Die Rezensionen bei A-mazon überschlagen sich und sind voll des Lobs, von 221 Einträgen momentan unter Stafel 3 sind 216 mal fünf Sterne, dreimal vier Sterne, und zwei, die weniger gaben, einzig aus dem Grund weil keine Untertitel verfügbar gemacht wurden.
Hier Auszüge:
Zitat:
BAFTA/Golden Globes etc should recognise the cast, writers, directors, costume makers, set designers et al for this beautifully made show. The BBC have been proved wrong in cancelling it....and
Amazon should be praised for picking it up........my only criticism is not letting people in all countries view it. thus driving them to watch inferior quality pirated copies.
Every single episode of the new series so far has been gripping....my heart has been broken many times already and sure more to come.
If there was justice in this world, Matthew Macfadyen would be more recognised for his work than the likes of Cumberbatch etc....it's not just delivery of lines that matter, he acts with his eyes. Beautifully done.
Zitat:
There are no words that can possibly describe this episode, and the emotions that it has invoked in me. This is a mere show. It shouldn't affect me like this, but I'll be damned if this show (and this episode in particular) didn't have me in tears more than once, gasping aloud on multiple occasions, and absently clutching at my aching chest at others. Matthew Macfadyen - how can I ever express how utterly gifted this man is? The subtle, yet splendidly well-displayed emotions this man can produce...It's astonishing.
Mesmerizing. Brilliant. Astonishing. Heart wrenching.
und noch etwas, das vielleicht mehr Gewicht noch hat, nämlich ein Tweet von John Heffernan:

When I read ep4 of@ripper_street I knew Matthew Macfadyen would be pretty special. Just watched it&he deserves every award going. Stunning.
