Watch American Ripper In London

American Ripper In London is a television show that takes audiences on a journey through history to explore the infamous Jack the Ripper case. The show is a thrilling investigation into the possibility that the notorious serial killer was actually an American, and viewers are taken on a gripping ride through London as they investigate this compelling theory.

The series centers around Jeff Mudgett, a direct descendant of H.H. Holmes, America's first serial killer. Mudgett believes that his ancestor, who was active in Chicago during the late 1800s, may have been responsible for the Jack the Ripper murders. To prove his theory, Mudgett travels to London to investigate and attempts to uncover concrete evidence that his ancestor and Jack the Ripper were one and the same.

Throughout the episodes, Mudgett and his team explore various locations where Jack the Ripper is believed to have committed his gruesome crimes. They delve into historical documents, analyze clues and evidence, and interview experts in hopes of cracking the case.

One of the strengths of American Ripper In London is how the show is able to bring to life the era in which Jack the Ripper was active. Mudgett and his team visit a range of historical sites, from the streets of Whitechapel to the museum that houses the original case files. The show also extensively references newspapers and court documents of the time, allowing for a deep dive into the investigation, and the motivation behind the murders.

Along with its focus on historical accuracy, American Ripper In London also boasts excellent production values. The show is shot in a variety of locations, including dank alleys, the grand estates of British nobles, and the towering spires of London's most notable buildings. The editing and cinematography are particularly effective at building suspense, both for its historical and modern crime investigation.

While the series is heavily focused on the investigation itself, there are occasional breaks to give the audience some context for the time period. Segments about the way women were treated during the Victorian era, doctors’ knowledge of forensic medicine in the late 1800s, as well as the rise of Jack the Ripper fever and its impact on London are informative and help to flesh out an understanding in the audience of the landscape against which these crimes were committed.

The show isn’t perfect, of course. There are moments where the investigation feels repetitive and the series can be overly melodramatic. However, these are minor complaints that don't detract too much from the overall enjoyment of the program.

Overall, American Ripper In London is a gripping series that takes one of the most captivating true crime cases in history and puts a new spin on it. Jeff Mudgett and his team’s exploration of the Jack the Ripper case and their investigation linking it to America is not only fascinating but it sometimes feels plausible. The show brings an exciting new perspective to this infamous story and is a great one to watch for history buffs and true crime fans alike.
