A self-destructive near-genius, Luther might just be as dangerous as the depraved criminals he hunts. Luther follows his own moral code as much as the rules of criminal law. But he quickly becomes locked in a lethal battle of wits with Alice, a beautiful, highly intelligent mass murderer, and his decision-making process becomes increasingly murky. Luther's lonely path pulls him towards the very edge of temptation.

COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Luther submitted by Jen Chapin-Smith on June 14, 2014, 7:37pm BBC One first aired this British crime drama in 2011 with Idris Elba as the title character Detective Chief Inspector John Luther. The series begins with Inspector Luther chasing a serial killer to the top of a building and threatening to let him die if he does not reveal the whereabouts of his latest kidnapping victim.

*Spoiler alert*

The police find the girl just in time, but the serial killer nonetheless falls from a great height and ends up in a coma. Did Luther let him fall intentionally? After putting our protagonist on leave for several months, the police decide Luther was not at fault and bring him back on board. Unfortunately, his marriage has suffered in the meantime. His first suspect, Alice, whom he believes has killed her parents but cleverly hidden the evidence, takes advantage of Luther's personal issues.

Good show submitted by bookher on August 19, 2016, 3:00pm I really like interesting and well thought out crime dramas and this one is excellent!

Gripping submitted by gardenfaerie on July 21, 2017, 6:48pm I love this program -- you never quite no where it's headed. Great role for Idris Elba, esp. if you liked him in The Wire.

Luther. Season 1 submitted by yufamily on August 6, 2022, 8:56pm Idris Elba delivers a top notch performance.

Really interesting submitted by rachel on June 21, 2023, 7:39pm Both Elba and Wilson are fascinating to watch. And it's fun to see the actress we know as Jane Eyre play an entirely different sort of character.
