Now, let's talk about this "Ripple Street" seriously, the name is actually enough to catch the eye, not to mention that the first episode of the opening is so powerful, there are many bloody, dark, suspenseful, action, pornography, and other things, this kind of battle If you put it in Hollywood, it is estimated that the big production will definitely not run, but this is the BBC. When the above keywords appear at the same time and the suffix is BBC, you must know that this must be a good detective drama.
First of all, let's analyze why it is called "Ripple Street", a name that seems to be very standard but is actually suspected of being a cottage? In addition to the fact that the background of the story is set a year after the famous Jack the Ripper, and the first story is set to have a vague relationship with Jack the Ripper, it is more important to simply explain the background of the story. , First of all, the story takes place near Whitechapel in the East End of London. During the Victorian period, most of the residents here were immigrants from Eastern Europe, Russia and Jews. Their income was meager, and most of them were engaged in occupations that were included in the crackdown. It's been a land of crime and gangs for a long time, and that's pretty much the story of the second episode. Secondly, after the appearance of Jack the Ripper, the London police intends to transform and manage this area, not only increasing the police force but also adding a team similar to the current police assistance (also explained in this second episode), the starring Mr. Matthew In this context, a visionary detective (or director) was played, and he was inspired by the Ripper incident to start to value the important role of forensics in detectives, so this series spent a lot of space on it. Although it seems that there is no CSI to express the knowledge related to forensic science, but considering that this happened in the last century, it is already very valuable. It can be seen from this point that an excellent detective always attaches great importance to forensic medicine. Didn't Mr. Holmes, who was basically the same age as Reid, also whipped the corpse at St. Bartholomew's Hospital? At least, the BBC or the entire British drama production unit is so unwavering.
Secondly, from the explanation of the story background, it can be seen that the difference between "Ripple Street" and other British detective dramas is that it focuses more on the progress of the case-solving process rather than the analysis of the case-solving process, so in this drama we watch There is less than the description of the suspect in most British crime dramas, and no foreshadowing of the crime scene, let alone the interlocking case reasoning. This is because of the restrictions on the story in the background setting. As a result, it is impossible to analyze as CSI, and the protagonist does not know how to deduce; on the other hand, such a story frame can be well hidden, focusing the audience's attention on the plot rather than the details, which can be avoided. Compared with other plays of the same type, after all, from a distance, the famous Sherlock Holmes lived in the contemporary 221 Baker Street (I don't understand why Red didn't go to him?), and from a close distance, the BBC Not to mention the fact that the two previous "Sherlock" films are famous, "Whitechapel Massacre" in the same place will be compared to this show to some extent, so the adjustment of the story frame makes this show really interesting a lot of. It can also be seen from here that the BBC is indeed full of experts.
Next, let's talk about the content of the story. In fact, you can know after reading the above content, so that the storyline under the background setting will naturally not be complicated. The current two episodes can be simply summed up as follows: the first episode is about the story of the copycat Ripper, and the second episode is about the murder caused by stealing the money from the wife's private house. Although the story is simple, it is not without points to watch, the first episode about the birth of pornography (though not necessarily true), and the fact that there was already such a level of parody at the end of the nineteenth century; The forensic part of the episode is also remarkable; the gang (especially the gang boss) is portrayed in the second episode; the description of the process of finding lost property by the fake forensic doctor can be seen from the BBC's consistently well-made tradition; in addition , every episode of this drama has a finishing touch (this is very similar to the American drama Criminal Minds), in the first episode I will no longer let this obsession make us blind, and in the second episode, saving one person is saving the world . All are good catchphrases. But the biggest suspense of this drama is probably the setting of the past of the fake forensic doctor and the girlfriend in the nightclub. Just wait for how this suspense will be revealed!
Finally, let’s talk about actors. There is no doubt that BBC’s productions will be starred by big stars, and even big stars will gather. I especially like British dramas, because British actors don’t seem to be ashamed of the small screen as American actors do, and they never tire of it. Acting in a TV series, Matthew Macfadyen in this play is familiar to everyone because of Mr. Darcy in "Pride and Prejudice". Although the show has been blessed, it does not affect the viewing. The others are also regulars in British dramas , so the overall lineup is still relatively weighty.
Finally, let’s talk about the corners that are not very related to the plot. Regarding the basic love, it would be strange if there is no such thing in the British drama. The most obvious thing is that the detective has a deep love for the pseudo-forensic doctor, but this is relative to the "Sherlock" can be ignored; about erotica, it is indeed a little inappropriate for children, but the scale of British dramas has always been broad, so please automatically mosaic; for the rest, just watch the drama by yourself!
