Detective Chief Inspector John Luther ist ein besonderer Cop. Er ist selbst ein Getriebener, verfolgt von seinem Gerechtigkeitsdrang und seinen Selbst-zweifeln. Trotzdem kann man sich nur schwer der Faszination des charismatischen und intelligenten Detectives entziehen, der intellektuell brilliant aber emotional gesteuert und impulsiv agiert. Durch sein geradezu zwanghaftes Engagement wagt sich Luther allerdings auch an die Dinge heran, von denen sich andere fernhalten: die Herzen und Seelen von Psychopathen und Mördern – und so an seine eigenen düsteren Abgründe. Als der Einsatz immer höher und persönlicher wird, führt sein einsamer Pfad John Luther an den Rand der Legalität. Sind seine selbstzerstörerischen Kräfte genauso gefährlich wie die der Verbrecher, die er jagt? (ZDF)

Luther (2010)
It doesn’t often happen that I get sucked in after the first couple of minutes (and I was purring with delight during the first conversation). So far, Luther is the series for me. Season one: A great atmosphere, interesting story, quality acting performances. Despite a bit of a kicking (and one very weak episode), overall this is an above-average work, especially for Brits. If it weren’t for Idris “String" Elba, I wouldn’t have even come across Luther, but it would be a shame if this mix of Colombo, Dexter etc. went unnoticed. I look forward to the next season. Season two: Convincing killers (both of the three) and their intriguing introduction are a great plus for season two. Or four-part miniseries, or whatever. The non-crime storyline isn’t bad, but why Luther tied such a millstone around his neck, I can’t begin to fathom. The fact is that it worked out superbly. The only character I miss is Alice who had the cheek to take a holiday. I hope we see her return. Season three: Maybe the best season so far. I like the new girl, Mary, who is a fine complement for John. The murderer in the second half is superb at the beginning, but in the last episode he goes a little crazy or something and all of his unpleasantness flies out the window. All of the twists in Luther are just too much and lack logic, but people rarely act logically, do they? But mainly! Alice is back. Oh, and if you ever betray him like this again, I'll kill you. And eat you. Darn, just now I found out that there will be no next episode. John is certainly quitting when he’s ahead and it was a superb ride.
