Title: Luther
Post by: Chuck to Chuck on January 28, 2015, 02:47:03 PM
I started this last night.  Anyone with any experience?  I found Ep 1 to be good-not-great.  The story was pretty standard and they oversold the "twist" so as to make it obvious for the viewer far earlier than it was for Luther.

Elba needs a haircut, too.

It's really bleak. I liked all of what I saw but I was in Norway bored out of my fucking skull so take that with a grain of salt.

Did they not have an internet connection there or something?

The cop stuff was pretty standard, some interesting cases and characters all getting wrapped up tidily per episode in season one. The shots of London were attractive enough. But the storyline about his personal problems was insufferable. I just didn't give a flying shit. That's all I remember. I wanted to like this very badly since I carry around a Wire chub big enough to fill old Soldier Field, but alas I fucking hated it and wanted it to die in a fire.

They did but they didn't have actual places to go to.

If you like Luther, you might also enjoy Wallander.
