If crime drama and historical commentary are your type, Ripper Street Season 2 is perfect. In the second season of this crime series, we see deep into the character arcs of the detectives and people living in Whitechapel. Although crimes continue to happen, the season doesn’t just stay on the path of serial killing and we see multiple complicated cases being assigned to the H Division. Reid visits Chinatown in an attempt to investigate the assault of a fellow policeman, but he also has to investigate the murder of a young girl in The London Hospital, which further leads him to a shadowy neighborhood of freakshows.

Ripper Street Season 2 synopsis is as follows:
“A drama set in the East End of London in 1889, during the aftermath of the “Ripper” murders. The action centers around the notorious H Division – the police precinct from hell – which is charged with keeping order in the chaotic streets of Whitechapel. Ripper Street explores the lives of characters trying to recover from the Ripper’s legacy, from crimes that have not only irretrievably altered their lives, but the very fabric of their city. At the drama’s heart, our detectives try to bring a little light into the dark world they inhabit.”
