The actors aren't that bad at acting, but I still can't believe it. I watch it as a documentary, it turns out, not an artistic one. But the idea is interesting, I will look further
The beginning is actually funny, or rather Rupert looks funny against the background of such simple and sloppy men. It is very interesting to observe this conflict between Miles and Chandler. And Pemberton, my friend Pemberton, I haven't seen you in ages, not since the League of Gentlemen. In general, I would like to know if the team will be able to agree with the new boss and what is this mysterious OCD in Joe Chandler, what is it?
A good first episode, it was interesting to watch + Steve Pemberton got a very interesting role here, and the moment at the end turned out to be a creep, I was surprised (
An interesting first season, a little let down, in my opinion, the ending. It would have been better if the Ripper hadn't been found at all, as it actually was in history. But the actors are great, and the rest is just fantasy.
Modern Whitechapel. A young and promising detective inspector has been appointed to head the murder investigation. A common case turns into a series of brutal murders, strangely similar to the crimes of a famous historical villain.
I really liked the first season. A good fresh idea with a good story, with a variety of conflicts, with interesting characters and very different main characters. Promoted by his superiors, a painfully neat gentleman with excellent theoretical knowledge, an experienced sergeant "from the people", direct, a little cynical and rude, with many years of practice and dislike for complex hypotheses, a harmless eccentric intellectual, an amateur historian, who has been scrupulously studying the details and circumstances of the unsuccessful search for the famous serial killer for years. Detective intrigue is also at a pretty decent level. It was staged and shot slowly, the editing is high-quality, and in some scenes it is simply brilliant. They play well.
The second and third seasons turned out to be paler, the initially grateful plot lost its novelty, the main characters got stuck. However, it is a natural, logical and quite worthy continuation. But the last season is already a different genre, which, of course, is easily explained by the desire of the creators to return the novelty, but not by respect for the viewer. I recommend those who liked the first season to stop at the third one, so as not to risk spoiling the experience. They remained ambiguous for me.
Language. I didn't notice any particularly difficult slang or heavy regional accent. But they speak naturally, vividly, not always legibly, sometimes quickly, sometimes difficult, there are enough characters with a characteristic simple pronunciation. It's not easy to understand everything without subtitles.
