Luther is a prime example of British drama at its best and it sets the bar high for the rest. It is a simply fantastic series and it combines many different themes which makes is so watchable. It is predominantly a crime, drama, thriller and yet it also has the odd comical moment.
One of the reasons why this is such a brilliant programme is due to the amazing cast and how well their on screen relationships work. Most importantly John Luther himself is extremely captivating and the different levels of his character make you want to find out more. Aside from Luther one of the most notable characters in the series is Alice Morgan who provides another thrilling element to the whole thing.
Another amazing aspect of the whole series is the way that every single episode is so good, although there are a few which stand out, the general level is of such a high standard. The way the story always unfolds gradually creates immense suspense and the climax of the individual stories are always executed through brilliant scenes.
The cases usually start and finish in one episode although the particularly explosive cases expand over two. Each new case is extremely different from the last and yet they were all shocking and thrilling in their own way.
I would recommend this series to anyone to at least try and even if you don't normally like this type of drama I'm sure it would manage to draw you in.
