The crime drama series follows
DCI John Luther, a brilliant yet troubled investigator. Though his private life
is rocky and his temperament is a bit unpredictable, he is the man for the
toughest cases. Will he be able to keep things together or will he wind up behind
bars himself? On his first case back from psychological leave, he meets the
mysterious sociopath Alice Morgan. She seems to have clearly murdered her
parents but Luther cannot seem to prove it. The two seem to find an odd fascination
in each other.
The series is created by Neil Cross (who
wrote the entire series). He also worked on MI-5
previously.
The cast is fantastic. It stars Idris Elba, Warren Brown, Dermot Crowley,
and Ruth Wilson.
Michael Smiley,
Paul McGann, Nikki Amuka-Bird, Steven Mackintosh,
Saskia Reeves, Indira Varma, Sienna Guillory,
David O’Hara,
Aimee-Ffion
Edwards, Kierston
Wareing, and Anton Saunders
feature in support.
Luther is among the best recent
detective series, second only to Sherlock. Idris
Elba and Ruth Wilson have created two of the most compelling and dynamic
character with Luther and Alice, respectively. Their relationship is electric.
The series does everything well: character development and performance, writing,
style and tone, and the cases are all themselves interesting and thrilling.
This is a must-see series for fans of detective shows. The show features three
seasons.
