Based on the real life police search for the serial killer, 'The Yorkshire Ripper'. Set in the seventies, it shows us the inequalities and dated attitudes of the time, which often hamper the Police search. The tempo, acting and sets just add to an engaging script. Thoroughly recommended viewing.

We in Britain pretty much have the crime procedural down to a T. While on the one hand it can make many feel the same (see Manhunt, Code of a killer, for example), on the other it keeps them feeling realistic without much fake tension. The Long Shadow did just that, it was nothing new but still remains an enjoyable must watch for anyone interested in true crime Dramas.
