Wish they wouldn't have canceled it, loved the few episodes that were on and was so sad when it never came back and I heard it was canceled. Please bring back!!

The producers forget that it is the whole Victorian era that holds the interest for Jack not the murders themselves, there have been more numerous and grisly killings in our own time, so it was never just that which fascinated people.This series took the wrong course from the beginning not enough footage of Victorian England it could have been so much better if it were not for the sentimentality to run like a typical soap, and on that level it even fails, there is more conjuring of visual, drama and historical accuracy presented in my own work here - https://www.amazon.co.uk/Dichotomy-Two-Jacks-tale-Ripper- ebook/dp/B00PHM2VN0/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1496135182&sr=8- 1&keywords=the+dichotomy+of+two+jacks if the producers have ambition for doing something better on this subject.

I know it was canceled already. I don't really care why but my vote would be "just plain stupid." It starts off sort of OK with a short 1893 setting full of 1893 people then moves to modern day. The characters are likable and pretty like all TV people. The plot begins to twist which is also something to applaud. The bad guy is even believable and convincing. Then comes the part where this New Yorker makes some good moves to reconcile the dilemma of the moment...and the writers all quit leaving the show to be decided by talent-less executive types. I just couldn't keep watching because I knew there would be one stupid move after another to keep the story on course. Write it better. Come up with better ideas instead of the cliché. If you like simple, like King of Queens simple then this would be a fair show. 7.9. I don't think so.***SPOILERS HERE BELOW*** Our heroine, Jane clocks the ripper with a candy bowl "once". Sneaks past his moaning body with the damsel in peril and heads out the door only to be re-captured in less than 10 seconds. Anyone else would have beaten the schmuck with the bowl at least until he stopped moaning and moving. Then a much more interesting thing could have happened like when the police arrive his body was missing. Another dilemma could be set up and even more suspense added making a better show. One thing, why did he turn his back on her in the first place? He is from 1893 where women were window dressing that posed no threat.

I just binge-watched the first four episodes, and as a fan of the 1979 film of the same title, I think it was very well done.Yes, there are issues with some things (which, mind you were also prevalent in the film version!), so to the nay-sayers I say wait and allow this series to grow and explain them! Of course, with some of the new characters introduced in the series verses the film, there is a whole new layer of intrigue! I for one am a fan of time-travel films and shows from the 40+ year old "Dr Who" to the new show "Timeless", "12 Monkeys", "Making History" and others.Sit back, watch and enjoy -- I think it's going to be a fun ride!
