    8/10
    A very well made series.
    This is a very powerful, very factual documentary series detailing the five year killing spree of The Yorkshire Ripper, Peter Sutcliffe.

    Lots of interviews, new and old, you will hear from The Police, Journalists, families, and more shockingly, survivors.

    It's very well produced, and doesn't at any point jar, it focuses on the case, but also gives you glimpses of life at the time for people.

    It's hard to imagine how he got away with his crimes for so long, the final part gives a good insight into the actual investigation.

    The only thing I would have liked a little more information on, was just how he was caught, what exactly happened etc.

    Chilling, 8/10.
