Luther - Season 3
This series sees a twisted fetishist targeting young women in London. Luther is convinced the man will strike again, but when the detective is ordered to investigate another case, the chances of catching the killer start to fall. But Luther’s biggest threat could be closer to home, when it emerges that his own colleagues are willing to break every rule in the book to bring him down... Elsewhere it looks like Luther might have finally found love again, but is he ready to leave his past behind? Finally, when a vigilante killer embarks on a crusade to punish criminals, Luther is forced to confront his own sense of morality. Can he walk the line between right and wrong and do his job or has he finally met his match?

The plotting is perfunctory at best, and woefully, repetitively tired at worst.

Luther is a great example of all of the annoying a TV show can do and still be worth watching, so long as it gets some essential things right.

At this point, Luther is what it is, and we may be wishing we had it back if the film industry, which is doing its best to pry Elba away from TV, fails to use the actor's many skills to their fullest capacity.
September 03, 2013
Luther presents a problem for drama writers: Heal him and he's less interesting; perpetuate his damage and the show gets repetitive. Luther seems stuck in the latter cycle.
September 04, 2013
Sensationalism trumps subtlety once more. Both Luther and Idris Elba deserve so much more.

A "season" of Luther feels brief, because it is. After a two-year wait, the whole thing begins and ends this week. But because it wastes none of that time, it also feels like we've been studying this guy for a long time.
September 03, 2013
Elba makes Luther's haunted, lonely soul into something faceted and more sympathetic than most of TV's broody detectives.

It was clear from this opening scene that all the elements that made it one of the most worthwhile British imports had survived the two-year hiatus between seasons intact.

After watching tonight, you'll check under the bed before slipping under the covers.

The season finale wasn't quite the explosive full-stop that we'd come to expect, but it was a nice rounding off to this chapter of the show. Whatever will they do next?
