Has anyone been watching "Ripper Street"?

I finally gave it a try and I'm so hooked now. The writing is superb.

I watched it a while ago and liked it for the most part. I think in the last couple of seasons it got a little off track, kind of more unbelievable plot lines. But it was still enjoyable.

Matthew Macfadyen who played Reid is now part of the Succession cast, which I think is based on the Rupert Murdoch family. I have not watched any of that, but it was up for many emmys, so I'm assuming it's popular. I think he was up for an award himself. He's good in anything he's done, imo.

Something changed from the first three. So I can't seem to make a marathon of the series now. But I really liked those early seasons.
