Mediocre
This should not be in the comedy section. I have finished season 1 and did not laugh once. Full of policing inaccuracies and fairly irritating throughout.

Description
The infamous Whitechapel murders, retold.
Everyone knows the story of Jack the Ripper, the chilling serial killer that haunted the streets of 19th century London. Now, 135 years later, there’s a new killer in town.
In this darkly comic reimagining, men are the victims of sexually aggressive murders committed by a woman: the mysterious Jackie. The only obstacle standing in her way? The slightly clueless, extremely over-caffeinated Detective Abberline and his not-so-crack team at the City of London Police.
This is a laugh-out-loud, gruesome, thrilling comedy drama that will have you in bits – and might take your bits too.

A load of tripe
Was it really worth ruining the Ramble to fund the production of 3 seasons of this rubbish?
2023-08-07
Please make more!
This is just amazing. I need more!

Love it 🌟🌟🌟
Love it, can’t count how many times I’ve re listened to all 3 seasons. Would love to see this as a mini series on the bbc or a streaming service.

Brilliant Series
Really funny. I really enjoyed all 3 series.

Brilliant podcast
This is the best podcast I’ve listened to in a very long time. Funny and clever, great actors too and I’m sad I’ve finished it. I’ll just have to listen to it all again.

Bloody brilliant
Brilliant show!!! Highly recommend to anyone
2022-11-04
Amazing
If you have a dark sense of humour and love a good murder this is the pod for you. Genuinely one of the funniest and wittiest out there
2022-11-01
Great writing and comedy content
One of the best fiction podcasts out there. Hilarious comedy with a great story line - and some brilliant actors too.
Can't wait to get stuck into the final season!

Season 2 - oh dear
Listened to season 1 in a day and thought it was great. Good acting, really funny. Season 2 however just irritating because of the performance of Lead Detective Abiline. Gave up. Shame.
2022-10-10
Hooked from day one!
Hilarious and very interesting.
2022-10-03
Just great fun
This is genuinely funny, fast paced and the cast performances are fantastic. Give it a go!
2022-08-05
Embarrassing
This is the funniest podcast I have ever listened to Bursting out laughing in the gymn and whilst out walking is a frequent event. Some jokes are a wee bit corny but so what, we all need cheering up. Brilliant.
2022-06-28
Addictive show
I’ve just binge watched this whole series in two days (and that was me holding back so I didn’t finish it too quickly, because I knew I’d be lost for something as good when it was over)
Amazing voice actors. Dark but funny story, which is very topical at the moment. The sound effects really grab the imagination. The humour doesn’t detract from the drama of the murder mystery and each episode has had me on the edge of my seat.
I LOVE the main characters especially Lead Detective Freddie Abberline, and of course Jackie.
Can’t recommend enough.
2022-05-29
Exceptionally Entertaining
Completed in just 2 days. Truly found it to be fully entertaining. Drama, Comedy & had me engaged throughout! (some may find a few of the jokes a little dry) however overall still a 5* & can’t wait for more productions to release!
2022-05-13
Brilliant!!
Honestly, maybe one of the best podcast story I have ever listened to. Kept me hooked, there was action, drama and comedy! Definitely recommend!!!
2022-05-05
Excellent podcast
I want more! Loved it and can’t wait for the next one.
2022-04-29
Great
Loved it can’t wait for more
2022-04-29
Awful and infuriating
The main character is ridiculous, the endless uninspired puns and awful jokes are too irritating to bare. I tried for 2 episodes but if you have a brain I would most definitely avoid. Utter rubbish
2022-04-27
Fantastic
Dog walking won’t be the same now until Hallowe’en
2022-04-21
I’m hooked.
I’ve never really got on with audio books/plays but I’m completely hooked by this. Binged both seasons in a couple of days, thoroughly enjoyed listening & can’t wait for the next season.
2022-04-19

Edit - when are we getting season 2? Please?!

Thoroughly entertaining. The second season can’t come soon enough. Great work by all involved

Excellent
A fantastic modern take on an age old story. Written beautifully and both funny and scary at this same time.
2021-10-31
Binge listened.
Listened to it all in a day. Thoroughly enjoyable. Might listen to it all again and see if I can pick up any clues.
2021-10-30
Brilliant from start to finish
This is the best podcast out there. Everything about it is brilliant and I can’t wait until the next season.
2021-10-30
Brilliant
I love fictional drama podcasts and stand alone stories and this was so atmospheric. It was a joy to hear voices I know so well in a different setting, and the writing was so witty and sharp. The production was flawless, and immersive.
It’s been a long while since I’ve binged and loved a show so quickly, and I would love more of these retellings. Can’t wait for the next instalment.
2021-10-29
Brilliant! Hilarious and macabre in equally measure.
Roll on season 2. Can’t wait.

Loved this, funny, poignant and great! Give it a listen!
2021-10-29
Very engaging
Really enjoyed this. The story is gripping, horrific and funny. Great job by the team. I need to know if my guess for Jackie is right or not, can’t wait for series 2.
