Hey, you remember The Wire? You remember that total badass Stringer Bell, like a slick James-Bond-modern-Ganster-Sylvester-Stalone-Corleone deathmachine of raw awesome? Well, he's back. Kinda.
Stringer returns as the ingenious, loose-cannon, on-the-edge modern British investigator John Luther. His marriage is in shambles, he let a man literally fall into a coma (death, he had somewhat hoped at the time), he has a loose psycho-killer stalking him and his associates... His life is complicated.
So. That's awesome. But what about the show?
Well, for starters, I'm something like 2 episodes in, and there's not even ONE of the protagonists whom I hate. Like, holy shit. You DON'T KNOW how much of an issue that is! I mean, unless you watch American TV. Which, depressingly enough, I succumb to on occasion.
You see, Luther is BBC. Thus, it is simply better.
Each episode seems to be based around a different investigation, though it shares overarching characters/metaplots; this could play well or badly. We shall see.
Anyway. From what I can tell, I can easily recommend this show; IT"S ON NETFLIX! YAAAAAAY-
