I'm from the states but I have seen many series from across the pond. My personal favorite is Life On Mars which is partially why I guess i love Whitechapel, they do have similarities. A straight edge by the book cop having to work with old school kind of frat guy group of cops and despite the huge differences they are an effective team. Of course there's no time travel here but be forewarned the cases are grim stuff starting with a Jack the Ripper copycat, and follows with other kind of murders that are based on others in the distant past, even if that's the far fetched part that every case is a copycat of sorts but that is the only flaw. The atmosphere and music are top notch and tte characters are all likeable and the cases very interesting and twisted and they move fast. So if you like dark crime dramas no matter where you are from watch this great show. Unfortunately it got canceled after only 4 seasons and with the last one showed that the series was going to head into a possible supernatural direction, something I really wanted, it unfortunately ends there after the last case is solved.
