    Storyline

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Was entirely shot in the East End of London, mostly on original locations and mostly at night.
    • Goofs
      The Met don't use interview rooms with two way mirrors. That's an Americanism.
    • Alternate versions
      The BBC U.S. DVD release under the box title of "Whitechapel: The Ripper Returns" features the first three episodes with a running time of 136 minutes. The program on the disc gives the title as simply "Whitechapel."

    Awesome series!
    I have watched the entire series, all 4 at least three times... This show really started out well, with a copycat Jack The Ripper storyline... Series 2 and 3 were also really good. This series really exemplifies what a gritty, thought provoking UK series is... it exemplifies what a series should be even in the States...

    The only issue I have is that series 4 goes more paranormal than the previous 3 series... I believe that is what killed the show. I think if the writers stayed the course with investigating murders, and linking them to historical crimes... the show would still be on.

    I will sadly miss seeing new episodes, and will have to watch only the 4 series that are available...

    Great show!
