The Long Shadow (UK)
Based on the book Wicked Beyond Belief: The Hunt for the Yorkshire Ripper by Michael Bilton, this true-crime drama depicts the desperate five-year hunt in the 1970s-’80s for serial killer Peter Sutcliffe, aka the “Yorkshire Ripper” — bringing a new perspective to the well-documented story by putting the victims and their families at the heart of the story.
When a mother of four is found murdered near her home in October 1975, DCS Dennis Hoban (Toby Jones, Mr Bates vs. the Post Office, Detectorists) leads the investigation but is frustrated in his efforts to find her killer. After a succession of further murders, it dawns on the detectives that they are dealing with a serial killer. Bereft of serious leads, Hoban is quickly sidelined by Chief Constable Ronald Gregory (Michael McElhatton, Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan, Chernobyl), who seeks to run the investigation his way. After even more murders, Gregory appoints Assistant Chief Constable George Oldfield (David Morrissey, Sherwood, The Walking Dead) to take over the inquiry.
As time moves on, Oldfield is galvanized by the arrival of a series of letters and a tape, purportedly from the killer himself. But even with this seemingly concrete evidence, the murders only continue, and members of the investigative squad become fatally entrenched in their belief that the killer means to target sex workers. Eventually, the team decides to go public with a massive press appeal, hoping to flush out the sender and as a result, the killer. But with this acting as a distraction, the killer is able to strike again and again, sparking waves of protests amongst young women across the country to reclaim the streets. After a chance arrest, the killer is finally identified and caught.
The seven-episode limited series costars Katherine Kelly (Criminal UK), Daniel Mays (Line of Duty), Liz White (Life on Mars), Jill Halfpenny (Liar), Jack Deam (Father Brown), Chloe Harris (The Ipcress File), Mark Stobbart (Disobedience), Lee Ingleby (The A Word), Steven Waddington (Slow Horses), Stephen Tompkinson (DCI Banks), Dorothy Atkinson (Mum), Robert James-Collier (Downton Abbey), Shaun Dooley (Gentleman Jack), Ruth Madeley (Doctor Who), Adam James (Vigil), and Cara Theobold (Downton Abbey), amongst others.
