I gave up after 15 minutes. Couldn't understand a word and the tv's volume had to be turned right up. Hugely disappointed in this - I thought the BBC had learned its lesson after the initial complaints about the mumbling in Ripper Street

We enjoyed it so will watch the other two episodes. It was very difficult to understand and we turned the volume up, thinking the problem was with our hearing. We thought the last thirty minutes easier to understand, maybe because we'd got used to the Cornish accents. It is such an excellent story with an unexpected twist at the end so we must persevere.
Enjoyed it in the main-a bit too much 'wandering' from the heroine that brought nothing to the story but on the whole well pleased. Yes it was dark and dismal indoors-it would have been at that time. The accents?-who is to say they were wrong? no one on here alive at the period depicted. Sean Harris and Joanne Whalley excellent IMO.

An unusually disappointing production for the BBC. The R/Times trailered "savagely beautiful" Bodmin Moor but so many scenes are dark that you wonder why the otherwise astute heroine wanders alone in this isolated, unlit, intimidating landscape inhabited by some many dodgy characters who know their way about, whereas she is a stranger who needs rescued when she stumbles into marshes, of which there are plenty. There's enough skulduggery at the inn without going looking for more.
