Luther
8/10
I
finally got around to watching Series 4 of the BBC show Luther
starring Idris Elba. Again, a great example of something being less
is more for a TV show. The previous seasons had four episodes but
this one had just two of them. To me there has not been a single
wasted moment in this series and this was no exception. Considering
there were just two episodes that would have been terrible. This
continues after the previous season where Luther has left the police
force and something happens that upset the shit out of me at the
start of the episode. I won't say what but, damn it. I hope its not
true. This is the type of show that I can't picture anyone else doing
and when I heard there was an American remake possible I just rolled
my eyes so hard I fell down.
Luther
is asked to help out on a series of murders by this super creepy ass
guy. That is one thing this show does very well. The writers know how
to make creep. Knowing what this is doing to his victims, getting
them on many personal levels before killing them is super sketch.
With the loss of his former partner they managed to have a cast that
can pick up the slack and provide Luther with someone to bounce off
of with Darren Boyd and Rose Leslie. There is so much I want to talk
about with this but I don't want to spoil it for anyone that has a
chance to check it out.
