The Ripper

2020 · 1 season

A sober, unsettling true-crime recounting that lingers on fear and institutional failure more than on shock.

Genres
Documentary, Crime
Tagline
Once upon a time in Yorkshire...
Overview
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.
