Masterpiece on PBS debuted its latest series from BBC on May 1. Titled, Ridley Road, the show transports viewers back to the summer of 1962. London is where its at. From swinging new music, fashion trends that are taking the youth by storm, and a spirit that revels in self-indulgent pleasure, you’d think political attitudes would have evolved.
Unfortunately, London isn’t simply hip, it’s also bubbling with antisemitic sentiments. So much so that fascism is alive and kicking and violence is escalating thanks to a growing movement of homegrown neo-Nazis. Unwilling to stay on the sidelines as her love, Jack (Tom Varey), stands up for what’s right, Vivien Epstein (Agnes O’Casey) joins the fight.
A hairdresser by trade, Vivien hasn’t been trained in spycraft and subterfuge, but she’s willing to do what she must for the Jewish-led antifascist group that’s infiltrating the British neo-Nazi community. It means, however, that she’ll have to get disturbingly close to Colin Jordan (Rory Kinnear), the leader of Britain’s post-World War II Nazi movement.
This hair-rising four part drama is based on Jo Bloom’s book of the same name. It’ll leave you rooting for Vivien and her mission but also unsettled as things become more dire in London. If Ridley Road sounds like a series you’d like to tune into, here’s its full release schedule on PBS.
