Watching Brish series called Luther but not sure why. The acting is ok but the whole premise is such bunk.
Description:
Just over seven years ago, the BBC took a punt on a crime detective series focused on the ingenuity and damaged mind of its sole protagonist. The premise had been done countless times over the years, on both sides of the Atlantic—from Columboto Sherlock Holmes, Starsky and Hutch to The Sweeney—but this was innovative and ground-breaking all at the same time, and in abundance. DCI John Luther hit the mini screen like a bullet, challenging and redefining masculinity whilst providing some of the most revolutionary scriptwriting seen on television in decades. The portrayal of a deeply troubled character who couldn’t escape being consumed by the dark, torturous and sadistic minds he was assigned to take down was, in all honesty, never seen before—especially with a black man in the starring role.
But what Luther did quite magnificently was, instead of focusing on race and discrimination within London and the police force, it chose to ignore the common stereotypes and the need to hyper-realise one’s ethnicity and culture. In every single series since its inception>>
Imho.
Greatest shows? Hahahahaha makes me laugh. This “copper” thinks he knows what’s best for everyone and while supposedly upholding law and order, goes around and breaks whatever laws he likes to get what he thinks is right done. He is no better than a street thug in a suit. No good police department would have him.
