Luther - 01/02/15 09:27 PM
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.
