Idris Elba (The Wire, American Gangster) stars as Detective John Luther in this thrilling new crime series from BBC America. A self-destructive near-genius, Luther might just be as dangerous as the depraved criminals he hunts. Luther follows his own moral code as much as the rules of criminal law. But he quickly becomes locked in a lethal battle of wits with Alice (Ruth Wilson, The Prisoner, Jane Eyre), a beautiful, highly intelligent mass murderer, and his decision-making process becomes increasingly murky. The strain begins to tell as he’s drawn deeper and deeper into a series of horrific murders, and the shadow of a former case threatens to bring him down. Forced to face his own capacity for violence, he struggles with why his wife left him and what draws him to Alice. As the stakes get higher and more personal, Luther’s lonely path pulls him towards the very edge of temptation. Is he a force for good or a man hell bent on self-destruction?

Bump. Just watched this series this week and :bowdown:

Second favorite show behind Breaking Bad (passed up Sons of Anarchy in my mind after just 5 episodes).

Netflix FINALLY released the second season. Starting with episode 1 now :banana:

Good look on pointing out the second season is out on netflix. I prob would have noticed for a couple weeks lol.

I didn't know that they only had the first season on there, because I just watched all 10 episodes in about 3 days.

Been tempted to watch this on netflix a few times since the main character is Stringer from The Wire. Will check it out.

Do it. It is awesome, and takes little commitment considering there is only 6 episodes in season 1, and 4 episodes in season 2. Season 3 is expected to have 4 episodes as well.

[Jailblazers7]

Yeah, there aren't many episodes and the writing and directing is very high quality.

We also know that Britain has the most insane criminals in the world. Not a safe place to live.

It was announced yesterday that an American remake of the show is happening :facepalm

But then they just announced today that the original (with Elba returning) is coming back for a 2 part miniseries :banana:

Plus the remake coming to Fox means it's going to be horrible.
