SummaryA Jack the Ripper copycat murderer may be on the loose in this British detective drama. Veteran DS Ray Miles (Phil Davis) is less than thrilled when formerly deskbound DI Chandler (Rupert Penry-Jones) joins the Whitechapel station as his new boss.

I'm pleased to report that creators/writers Ben Court and Caroline Ip and exec producer Sally Woodward Gentle have tweaked that gimmick ever so slightly, making Whitechapel fresh yet familiar in Season 2.
Whitechapel is like a British Criminal Minds, albeit with a much more appealing sense of macabre wit in its appreciation for the history of Grand Guignol.
They [Rupert Penry-Jones and Phil Davis] make an appealing upstairs-downstairs odd couple, even if the nifty concept--studying centuries-ago crimes to help solve contemporary cases--is starting to wear thin.
