Simply Perfect

It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.

I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

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.

This show had absolutely nowhere to go except to Hades where the Ripper came from. I hated the bad guy. And the good guy was weak and ineffectual. I don't know which of the two main male characters were the most infuriating. It's very depressing show. It gives the viewer nothing to hope for, or cheer for. Except CANCELLATION.

I actually quite like this program- it's entertaining enough, the acting is surprisingly good and the premise isn't bad (the movie is excellent). There is some massive flaws though H.G and the Ripper have both adapted to the twenty first century as if they've only jumped 5-10 years not 129!!!! In the first episode John went to the pawn shop as if he'd been at one many times before and seemed to already know what his pawn was worth in the 21st century. They had no problems with mobile phones, laptops etc and worst of all recognised round security cameras that were designed to look like lights!! Hmmm is all this stuff standard in 1888?? The guys also seem a little too clean cut for 19th century men looking like they've just finished surfing at the beach. If you want to turn off your brain and not think too much about these things then you'll enjoy yourself otherwise it'll set your OCD into overdrive oh and did I mention that the woman who plays Jane just happens to be the most gorgeous woman on TV?? No?? Well she is!!!

I am big fan of H. G. Wells, mainly of his novel The Time Machine. The adventures of this book are amazing. However, this TV Series needs to explore more the concept of time travel. On the book there was a very interesting explanation about how the time travel is possible, the author explained about the fourth dimension, how we are constantly traveling on time when we think about the past events… This explanation made us believe that travel on time is really possible. While on the TV Series this explanation is summarized in a few simplistic sentences. Besides, there are few long time travels, and when it happens it does not shows the transformation in the environment such as the aging of the objects around. I think these details would make it more plausible.By now, I have just watched a romantic story between H. G Wells and his girlfriend, while they chase a ripper. This plot is not interesting. It 's like a Mexican soap opera of the XXI. This TV Series talks little about time travel and too much about the century XXI. The whole story is about chasing a man in the present moment. Where are the adventures of travel on time, meet different civilizations or our own civilization on higher stage of evolution? Will we see the past or the destiny of humankind? I hope so. Cause after all, what is the point of a Time Travel TV Series which does not talk about time travel.
