I watched parts 2 and 3 of this, and they're also good, but not great. Part 2 was the weakest. It's based on the Yorkshire Ripper, but the story revolves around the Yorkshire police trying to hide one of their owns murders in with the Ripper's. When we finally meet the Ripper, he's a shadow of the evil cast by the police.
The third episode ties it all together, but you'll still have questions. I'm totally in the dark about one body found - there was significance there in some way, but it went over my head. And the ending is not quite as believable as the rest of the show. It's a little happy, which is ridiculous here. The whole series leads you to suspect that a trip to Yorkshire might be almost as fun as a trip to the gynecologist. And then there's a little happiness in the ending? Bad form.
Mark Addy is the unexpected star of part 3, and he's great.
