Interesting Stuff. Sordid and Sinfull, somewhat illuminating.

I am a sucker for historical drama, particulalry when its the sordid history of sorts. This one though particulalry fascinating due to it being about the so-called first policemen! I love police drama.
So my two fave genres collide.
Reminds me of from Hell or Sherlock Holmes.
The fact that its is a british budget so not hollywood SE its very well done. A little OTT and not entirely factual, but thoroughly enjoyable and educational.
Deffinitely raising some points for debate and stting one thinking.
I was impressed by the filming of the streets in that 3D dark style, the general gothic- feel of depressingly, stiffling despair is fantastic. A great atmosphere!
The two brothers are great actors and fascinating figures representing morality and justice, one anglican one catholic, one blind one seeing. Great contrasts and charachterisation.
I did not like all of it or find it perfect but the faults where not particulalry jarring and one could overlook them.
Overall very good.
No action and holywood style overdoing, so dont search for that!!!
