"Hope" is the thing with feathers / That perches in the soul / And sings the tune without the words / And never stops - at all -

Via bandofbrothels tumblr. This is from Ripper Street, in case you were wondering (episode five). This show has, until this point, been generally way too gross...but episode five, this is PURPLE PROSE GOLD, people. I kept alternating between laughing so hard I was crying and wanting to give Drake (see above) a big hug as his DREAMS WERE CRUSHED. Call me Drake...I'll treat your poetic soul with the respect it deserves. PROMISE. *wink* (Thanks to Tasha and Gina for making this collective viewing experience oh-so-memorable on Facebook. Ripper Street Painted Ladies FOREVER.)

Ripper Street previews

I was talking to a friend recently about Matthew Macfadyen's upcoming BBC America drama, Ripper Street -- and since she hadn't heard of it yet I thought I'd share the previews I've seen here.

Trailer Playlist (3 videos):



I gotta say, Matthew looks to be on fire in this show. Also, the third trailer set to a Jay-Z/Kanye West song kinda cracks me up. *wink*
