Just started 3 series/season, only 4 episodes. After that have to wait for episodes supposed to come out this year, so probably be 2016 before I see them.

John Luther is not at all a by the book cop. The series actually starts with him chasing a serial killer he's been trying to catch for months. The killer falls. Did Luther A) try to save him, B) watch him fall or C) make him fall? That question haunts the entire series. Seems to me B was the answer. He did nothing, let gravity work. The killer survives the fall, but is in a comma. After months of investjgation Luther is cleared and returns to work. His next case: a man, a woman and a dog are killed. Daughter claims to have found the bodies. Luther believes she did it but can't prove it. For the entire first seasion she and Luther have a strange relationship. He doesn't call them friends but she in her own mad way tries to help him out from time to time. At first he tells her to stop but in the end he ends up calling upon for her help.

Luther's wife took up with another man, played by the 9th Doctor from the Doctor Who TV movie. I didn't like his character. I don't know what the wife saw in him. To me he seemed weak. But maybe thats what she wanted after John.

Luther's unorthodox methods land him into all kinds of trouble, including being framed for a murder he didn't commit.
In season 2 he forced to temporary work with mobsters.
Season 3 he's being investigated by a woman who used to be his subordinate but not has same rank and is in what American cop shows would call internal affairs, She thinks she's better than Luther but she's using methods that aren't strictly legal or ethical, so she's actually becoming him. If she succeed in taking Luther down the rate of solved crimes will plummet. An unnamed source claims Luther killed a minor monster. He didn't, the source has it wrong.

Loved Luther. Main actor also did other series at various stages in his life. Good acting. I especially like the girl in this one who is so evil it almost makes evil a good thing. Yup. Good series.

I can't recommend Luther enough. If you liked Idris Elba in The Wire you will want to give this series a look. Did I mention that Alice is the best side kick ever?

Guess I'll have to look for The Wire. Luther popped on on Netflix because if the other British series I've been watching, Broadchurch, The Fall, etc so I gave it a shot.

In her own insane way Alice loves Luther. I think she even whispered it in his ear.

I just fished series 3, episode 3 and I did not see that coming. Still stunned they did that to Justin.

Darn Netflix, they're taking Luther offline February 1st, which means it wont by in My List so I'll know when the 2 episode mini series as available. I keep all the shows I've already watched that have more coming so I can check on them later without having to remember what they all were. Now I'm going to have to remember, probably some time in 2016 to look up Luther again.

I'm going to miss Alice but Rose Leslie is a nice addition to the series.

I also love this series. I was able to rent them from my library on disks.

I've only seen the first episode of the 5th season. Looks like Luther isn't going to get much if any sleep for awhile.

I finally finished it, I didn't want it to end so I dragged it out. Seems like it ended where it began with Luther chasing a killer and having to decide whether to try to save the killer or let the killer fall to their death. And with Luther under suspicion. They could do a sixth series if Idris Elba is willing. Alice really didn't know him if she actually thought he was as uncaring as she. And Mark was wrong of course, Alice was in fact a psychopath.

Thanks for posting this. We loved the first 4 seasons and were wondering when the next one would come out.


I think I'm quite ready for another adventure.
