After enjoying La Mante, and being a bit disappointed but interested in the first season of Marcella, I landed on Luther. I like Idris Elba but I found him surprisingly not relatable as Luther; which I believe to be a writing problem more than an acting issue. I want to like the characters and care. But it's clear by the end of the first episode that Luther will always be right and somehow end up on top.

Luther throws every detective show cliche at the screen, with added over the top acting, sloppy writing, cringeworthy dialogue, editing that is all over the place, and irritatingly ignoring every known police protocol. Having just finished watching Happy Valley I couldn't believe the massive drop in quality evident with Luther. So disappointed.

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.

I'm still on the first season, and i haven't written many reviews. Ghe character of Ruth is just plainly absurd. It's like she is a psychic. Unbearable to watch, I'm watching it for the saks of passing this weekend.
