Matt Roush says...
Against a backdrop of 1970s economic and social turmoil in the U.K., a gripping seven-part true-crime docudrama depicts the years-long hunt for the Yorkshire Ripper, who initially targets vulnerable sex workers. Toby Jones (from Masterpiece’s upcoming Mr Bates vs the Post Office) and The Walking Dead’s David Morrisey star as police officers leading the frustrating investigation as the body count rises. Launching with two episodes, which also dramatize the desperate circumstances that put women on the streets and into this elusive killer’s grasp.
