Another Victorian mystery series is "Ripper Street", starring Matthew MacFadyen ("Succession"; "Pride and Prejudice") and Jerome Flynn ("Game of Thrones") as the Detectives charged with trying to find Jack the Ripper.
Set on the streets of Whitechapel, the show's vision of East London feels similarly gritty to the streets of Birmingham in "Peaky Blinders". The chase to find Jack the Ripper haunts the audience, as well as the lead characters as they grow more desperate over the course of the show's four seasons. Balancing a 'crime of the week'-style format with deeper character-driven storytelling, "Ripper Street" is a critically-acclaimed BBC drama that is well worth your time.
