About this show

Rupert Penry-Jones stars as DI Joseph Chandler, a detective hunting a modern-day serial killer. In his first big murder investigation, the man Chandler was after was no ordinary killer; he was copying the murders committed by Jack the Ripper in the 1880s. With the help of self-proclaimed Ripperologist Edward Buchan and DS Ray Miles, Chandler sought to catch the killer before he emulated Jack's final kill, never to be seen again. Rupert Penry-Jones stars as DI Joseph Chandler, a detective hunting a modern-day serial killer.

The show is brilliantly written and the writers really do their research and the casting is spot on with Rupert penry Jones and Phil Davis and Steve pemberton, it's just a shame their is not going to be series 5 of Whitechapel.
