This is a sensational show, truly fantastic. In the ever bloated genre of crime drama one could be forgiven for becoming jaded of the sameness of titles. Though, Luther takes this concept and wipes it on the floor and stamps on it a few times while shouting in that unique Idris Elba style tone. What Luther does is takes a bloated genre and makes us realise why it is so bloated. This programme somehow makes crime drama novel again. Be it the exciting and engaging characters, the Nolanesque darkness of London, or the incredible writing of plot lines within it; one will not be left disappointed.
Indeed, Luther does everything right. The character of Luther is incredible; he is a character of many dimensions, brilliance, tragedy, morality; he is a true genius fighting personal battles which he attempts to juggle with his work of being a detective that tackles some of the most creative cases that I've ever seen in a crime drama. The greatness of the writing for the character is of course reflected in the stunning performance that Idris Elba gives. Luther is surrounded by a whole host of memorable fantastic characters, from unsung-heroes and anti -heroes to downright nasty villains that we love to hate. Luther is a credit to British television and a true great inside the genre.
