Once upon a time to pay for college I was a photographer, so lighting can really break something for me, and the lighting in Whitechapel mostly sucks. They don't know how to light on location night scenes, they don't know how to light for drama. I understand it's not exactly high budget but there are still things you can do to add drama, to not make it look washed out. At least adjust the contrast a bit... they really did none of it. It irritates me to no end.\ \ But, the acting is good, the story is good. Seems well liked for people who aren't as anal as me.

DI Chandler, DC Miles and the team investigate a series of brutal killings and maimings. Local history expert Buchan suggests that London once more has a copycat killer - only this time the murders mirror killings by the Kray twins in the 1960s. Miles and Chandler refuse to believe Buchan's theory since the Krays are both dead - but is Buchan on the right path?

Miles learns that a criminal called Billy Bunhill has been shot inside another notorious Kray haunt, The Blind Beggar pub. Chandler's interest is piqued when he realises that the murder mirrors George Cornell's killing by Ronnie Kray in 1966. Who could possibly be trading off the ghosts of the Krays and using their legend to invoke fear and paranoia on the streets of Whitechapel? When the threats become personal and the killer seems to be one step ahead, Chandler and Miles have to wonder just how far the murderer's power reaches.
