The series really has little to do with Jack the Ripper. I guess other than it's supposed to be set in the area where he roamed etc. They do make references to him (past tense) and if I remember right the older head police officer had been obsessed with solving that case. But other than that, it's not about him. It would be too bad if the title put people off watching it.

I liked the series too. Some things in the later episodes get a little far fetched, but it is still worth watching and well done I think.
