Show Summary

  • Returning Series
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.''''In the second story, the team is on the trail of a serial killer who appears to be targeting people who had crossed the Kray twins, gangsters who dominated the East End in the 1950s and 1960s.moreless

    Revisiting Whitechapel Will Give you Chills

    By Heather Hughes, Oct 09, 2010

    Whitechapel's not the same as it used to be. Or at least that's what we're told when the second season starts. There hasn't been an interesting murder in months and the detectives we once loved for their pro-active, ambitious approach… more

    So Rupert Penry-Jones waves goodbye to the world of Spooks and swaps it for the staple of British television drama: the detective show. His first assignment, tonight on ITV1, was Whitechapel. A woman is found butchered in the East End… more

    While the premise might not be the most original one ever (a Jack the Ripper copycat - not exactly the most ground-breaking of story lines), its the execution that made "Whitechapel" one of the most fascinating British crime dramas of the past few years: a fast-paced, strongly atmospheric thriller with an intriguing set of characters, well-acted and succeeding to keep the suspense at a nail-biting level. It's the kind of show where I wish we'd get more than just a three-part mini-series. Forget the Jack-the-Ripper thing; a full TV series with this team solving regular cases would be rewarding on its own. Instead, "Law & Order: UK" takes its spot with what, judging by episode one, promises to be a less than exciting series.moreless

  • Here we go again - all full of potential and lacking on it's originality.

    Whitechapel well seems like a rehash of an old idea but put together very well but the conflict between upper and lower ranks was seen-it-all-before boring. Do the police really argue as much as they are shown to do in cop shows? If this is the case the crime clear-up rate would be zero in this
    country. On this occasion the policemen did seem to be even more stupid than usual. You have a serial killer murdering victims in the precise way
    and in the same places as Jack the Ripper. The officer-in-charge is given a book by a Ripperologist (?!) laying out the hows, whys and wherefores of
    each murder. The officer-in-charge reads the book, seems to be convinced by what he learns, but still doesn't manage to get to the scene of the second
    murder in time to save the victim. Like most of today's "remakes" and old plotlines are being for what it is their pulp horror value only and not much else one would have hoped that it would be a little more "gothic" but with the police eating Dona Kebabs and take away Chinese in the street and drinking beer at the same time it all
    seems very odd.

    The atmosphere of the episode was good, but I found it very disappointing.moreless
