Anyone watched it yet? Any sign of Albert? Or even a mention?

I have just watched the first 2 episodes. Oh my goodness! I'm not sure I have words yet. If you thought ep 8 of series 2 was mind-blowing tv, then episode 2 of series 3 surpasses that!

There are still another 6 episodes and these first two have shown that the writers are capable of a multitude of twists and shocks! So anything could happen! I'm not ruling anything out yet.

It would be amazing Rosie, but I am not holding out hope. However...

 

Spoiler

After the end of episode 2, what will happen to Reid? Go on the run? Maybe he will join Flight! *dreams*

Dzasti, it was SO exciting to see Damien on an already quality drama, the only downside being that the three lead format is unlikely to change and most of the other characters are therefore not seen much - perhaps Damien's talents were under used. I see him very much as a leading man.

That's true Rosie, and of course he was magnificent! Agree that Ripper Street did introduce him to a hew audience but his career has not stopped taking off from the beginning (probably why he landed the Ripper Street role). I do still see Damien as leading man material though

Damien's character suffered a little by being directly compared to the much loved (rightly) Hobbs, and for existing fans, Flight betraying the characters they know and love did not make him a particularly popular character, which perhaps blinded the established audience from seeing the intrigue and ambiguity of Flight, and that he is far from being simply a 'baddie'! and as Damien himself said, there were lots of possibilities still open for Flight, it feels wrong to cut that potential short - it didn't feel like the end of his story at the end of series 2 more like the beginning!

Plus - it feels a little churlish to say this, but the Damien fandom were a part of the campaign to get Ripper Street back, so it would feel right that at least a Flight mention could be written in the the new episodes!

Haven't actually watched any of the new series yet (just realised that litereally the only thing I've seen on tv in the last 2 weeks or so is Dr Who....haven't seen a single christmas ad yet this year!) but, considering how busy Damien has been this year - and how many goodies we've got to look forward to (and I agree completely that Damien should be playing leads!) - I'm surprised by just how disappointed I am that it seems there won't be any Flight in this series.  

We probably were more focussed on (obsessed by!) Flight than most of the RS audience, but I totally agree with every word from that metro article.  Trying to look past the fact that it was Damien........to create a character as complex as Flight and not give that character a chance to develop further seems  senseless - and, even acknowledging that fact that it was Damien, it certainly could be argued that he was just starting to get really interesting when s2 ended!  And however unpopular or otherwise Flight might have been...surely Shine was the most excellent villian?   I still find it unfathomable that s2 would end as it did without there being some sort of follow-up.....I still can't believe that there won't be any resolution to their stories even though I can't see how Damien could have possibly been able to spend any time filming...... 

 

Does any one know where I can watch it with subtitles? There are no subtitles as for now. I coudn't find even english, and I need them.

I need subtitles (polish, english, french or spanish) because a few years ago I become deaf. American movies or tv programmes have subtitles very quickly with other it's no so good. And "Suspects" have only english ones (good there are subtitles to this series!!!)

Dzasti, I'm sorry I only just saw your reply, and for misunderstanding your request for subtitles. it is unacceptable that Amazon do not provide a subtitled service for hearing impaired customers! So freaking wrong. This article suggests they have been made aware of the issue and at least offers a little hope: www.techdigest.tv/2014/05/comedian_mark_t.html
I really hope one of the many subtitle websites puts up subtitles for the new series soon.

Rosie, yes watched this afternoon.

Still no subtitles :( I don't like it :(
I lost my hearing, but I won the battle with cancer. And I lost my hearing in good times ;) where thre are moblile phones with messages, movies and tv programmes with subtitles, computers, internet etc. ;)

I am reminded that Flight would have been there if things were how the Molonians want it to be!

 

Not only Molonians though!  I have read several tweets about this.

Well, I've finally watched the first 3 episodes....and I've got to say that this series is the best yet!  (yes...even though there isn't any Damo!)  My critism of the first 2 series is that they were slow to get started....with more emphasis on the storylines for each individual episode....and then the last few eps took off and the series ended just as it was taking off.  So far this series has set up a good strong series arc which is really pulling me in.....can't wait to see the next ep.  But yes - just think how mindblowingly fantastic it would be with Flight in there too....
