MASTERPIECE presents a riveting drama set in this colorful but tumultuous time on Ridley Road , based on Jo Bloom's acclaimed novel and airing in four parts, Sundays, May 1 - May 22, on PBS.
I am really enjoying this high production value Masterpiece on PBS drama . A stellar cast brings the turmoil of 1960s London to life .Ridley Road is an action thriller as well as a period piece, with chases, fights and romance to go with its political context .It is beautifully crafted, weaving in archive footage, making it look as if Vivien is actually in Sixties London.
Ridley Road is a thrilling, true-to-life spy mini-series set in 1960s London as Britain's far-right tries to make inroads through action against Jews.
Inspired by true events, "Ridley Road" stars newcomer Agnes O'Casey as Vivien Epstein, a young Jewish hairdresser who fits right into 1962 London's mod scene, while secretly infiltrating the British neo-Nazi hierarchy on behalf of Jewish antifascists.
Beyond its relentless historical dimension, this thrilling series features a remarkable young actress Agnes O'Casey , perfect in her role as a woman-double role The young actress literally bursts the screen in this new series . In short, don't miss this very successful spy thriller! This is great T. V.programming at least the extended episode one. With only four episodes this mini-series is very watchable.
