About
You’ll like From Hell if you enjoy dark, Victorian-era murder mysteries with a graphic-novel edge and a tense search for answers; Not for you if you want straightforward, historically grounded detective work like Sleepy Hollow or prefer lighter thrillers like Scream.
Pros: grim Victorian atmosphere; engaging mystery; strong performances | Cons: crowded plot; slow pacing; mixed credibility
