Bad Women: The Blackout Ripper - The serial killer Jack the Ripper has often been told as Jack as the focus, but what about the people he murdered? 

This engrossing and compelling series hosted by historian Hallie Rubenhold, who has been researching the story for a number of years, reframes the story by focusing on the entire life story of the victims, rather than just the day they died. There’s also a lot about Jack the Ripper story that is just a complete myth or doesn't add up, so Rubenhold tries to separate fact from fiction.
