      Calvin Wilson St. Louis Post-Dispatch What starts out as a tale of serial killing quickly becomes even more sinister and complex. Apr 8, 2010 Full Review Chris Vognar Dallas Morning News This is a hugely ambitious piece of work that packs a cumulative wallop when it's all over.

      Ola G 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. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 04/23/23 Full Review richard p 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. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review andrey k Absolutely beautiful and outstanding trilogy of films about corruption, murders, child-molesting and other horrendous crimes that being held in the city of Yorkshire. The trilogy is a beautiful neo-noir, bleak ,pessimistic and sinisterly dark, as the world it describes. One of the best crime films ever made. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Generally overrated by the critics, this is a moody, uneven and sometimes confusing British noir. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Been Waiting Years To Watch This A Great 3 Part Movie...! Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/15/23 Full Review Audience Member This trilogy of films, made by different directors (Julian Jarrold, James Marsh and Anand Tucker) follows an investigation of a series of abductions and murders of children in Yorkshire through the 1970-80s and is as fiercely brilliant telling of how corruption stalks the corridors of power as you will ever see. The ending is something you may never forget. They are riveting, creepy and will leave you feeling you need to go and wash. Absolutely essential viewing. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
