I was wondering, I've been listening the ost of this serie for years but I have never been able to find the ost for the fourth and fifth season 🤔 is it just me?!

just started watching last night, on S0108 right now.

are seasons 2 - 5 as good or like most series each season gets worse?

I've just finished the show for the first time, but I've learned that the episodes I saw were apparently each around 9 minutes shorter than (what I assume) were the original versions. The finale had like a whole 15 minutes cut. I don't mind paying a premium to see the full proper versions, in HD, but I don't know where to find them. Can anyone help me out? I'm in the U.S.

edit: It seems the "extended" versions of episodes are exclusive to Amazon.uk, and only affects seasons 3 to 5. I'm not sure which, if any, physical releases use these versions.

About five minutes in, this is said during the graveyard scene. What on earth does it mean? Google isn’t helping me

So in this episode Cholera is suspect in what appears to be an outbreak and contamination. The symptoms are similar but with some digging Reid finds a connection with men who died all visiting a Molly House aka a brothel for LGBTQ people and Jackson makes a comment after an autopsy he found semen in a victims stomach.

How much semen did this guy drink because a quick google search showed it would be quickly digested given the components of the stuff is all organic and breaks down quickly. It’s also microscopic so what the heck? Even with the tools he had how much could a man swallow for it to show up? That had me laughing because the writers shouldn’t have known better. (Side if he found it in other areas I’d be like yeah … that makes sense)

Thanks for coming to my TED talk.

Hi, I'm looking for music of a style similar to the opening theme to use in my book trailer (a 'gaslamp gangster fantasy'). Does anyone by chance happen to know if there's a specific name for this style of music, or a source for more that I could possibly use copyright-free? I know it's a longshot but figured it couldn't hurt to ask. Thanks!

In ANY fasion! Anyone know anything about that?

Anyone else thinking the last Season was just dumb and pointless? I loved the show but Season 5 was a waste of time.

Im surprised there isn’t a stronger fandom, this show is great. Im actually rewatching it now and loving it all over again. Im a sucker for historic dramas and crime!

IMDb says it’s on MGM+ which is false, only other way to watch is buying on Amazon?? Maybe I’m missing something but I really want to watch this show. Hope a service picks it up again soon

I am still reeling from the wild ride that was season 5. I can't even start to watch another programme. I was still in shock from Bennet Drake's death. He was my favourite character by far. I was actually crying. But the sadness of the series finale where Reid has lost everyone is haunting me.

The acting was superb, it all seemed so real. The sets. All the street names familiar to me as I used to live in the East End when I was younger.

I'll be avidly reading this sub for more closure and anything I may have missed.

At the conclusion of the series Edmund Reid is seemingly alone in Whitechapel, with nobody else left and engrossed in his work. It’s a sad and lonely end, and Reid in many ways is as much punished for his actions as Dove and Long Susan. His prison is his work.

However, there is something wrong with the finale and that’s the death of Captain Jackson. Done off screen, some people have said that it wasn’t the best ending for the character.

But I believe that’s because Jackson didn’t die.

Two key things here:

Why does Jackson send the ring to Reid. This was his father’s ring which we saw is very precious to him. So why would he not pass that down to Connor?

The explanation is that Jackson faked his death and will return for the ring. If Connor had it, then he would likely have to reveal that he wasn’t dead to obtain it, or at least steal it and give rise to that suspicion.

By giving it to Reid, he knows it will be safe and it gives him an excuse to return to Whitechapel.

The second point is that upon Jackson’s death, Connor became ward of the attorney who held Theodore Swift’s immense assets, which were then granted to Connor. This all means that Connor is well provided for on Jackson’s “death.”

Jackson has the means and ability to fake his death and to disappear. Was he really a character to live out his days in peace fishing in Montana?

So the ending of the series isn’t sad or melancholy, because before long Jackson returned to Whitechapel under a whole new name with nobody else but Reid left to say he was anyone else.

Hi all, I hope this is okay to post here...

Basically, I work for a local hospice charity, and we were lucky enough to receive two suits donated by Jerome Flynn worn on set, and a signed script. I just wanted to put the word out there regarding the auction to people who might be interested in bidding.

Auction is here

Thank you for your time.

First time watcher and I must say I’ve been hooked. I’ve had to stop myself a few times because of how emotional it has gotten.

Bravo to the writers and producers. They knew exactly how to tug at my heart strings.

I’m new here however I didn’t see a post about it what is the song the music box please

The season was amazing. I really enjoyed watching Nathaniels story arc, from hating the bastard for killing Drake, to feeling sorry for him. His seclusion episode in Hackney was fantastic.

It really wasn’t going to end any other way for Susan.

Killing Jackson like that felt like a very weak way to show just how much Reid had lost. The guy was 3000 miles away anyway! It was a gut punch.

Seeing Reid getting helped by Drake to get ready for the ripper inquest really showed how much these characters meant to each other in a way we haven’t seen.

Lastly, why did Matilda say Reid will never visit? I don’t get it.

Sorry for wall of text. Amazing show.

I know almost no one else who has watched it other than me, and this sub is more or less inactive. This puzzles me, because it was a fantastic show, even though I disliked the series conclusion. Was it just too dark and sad?

I just finished watching the Ripper Street series and hated the ending! It leaves you feeling empty, sad maybe very hurt for Reid! That all of the people he loved and cared about have died or gone. It broke my heart that Jackson had to die as well. I have read a lot of the comments about thoughts on the ending and why Reid was left all alone. Even though the ending could have been much better, I believe the point was that this was his punishment to suffer. His daughter said "He can't" come to visit. Why? Because she knows that Whitecastle is his obsession. Remember she told him when they were at the seashore that he needed to go back. His flashbacks are reminding him of how loved he was and lets us, the views know how he met these individuals and what Jack the ripper actually did. They did leave it open if they wanted to bring back Jackson's son when Reid is old to a whole different set of issues of the times.

I might be losing my mind, but I could swear I saw an alternative ending to the last series. Did anyone see an ending where Reed sits down in rubble after pulling an all nighter, and drinks tea, with a peaceful look on his face? Have I imagined that? I could swear it was the very last ending to it all.

They made it way too sad, everyone dying, Reid alone, just feel empty inside after finishing the show. Anyone else feel that? I feel like complete shit. All those characters we were connected to, dead and forgotten.

Is it just me, or is the casting for Jackson’s brother some of the worst ever? His acting is atrocious, he doesn’t have a Southern accent (neither of them do), but yet they’re supposed to be from West Virginia, and his use of phrases from that time period sound way off and horrible. It just ruins that whole storyline for me.

I just got to the episode where Best is killed! I am thoroughly disappointed, but I loved the thorough reading he gave gave to Swift before hand! Best said "If I'm gonna die, you will most certainly catch this roast!"

I have recently discovered the show and I'm currently watching season 3 and damn, I'm disturbed if not horrified. What have they done to Susan ?? Being the only female lead character I fall for Susan right away. She was a bit underused in the first season. Season 2, among other things, adressed the hypocrisy behind the character and we saw some great character development but season 3 ? I'm 2 episodes in and I can't believe the monster she's become. I remember Raine warning her about how laying with a man to pay her debt would change her (not that it's the whole reason behind it, she was always shady) but jeez they went too far... In S03E01 she got 55 people killed for money and now in S03E02 she uses Reid's daughter to get our of trouble ? Like, she ripped Reid's heart opened so he would kill the dude who was holding Mathilda and get rid of that thorn in her side. That was beyond cold... I wonder if there's hope for her character.

I have two:

• Rose: all seasons. The actress is terrible and I could never forgive that humiliating scene at the end of season 4.
• Matilda: end of season 4, all of season 5. She's so disapproving of Reid (with some reason) but she refuses to even listen to him. And going to Dove was the lowest blow.

So I just finished the series and I have a few questions and qualms.

What happened to the burn scars on Reid from the first season? He spent a lot of time in the last two seasons not buttoned up and I didn’t see any scars. Are we supposed to just forget that was a thing? Haha

What was with Reid and the lady from their home by the sea? Like she was there a second and then neither Reid nor his daughter really speak any further about their time there. Weird. (Side note: I’m not a fan of older Mathilda and Drummond was not a favorite either)

I have so many other thoughts but the disappearance of his scars really bothered me.

Now I’m going to go rewatch the whole series. :)

Holy cow I am crying my eyes out. Like, from the chest sobbing. This show is emotionally exhausting. I did not expect to be this invested.

WHY IS EVERYONE DYING?
