The Ripper' Poster
For five years, from 1975 to 1980, the Yorkshire Ripper murders cast a dark shadow over the lives of women in the North of England. 13 women were dead and the police seemed incapable of catching the killer. No one felt safe – and every man was a suspect.

Holy fuck, these policemen were such fucking useless horde of retards that I don't know whether I'm supposed to laugh or cry. As they said themselves, they had thousands, maybe even hundreds people working on this case after the murder number 3 out of 13. And instead of placing these people on the streets, they walked on all four, not even 5 centimeters apart, examining the grass for fucking five and a half years. What a fucking disgrace for a police. I rate it "Kill 13 women and you'll walk free got years, have a joint in your pocket and they'll

A true crime series that dives into the infamous case of the Yorkshire Ripper. The series provides a detailed account of the events that transpired during the investigation, along with interviews of the key figures involved in the case. The interviews with the victims' families, survivors, and law enforcement officers are powerful and emotional, shedding light on the impact of the murders on the community.

A bit of a dragged out and bias limited series on the Yorkshire Ripper (serial killer in UK in the 70's who killed 13+ women, mostly prostitutes) but all in all chilling and informative. Would have been better to get a better feel for the killer himself and why he did what he did like most of the other serial killer documentaries, but instead it focused too much on the politics of it all surround the bias police had that made it so long to catch him and the women's rights movement.

[Netflix] An interesting approach to the context of the crimes of a serial killer and the failure of an investigation that, in some way, was infected by the same macho motivation. This shows that in many cases police inefficiency has contributed to building the mythology of some murderers. A sexist murderer investigated by sexist detectives.

Terrible documentary and in my opinion, it's not clear what's its intention. It seems like they wanted to follow the line of the culture of violence against women, but it is a very poorly portrayed message.

Four episodes are too few to embrace different layers of the case the way it did. More
