Wow, I'm surprised the good press it's getting on here as it did pick up some criticism for levering in all famous gothic horror characters into one show.

I hasten to add, that's not MY view, I really enjoyed it and I'm looking to see how it pans out :-)

Certainly was MY view, but the first episode won me over. Not my perfect show, mind you, but quite enjoyable, and clash of monsters had enough differences, vampires almost don't deserve a capital V, made it all exotic. I really think the hints on Eva Green's character secrets can only please me if they're all red herrings, mind you.

Still, I shall cringe until the show from episode two on is on a venue I can access.

Thought the first episode was great! Loads of potential! The last line of the episode could have been predicted from the moment the character appeared on the screen - but I still cheered when he said it!

Watched it last night, it seems promising however was slow in developing, I owuld ahve liked a bit more background to the characters etc but can see that coming over the next few episodes. Will continue watching but just didnt twig for me.

I also noted that the trend for lots of shaggins seems to be the order of the day

as with Game of Thrones and Vikings

Anybody else also think that Josh Hartnet's character may actually be ' Jack'?
LOTs of speculation at the time that he was part of a wild west show or an 'Outdoors American'?
I also thought that his shooting skills were somewhat 'over egged' in the first episode and at no point did he have a knife.... Misdirection?

Watched first episode last night - very very good. Not sure if the episodes across the water are ahead of us here in the UK so remember to keep it spoiler-free....... anyway in episode 8......

Just you you blithering loon. He's clearly an (victoria) american werewolf in Londinium.

The first two epsisodes were great - lots of character and a story that was driving the characters.

In episode 3 and 4 I have found myself thinking why am I watching this. The story moves forward so slowly and for me the character of Dorian Grey is just fillings. The scenes that move the story forward takes around 5 or so minutes per episode.

I will still continue to watch, but Ripper Street IMO is a better show.

*******************Minor Spoiler************************
Not a huge deal or anything but was anyone else let down by the look of a certain doctors creation? I think they could have done a little better with that.

Are we more impressed yet?

Oh, and the two are automatically mutually exclusive?

My wife keeps saying the same thing, unless they have a really good back story I hope not. I'm not sure exactly why it just seems lazy to me. Dorian Gray is getting a bit tiresome (show up, be cryptic, hump, repeat) I would really like to see where his loyalties lie.
