As melodrama it\u2019s enjoyable, though ultimately a too-predictable escapade in the ongoing fight between good and evil.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> <\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><em>Ridley Road<\/em>, Limited Series Premiere, Sunday, May 1,<\/b><b> 9\/8c, <\/b><b>PBS <\/b><b>(check local listings at pbs.org)<\/b><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
