THE Long Shadow viewers have blasted ITV for 'ruining' its Yorkshire Ripper drama after a string of blunders.
The brand new series kicked off on Monday night as the heinous crimes of Peter Sutcliffe are brought to life.
Peter murdered 13 women in the 70s and early 80s and attacked many more.
The serial killer was eventually caught and convicted in 1981 of murdering 13 women and attempting to kill seven more.
But as viewers tuned into the new ITV drama, they were left with the same complaint.
They blasted producers over apparent 'technical' problems which resulted in poor sound quality.

Writing on social media, one fan said: "@ITV #TheLongShadow loving it but the sound is poor – background music higher than speaking in a lot of key parts #whatdidhesay ? missed most of it!"
A second wrote: "The Long Shadow – what's with the sound? We can't hear half of what's being said! Sort it out @ITV."
"Dear #ITV when you commissioned #TheLongShadow did everyone involved watch it back? One minute the sound is very low, then it's to loud!! I can't make out what Katherine Kelly is saying, will have to rewatch it again with subtitle."
While a fourth blasted: "The long shadow – had to turn subtitles on as the sound is dire!"
