About this show

April 1889 - six months since the last Jack the Ripper killing, East London is emerging into a fragile peace, hopeful that this killer's reign of terror might at last have run its course. Nowhere is this truer than in the corridors of H Division, the police precinct charged with keeping order in the chaos of Whitechapel. Its men hunted this maniac; and failed to find him. Starring Matthew Macfadyen, Jerome Flynn and Adam Rothenberg.

LOVE this show. Just love it. If you haven't seen it yet, you're missing out. Hmm, am wondering why no season 3 episodes ... ?

Series one took about 2/3 episodes to get into the swing of things. Great storylines, and bring on season two.
