YOCHABEL S @Bella76 Oct 19 Fantastic acting, prepare yourself to feel a lot of anger and compassion it is triggering a saga all about power and a vulnerable community where the most innocent people are the ones to be blamed. See more Matthew H Aug 31 It was slow to start but last 20 minutes was great Director definitely has a hands and balls fetish See more Louise M Aug 30 I wanted to write this review because I’d read such positive reviews about this series. There are a lot of positives (such as great acting), but it is so unremittingly grim and violent that it becomes ridiculous and boring. The only female characters are either insane or are there for the sexual benefit of the male characters (or both). It could’ve been great, but I found it disappointing. Perhaps that was due to the source material. See more Jason W Aug 4 Complex and grim with great performances See more Ola G @Ollie1972 04/08/2023 The events take place between 1974 and 1983 and have as their background the Yorkshire Ripper killings. Set in Leeds, Bradford, Halifax, and the rest of West Yorkshire, both books and films follow several recurring fictional characters through a bleak and violent world of police corruption and organised crime. The novels and television versions blend elements of fact, fiction, and conspiracy theory into a confection dubbed "Yorkshire Noir" by some critics. They offer a chronologically fractured narrative and do not present neat resolutions. The name of the series is a reference to the murders and to their location, the historic county of Yorkshire being traditionally divided into three areas known as ridings.(via Wikipedia) This British crime drama limited series based on the book series of the same name by David Peace has a great production value, strong ensemble cast, a too stretched storyline intertwining the real Yorkshire Ripper with a fictionalized parallel story with a priest as the assailant. See more richard p 11/28/2022 Harsh, gritty, complex and violent stories that are superbly acted. The quality of these dramas outshines anything I've watched in the genres in the US, where I've lived for 20 years. On par with the now dated but excellent Prime Suspect. The stories may be too relentless for some; Hallmark Channel they are not. See more Read all reviews
