodic table of the elements on the wall. But it's a modern table; many if not most of those elements had yet to be discovered.That being said, I reiterate that I love the series, dark as it tends to be. I am also glad that the two leading female characters are finally listed as stars.

    So disappointed with the series finale, ugh!!! I have been watching this series since the beginning and I have loved every minute of it. The story line, acting, actors, all top notch - so you can imagine my disappointment when I read the series was coming to an end. Who wrote that last episode?!? It was too ridiculous for words!I don't understand the thought process as to why Matthew had to die. Wasn't it enough that he was sent back to America as part of the deal? The only thing that made that a little easier was that he was taking Conor and finally that poor child was going to be loved and looked after by a parent - not for long however!How about Matilda! The last words she had for her father - what was that about?!? I thought that was rather harsh considering the poor man had been tormented most of the show because he felt responsible for her death (although he never stopped looking for her). And poor Mr. Reid....I adored his character and in the end they made him out to be this unhinged lunatic moving in and out of reality, with everyone he loved moved away or dead, and with no life or friends outside of work. What a sad, pathetic ending for such a brilliant, and yes at time, tormented character. Sooo disappointed. He certainly deserved a happier ending.

    Just finished watching Series 3 and I love this show! The whole series story line pulls you in and doesn't want to let you go. I love that Amazon picked this back up and kept it going. Please keep producing this series! I recommend this show to anyone. There is more obvious violence than typically seen on TV but it makes it grittier and more realistic than many other shows. The relationships between the main characters are complex and there is no romanticizing of what life would have been like during this period in this area of London. It is a heavy story line with definitely a dark undertone, however there are moments of brightness. I will definitely watch this show over again.

    I watched this show after finishing Whitechapel and well because it's BBC.I liked the style and the dark, grit of this show but Matthew Macfadyen's 'Det. Insp. Edmund Reid' REALLY annoyed the sh*t out of me.Just too much of a bumbling idiot and making so many stupid, rookie mistakes.Other than that it has a good cast, aside from Macfadyen, and good stories.Whitechapel is way better! I probably won't watch a second season, unless they get rid of Det. Insp. Edmund Reid or he gets a personality change! :)
