Synopsis

TV Series (2009-2010 / 2012-Actuality). 3 seasons. 12 episodes. Set in 2008 and against the hugely atmospheric background of Whitechapel, London, a modern police force are fighting an old adversary. A series of bloody, tragic and impossible crimes would suggest someone is carrying out copycat Jack the Ripper murders. The murders are investigated by our three unlikely heroes: Chandler (Penry-Jones), a fast-tracked, media savvy DI on his first big murder case; Miles (Phil Davis), nearing retirement, a front-line, hard-bitten DS, and Buchan, the eccentrically brilliant Jack the Ripper tour guide.

Critics' reviews

"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?"

June Thomas: Slate
"It's compelling to watch these disparate men clash and collaborate, even as the suspense level quickly ratchets up with the pursuit of the Ripper copycat."

Common Sense Media
"If this clich is accurate, clearly police academy trainees on both sides of the Atlantic need to be exposed to a few more corpses before they graduate."

Neil Genzlinger: The New York Times
"'Whitechapel' can be enjoyed for what it is - an excuse to take another bloody stroll down memory lane."

Brian Lowry: Variety
"The mystery is perhaps a too time-honored classic, and there's little subtlety to the shock-cut gruesomeness"

Matt Roush: TV Guide
"Whitechapel is far more entertaining than it has any right to be."

Meredith Blake: AV Club
"'Whitechapel' may not reinvent the police procedural, but it's great fun."

David Wiegand: SFgate
