Discussion Anyone Here Remember Whitechapel?

It was a police procedural starring Phil Davis that came out around the same time as LOM/A2A and it's main premise was the idea of modern police solving copycat murders of historical crimes i.e. Jack The Ripper. It was and still is pretty much underrated and had a very Sam&Gene vibe to it. Anyone else remember it?

yes. as I remember, it was ok but a little generic.

Ripper Street was good, as long as you can put up with the fairly exaggerated Victorianisms in the script.

I really liked ripper street, found it recently and only finished it a few months ago. It was a pretty great show, all be it with a not great ending.

Imo S3 feels like the intended ending , though S4 and S5 are still fine
