Idris Elba returns as John Luther, the near-genius detective struggling with his own demons.
Devastated by the brutal murder of his wife, John Luther returns to policing in a different world. After Zoe’s death and best friend Ian Reed’s betray, Luther spent some time working on cold cases.
Now he’s back. His old unit has gone and he’s working in the newly created Serious and Serial unit. Headed by former police complaints officer Martin Schenk (Dermot Crowley), it is Luther’s chance for a fresh start. But is it one he really wants?
Luther quickly gathers together his team, rescuing his old partner Detective Justin Ripley (Warren Brown) from career oblivion. Joining them is ambitious Detective Erin Gray (Nikki Amuka-Bird). She’s heard of Luther’s reputation, seen what’s happened to Ripley and doesn’t want her own job prospects tarnished in the same way.
It’s not long before they’re dealing with their first case. A masked man wanders the streets of London, carrying out ritualistic murders in historic locations – Smithfield, Petticoat Lane… He’s taking Luther on a tour through the narrow alleyways and back streets of the city, using murders to mark out his territory and working up to one final masterpiece…

Super show!!
Idris Elba plays John Luther to perfection - clever, caring, troubled and not afraid of bending the rules, Luther is a cop with a difference. After the murder of someone very close to him, he returns to work in a new unit 'Serious and Serial Crimes'. What follows is dark & somewhat disturbing, but if you like good crime series, this is DEFINITELY one to put on your 'Want List'. Written by the brilliant Neil Cross - Luther is a character I hope to see more of in a third series.
