Luther

Recommended Posts

Idris Elba who played Stringer Bell in The Wire is the star of a cool new cop series on the BBC called Luther. It's grim and psychological and awesome. I dunno how many people here like dramas but I think this one is definatly worth watching.

I was expecting a 'Wicked' style protagonist switch on the Superman story... and now I'm dissapointed it's just another cop show.

And I though it would be something about Luther and/or evangelic´s.

 

@Korona Maybe you should rethink your idea of an meaningful headline. :P

And alls we get is a British cop show that most of us here can't watch

Sorry...

*cough*

 

This is a 6 episode arc, irrevocable character developmen, there is never ambiguity about trying to put together clues or shit. Calling it a cop show would imply it contains crap like puzzles and clues and investigations. Luther is a series of psychological brawls. It's so rad.

The only cop show that's better than this is The Wire itself.

It was the final episode today and it totally lived up to my expectations. FINALLY a British drama on par with HBO!

 

 

It's coming to BBC America later in the year, I think you should all watch it!

Nah The Shield was awesome but it was a documentary style show. Luther pushes all the police reality stuff to the sides so it can focus on the psychological battles between Luther and the killers. Imagine a goofy alternate version of Silence of the Lambs where Hannibal was the cop and he was obsessed with saving lives rather than eating people. Somewhat dreadful analogy but watch it anyway! it's REALLY good!
