Korona 0 Report post Posted June 2, 2010 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rattuskid 0 Report post Posted June 4, 2010 I was expecting a 'Wicked' style protagonist switch on the Superman story... and now I'm dissapointed it's just another cop show. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ironduke57 0 Report post Posted June 5, 2010 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 Regards, ironduke57 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Korona 0 Report post Posted June 6, 2010 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Korona 0 Report post Posted June 8, 2010 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! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rattuskid 0 Report post Posted June 10, 2010 Looks like a less shooty The Shield. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Korona 0 Report post Posted June 11, 2010 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! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
