NRSeason 1
The hunt is on for the world's most infamous diabolical murderer.
Synopsis
Jack the Ripper (1988), Season 1 — a two-part crime drama you can watch online on iFILM, with Michael Caine as the inspector running Victorian London's most notorious manhunt.
Autumn 1888. In the crowded lanes of Whitechapel, women are found butchered, and the press has already given the killer his name. Inspector Abberline inherits a case with no evidence, no witnesses, and a city sliding into panic. The miniseries leans on the investigation rather than the gore: false leads, pressure from above, theories that point now at a slaughterman, now at someone shielded by wealth and rank. Every door the detective knocks on stays shut.
Made for the centenary of the murders, the script blends documented fact with invention and offers its own answer at the close. Caine carries it on quiet fury alone. Stream Jack the Ripper Season 1 online on iFILM.
