A 'masterpiece' crime drama with an all-star cast and rave reviews is leaving Netflix - and viewers have just weeks left to watch it.
ITV police procedural Whitechapel debuted in 2009 and lasted for four series altogether.
Starring Rupert Penry-Jones, the premise followed his character DI Joseph Chandler and fellow detectives facing mimicked historical crimes.
This of course includes allusions to the real-life Whitechapel murders committed by Jack the Ripper.
The protagonist's name, Joseph Chandler, comes from a real-life Police Inspector who was first on the scene of Jack the Ripper victim Annie Chapman's murder.
Also featured are Phil Davis as DS Ray Miles, Steve Pemberton as Edward Buchan and Claire Rushbrook as Dr Caroline Llewellyn.

The show is soon set to be removed from Netflix - and viewers don't have long left to watch it on the streamer
Whitechapel is leaving Netflix on February 26, meaning fans haven't got long at all to rewatch the programme - or discover it for the first time.
Writing online, fans shared their appreciation for the series, with one penning: 'This is a masterpiece by all accounts.'
Another commented: 'Mystery and dark history in it make the series quite unique to other detective series.'
A third chimed in: 'Very good can be very dark and gritty but is edge of the seat series.'
In November 2013, series star Rupert confirmed to fans that Whitechapel would not be returning for series five.
He penned on X, then Twitter, at the time: 'Sorry to be the bearer of bad news everyone but ITV don't want any more Whitechapel. That's all folks x.'
Elsewhere, fans were left furious after Netflix previously announced that they will be removing sitcom Friends from their site.

The hit series, which originally aired on NBC from 1994 to 2004, had been on the platform since 2018, with all ten seasons available to watch.
After it was removed from the streaming giant on December 30, 2025, UK viewers of the hit 1990s series don't have long to wait to stream it again on their TV screens.
All ten seasons will soon be available to stream on HBO Max, which will launch in the UK on March 26 - having run across the pond since 2020.
The site, which also streams other hit series including Game of Thrones and Succession, will be made available in the UK and Ireland from just £4.99.
Aside from Friends, the streaming service will also include programmes made by HBO, Warner Bros, DC Studios and Max Originals.
It comes after Netflix fans were left bereft by the news Friends was being removed from the streaming giant, with just a few weeks of notice.
One penned on X: 'Removing Friends on 30th dec.... so you want me to go insane? Count your days Netflix,' as a second added: 'You cannot take Friends off Netflix. It is my anti-depressant at night. Every night without fail I watch it.'
A third wrote: 'I saw that Friends is leaving the platform, and I just wanted to share how much this show means to me.
'It's the series I turn to when I'm happy, sad, stressed, or celebrating something. Watching Friends while eating my favorite dinner is one of my small joys in life.'
While a fourth agreed: 'How can Netflix be taking Friends off in UK? Literally the ONLY thing I go onto Netflix everyday for, I watch it non stop back to back, my absolute comfort show, may as well cancel my subscription.'
