So hyped for this television import, if you don’t know what BBC Luther is it’s a series about detective John Luther that’s personally conflicted, brillant at his job but has his own approach to solving crimes. Luther is a highly charged emotional man who is not above stretching the law to solve a case or save a life.
Idris Elba returns in the title role of the acclaimed mini-series which won him a 2012 Golden Globe for “Best Actor” in this four-night television event in September – with two conflicting crimes to investigate and a ruthless ex-cop determined to bring him down. Luther’s life is his job, that is until love crosses his path and offers him a chance of happiness. Sienna Guillory (“Resident Evil,” “Love Actually”) joins the cast as Mary, a woman who works in a vintage clothing shop and meets Luther in a chance encounter. But is Mary ready to accept Luther’s past? And can Luther leave it behind? A self-destructive near-genius, John Luther might just be as dangerous as the depraved criminals he hunts. Luther shines a light into the hearts and minds of psychopaths and killers … and the shadowy spaces of his own soul.
The series is created by Neil Cross and executive produced by Phillippa Giles.
