Luther - So I just watched the first episode of this and it was f**king amazing. Idris Elba plays a cop, John Luther, who's back at work after having spent a few months on a psychiatric ward (for reasons we're shown at the beginning of the epiode). Right away he's thrown into a case where things aren't as they seem. He also has to deal with his pretty much broken marriage.
This is not a typical crime series where the cops are always the good guys, always do the right things at the end of the day and the bad guys always get caught at the end of each episode. No, this is something different and in my opinion, much better. The acting is great and I was equally impressed by Elba and Ruth Wilson, who plays Alice Morgan.
Very intelligent, very angry. That about sums it up.
