    Incredible series, which I know you'll love as the show progresses. Highly recommend reading 'Luther: The Calling' too - it's a prequel to episode one, in book form, and was intended to be filmed, but 'Fallen Sun' was written/filmed instead. Keep up with it, the twists are great and the serial killers are haunting. Plus Idris is **chef's kiss** x

      @@TheEclecticBeard Paul McGann who plays Mark, Luther's wife's new man, is also a superb actor.
      Among his many roles is the "8th Doctor" in Doctor Who, although sadly he only got one UK/US co-production movie in the role (although he has recorded many audio stories and popped up a couple of times in the new series). The movie Withnail and I in which he stars as "I" to Richard E Grant's Withnail is a cult classic that you might like to check out. I've seen him in so many roles yet in the version of The Three Musketeers with Charlie Sheen and Kiefer Sutherland I failed to notice he actually plays two separate roles!
      He also has 3 brothers who are all actors. One's now best known for playing the doctor in Call The Midwife. All four starred as brothers in a series called The Hanging Gale set during the Irish Potato Famine. I recall one reviewer lauding the production but stating they had trouble telling the brothers apart!
      If you like Charles Dickens then you should definitely check out Our Mutual Friend. Both Paul McGann and Steven Mackintosh, who plays Luther's friend and colleague Ian Reed, have lead roles in it as part of a terrific cast. It's my favourite Dickens adaptation.

    I'm pleased you've discovered Luther. As with many British crime series, each becomes darker than the one before it. There are five, plus a film sequel which came out just last month (Feb 2023). If you haven't yet done so, try some other British crime series. I suggest starting with Line of Duty, Broadchurch, and Hidden, which are each very different from one another. British tv generally portays police starring rôles as less romanticised than US tv does.

  • @Wrennys

    Messiah with Ken Stott was superb as well, brilliantly acted and extremely dark. Haven't seen anyone react to that either. Luther, Wire in the Blood, Messiah, Broadchurch are the best imo.

    This made me a Huge Idris Elba fan! He had me at "Oh, 'enry, you're gonna fawl..." One of the best cop TV series -- and any kind of series -- ever. When there was talk about who'd be the next 007, Elba's name was floated and, as a lifetime Connery/Bond fan, I thought Idris would make a great Bond for today. Instead, I guess it'll be an empowered female... sigh.

    Genuinely hope you enjoy this show, it's on par with BBCs Sherlock (and in some aspects even surprasses it IMO)
    Great acting, great stories, and that lovely wish fulfillment of "being a vigilante on the edge"
