Whilst the series maybe loyal to its namesake predecessor that starred Roddy Mcdowall it fades rapidly to keep an interest

The producers forget that it is the whole Victorian era that holds the interest for Jack not the murders themselves, there have been more numerous and grisly killings in our own time, so it was never just that which fascinated people.This series took the wrong course from the beginning not enough footage of Victorian England it could have been so much better if it were not for the sentimentality to run like a typical soap, and on that level it even fails, there is more conjuring of visual, drama and historical accuracy presented in my own work here - https://www.amazon.co.uk/Dichotomy-Two-Jacks-tale-Ripper- ebook/dp/B00PHM2VN0/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1496135182&sr=8- 1&keywords=the+dichotomy+of+two+jacks if the producers have ambition for doing something better on this subject.
