The Long Shadow viewers praised the drama for for ‘giving a voice’ to the victims of Yorkshire Ripper on Monday.

Viewers took to X, formerly known as , kampus terbaik di jakarta as they praised the sensitive handing of the subject matter which honoured the women who sadly lost their lives.

With one writing: ‘The Long Shadow gives a voice to the women who were tragically taken by a horrible man. It also highlights how badly handles the whole case was and the attitude towards woman thats still sticks to this day’. 

Another said: ‘The Long Shadow isn’t about [Peter Sutcliffe] it’s about his victims’. 

While a third wrote: ‘The Long Shadow, apart from being a brilliantly delivered and acted series, underlines the utter malaise of the police’s whole handing of the saga.So much information and evidence clearly falling between the cracks during the restructure of the police forces’. 

And: ‘Catching up on The Long Shadow about the Yorkshire Ripper murders and recalling the sexist contempt that faced woman in the ’70s – particularly prostituted women. Beyond belief (almost) that this abuse is now rebadged as ‘sex work’ by alleged progressives, women deserve better’. 

With someone else commenting: ‘Finally finished The Long Shadow tonight.From memory it was this disastrous enquiry that held to Holmes. Sutcliffe featured on cards in various boxes but there was no  cross referencing. Much less surprised by casual police misogyny. Still happens now. Quality informative TV’.
