Whitechapel - Season 1
The streets of Whitechapel are awash with blood. A murderer stalks the night, picking off vulnerable women and leaving them brutally butchered. The locals live in fear and the police remain clueless, with no motive, no evidence and no hope of catching this barbaric killer. A fast-tracked inspector, a hardened detective sergeant, and an expert in historical homicides investigate modern crimes with connections to the past in the Whitechapel district of London.

Whitechapel is far more entertaining than it has any right to be.

Whitechapel is a show that relishes these sorts of easily drawn high-and-low dichotomies, and yet flourishes as a diverting and atmospheric crime drama despite them
October 26, 2011
Whitechapel can be enjoyed for what it is - an excuse to take another bloody stroll down memory lane.

Accents, creepy historical crimes, that handsome English actor who always plays princes and posh boys, that less handsome English actor who always plays taxi drivers and oiks. What's not to like?

Whitechapel defies the odds, rising above its cliches with solid writing, taut direction, evocative cinematography and great performances.
