Jack the Ripper can be regarded as one of the most famous serial killers in the UK. There are various versions of his true identity. Such a mysterious guy will naturally be taken out by the entertainment industry and fired over and over again. Movies about him There are a large number of TV shows, and even appeared in Detective Conan, and in the fantasy American drama Sanctuary, he is a superhuman who has lived to the present and can travel in space.
Whitechapel is a miniseries about Jack the Ripper, but the show doesn't try to solve the mystery of Jack the Ripper or tell the audience who Jack the Ripper was. Murderers, and how modern-day detectives can find the real murderer.
The story begins when a promising detective is transferred to the homicide squad. The young detective believes that the murders that took place in Whitechapel were done by Jack the Ripper impersonators. So I think, after all, Jack the Ripper is not a popular topic, but the second murder happened...
Because it is a mini-series, it only tells about one case, so it can basically be seen as a movie. This drama is very delicately shot, The pictures are very cold, the scenes are dark, it has such a British style and it matches the theme very well, and there is also a cool beauty in the use of the lens, for example, for the embodiment of crime scenes and murder scenes, the three in the film are. The main characters are a young detective, a seasoned senior and a researcher of Jack the Ripper, all three characters are well-crafted, the detective is meticulous, everything on the table must be neatly organized, and it is this meticulousness An almost obsessive-compulsive personality allows him to find connections between cases. The senior looked down on this new Leng Touqing at first, but gradually understood and accepted him. This senior is like an old-school detective, casual and full of jokes, but very reliable, although he did not find imitators clues, but able to support the young detective well. The researcher of Jack the Ripper is a typical nerd, wearing glasses, fat, and having some difficulty communicating with people, but he knows everything about Jack very well. These three hold up the show.
I won't say much about the plot. The ending of this drama, including the ending of the imitator, is still very suspenseful. In short, if there is so much time, it is still a mini-series worth watching.
