El destripador de Yorkshire

A concise and well put together documentary. The doc style lent it self well to this story with very good use of archival footage. The people interviewed were relevant to the cases and added good insight into the police work and political climate.

There was a bit much repetition. As often with Netflix docu-series, a documentary of an hour and a half would have been more suitable. But they had a lot of involved people to talk to, which adds value, so perhaps more time was needed. The feminism was understandable and necessary at first because of the way the first victims were presented. However in the third and fourth episode they went too far. Conclusions about society and men were drawn, from murders that were committed by one insane individual.

This is a very powerful, very factual documentary series detailing the five year killing spree of The Yorkshire Ripper, Peter Sutcliffe.

Lots of interviews, new and old, you will hear from The Police, Journalists, families, and more shockingly, survivors.

It's very well produced, and doesn't at any point jar, it focuses on the case, but also gives you glimpses of life at the time for people.

It's hard to imagine how he got away with his crimes for so long, the final part gives a good insight into the actual investigation.

The only thing I would have liked a little more information on, was just how he was caught, what exactly happened etc.

Chilling, 8/10.

Very informative and detailed show with Netflix's typical high standard but it does get derailed by a diatribe in episode 3 that took away from the following of the criminal case

New 4 part documentary on Netflix which has frustratingly accurate footage of the police's disregard for the victims. It was their arrogance which blinkered their investigation for far too long before he was finally caught. Not by the extent of their police work, but by officers arresting him for a completely unrelated offence, which the bigwigs happily took the praise for. Although I've seen something very similar before, it's still a very worthy watch.
