Fantastic Representation of the Atmosphere and Era - Just Ignore the Innacuracies

Rating: 8/10 (2 November 2018)

A fine representation of the attitudes and the atmosphere of Victorian Era circa 1888.
The identified Ripper suspect and the motives for the crimes were discounted decades ago.
Numerous historical innaccuracies also, but entertaining if taken as a work of fiction rather than a true representation of the Ripper Crimes and History.
Eg. Aberline relaxing whilst listening to a gramophone. The Gramaphone was patented in 1887, therefore it would have existed at the time, however, obtaining one would have been prohibitively expensive, reserved for Royalty and Aristocracy. Well out of the price range of a humble Police Inspector with an Opium habit.
The real Aberline was an alcoholic, not an opium addict and lived to middle age. He was a brilliant detective, though not psychic.
