Lol at the last one. My friend keeps recommending Ripper Street to me, and it is on my list, but do you like it?

It’s no Black Sails but it’s interesting. I haven’t developed a burning hatred for any of the male characters that I’m supposed to like yet, although they’ve all got their issues, and the female characters have each got their own thing going on. It passes the Bechdel Test, at least. It’s gritty and grimdark in a lot of places, but it also handles some sensitive issues surprisingly well, although the cast could have done with some diversifying and while there isn’t a complete lack of LGBTQ+ rep, it’s not great, either.
