I am just starting its third (and final) season. It's a gritty British cop drama starring Idirs Elba. VERY powerful stuff.

I started binge watching the first two seasons on Netflix 2 months ago. Pretty good stuff especially when Luther is paired with Alice who seems to be mostly absent in season 2. Hopefully she has more appearances in season 3

Yes. I LOVE it. Alice is so fucking awesome. She was in the second season a lot less because of Ruth Wilson's obligation to Lone Ranger. She's not in the third season aside from the last episode but she has a big return that is teased throughout the previous three episodes.

Some of the episodes are super intense and quite a few are legitimately scary.

Idris is also great in this role. I hope the rumored feature adaptation comes to fruition.

^But it will be a prequel, so no Alice...

I've been mentioning this show here for a couple of years every now and then. It's brilliant.

It's on my watchlist. But it's probably going to take a while till I get around to it.

But it in front of your watchlist. You'll love the hell out of it.

So did I, BTW.

Tried it. Could not get into it. Idris Elba is solid, but the series has this hyperbolic, rushed quality. And it relies too heavily on super-cop-is-super moments in which Luther's random predictions and leaps in logic always pan out at the last second.

ARG just found out Ruth Wilson isn't supposed to be in it. That kind of ruins it. S3 had a perfect ending and this may ruin that.


Apparently it features Luther hellbent on revenge, so maybe someone murders Alice...

On the upside, it features two hotties: Rose Leslie and Laura Haddock.
