About this show

Luther is a deeply thrilling crime drama, crackling with energy, distinctive characters and snappy, clever dialogue. On a moral crusade, too often with only his convictions for company, John Luther is a deeply troubled man, a philosophical cop possessed by the insoluble problem of evil and justice in a Godless world. Confronting depravity in its many terrible forms, over a succession of psychological duels between hunter and hunted, perpetrator and prey, Luther reveals his capacity for violence as well as kindness; his sudden vulnerability and dizzying, visionary mind; why his wife left him for another man, and why his colleagues are frequently left open-mouthed in awe. As the stakes get ever higher and more personal, Luther's lonely path pulls him towards the very edge of temptation. Will the relentless pursuit of light tip him into the ultimate darkness?

This season was painfully dull, limping towards it's inevitable and unexciting conclusion. Really struggled to get through this - this show has well and truly jumped the shark.

Luther (Idris Elba) is a terrible cop, because he doesn't play by the rules and he doesn't share much with his colleagues. But he's a brilliant detective (of course). Through three series he needs to perform a sometimes desperate balancing act between solving the worst crimes, and fending off those in authority who seek to bring him down, frequently helped by the friendly psychopath Alice (brilliantly portrayed by Ruth Wilson). A thriller from start to end, so just buy the whole series and book a weekend to watch it.

It is cheaper to buy the seasons separately than together, so do not pay out $3 more than you have to!
