Nobody ever said that cop shows had to be realistic to be effective. Okay, they did, and in some cases they were almost certainly right, but the maxim doesn’t apply to BBC One’s Luther.
Even in a modern entertainment world where America, France and even Denmark are routinely exporting excellent psychological police thrillers as if there’s a NATO surplus, Neil Cross has proved with this show that British television hasn’t forgotten how to make them either.
In the final instalment of Series 2, DCI John Luther has to balance resolving the desperate dilemma that his concern for Caroline and Jenny Jones has led him into with stopping the destructive violence of two twins whose competitive spirit is only matched by their capacity for chaos.
One of the (many) great things about Luther is the bad guys. Despite their diabolical schemes and vicious acts of mass murder, they’re not bald-headed men in secret lairs. Instead, they’re frighteningly ordinary-looking young men.
Actor Idris Elba (The Wire) has revealed that he’d like to see a third series of BBC One crime thriller Luther “take over television for a week”.
In the third instalment of Luther’s new series, DCI Luther is faced with a man committing acts of horrible brutality and wanton destruction, seemingly at random, while DS Gray becomes ever more concerned about the integrity of her superior officer.
Actor Idris Elba (The Wire) has revealed that BBC One crime thriller Luther “might well continue” beyond Series 2.
The second instalment of the new series sees what started as a fairly narrow story opening up around John Luther (Idris Elba) as he searches for salvation amid the wreckage of his private life and the darkness that his life as a policeman brings him into incessant contact with.
Idris Elba reprises his role as DCI John Luther, the near-genius murder detective, in a new four-part series of Luther on BBC One this summer.
