'The Ripper' on Netflix

The Ripper series is based on a true-crime incident that occurred in West Yorkshire and Manchester. The killings occurred between 1975 and 1980 and the culprit was a man named Peter William Sutcliffe. The man was convicted of killing 13 women and attempting to murder 7 others during this time. He was known as the Yorkshire Ripper as an allusion to "Jack the Ripper". The Netflix series is told through a series of interviews with investigators, journalists, and survivors. He was sentenced to life imprisonment, however, he recently passed away on 13 November 2020 at the age of 74. The manhunt of Sutcliffe was one of the most expensive manhunts in British history and the West Yorkshire police were heavily criticised due to their failure to catch Sutcliffe even though they had interviewed him 9 times in the 5-year course of their investigation.
