WubsTheFadger Short and Simple Review by WubsTheFadgerLuther is a dark and disturbing crime drama. Each episode has a linear story that mostly deals with Luther's personal life. Each episode also has a criminal who is murdering people in very disturbing ways. I found the stories to be very good mostly because the series has great characters.The acting is very good. Idris Elda performs exceptionally. Ruth Wilson also performs spectacularly as the psychopath Alice Morgan. She is so seductive and disturbingly sexy. Dermot Crowley, Michael Smiley, Paul McGann, and Warren Brown all perform very well. Nikki Amuka-Bird performs the worst in my eyes. She is ugly, has weird lips, and her characters sucked. I wish Rose Leslie was in more episodes besides the final two. She is such a great actress and she is so beautiful.The pacing in most episodes is slow and the runtime for each episode is a little longPros: Dark and disturbing stories, great characters, amazing performances by Idris Elda and Ruth Wilson, and all around good actingCons: Slow pacing, the episodes are long, Nikki Amuka-Bird is ugly and her character sucked, and I wish that Rose Leslie was in more of the episodes because she is a great actress and she is beautifulOverall Rating: 8.4
anagent If you haven't seen it and you are looking for something riveting to watch get on Netflix and you will find the entire series.Only 2 faults 1, there isn't enough of of it, with only 15 episodes over 4 seasons.2, I really wish the BBC would show London as it actually is rather than the traditionally English London Hamlet it isn't.
mjdavis43 Luther is an intensely awesome action drama. great story line and perfect cast. Luther is a good cop / bad *ss cop with a heart of gold and a fist of iron. I cant really compare Luther to any show iv seen in the past, but if i were to compare Luther to any other show or movie it would be casino royal. Iv binge watched Luther a couple times so its a definitely good watch for sure. Im definitely looking forward to more seasons.
Harhaluulo54 I took quite a liking into the show after episode 1. Luther seemed like a real interesting character. The type of guy who doesn't give an ef, just does things in his own way. The words "my man" were used when I watched that door breaking rage scene. Soon after the downhill started. The writing became very typical and predictable. Towards the end of season 1 everything started to seem generic. Basically every bit of writing was an overused crime trope done in the least impressive manner. And the main focus of the show was now completely on relationship drama. At this point I realized the target audience was the same as Holby City hospital - Older and middle-aged women. I dropped the series after season 1 finale which was basically a "not this sh!t again" experience for me. It's rather ridiculous how fast the series started dragging and ran out of content related to its genre.
