Résumés(1)
A self-destructive near-genius, Luther might just be as dangerous as the depraved criminals he hunts. Luther follows his own moral code as much as the rules of criminal law. But he quickly becomes locked in a lethal battle of wits with Alice (Ruth Wilson), a beautiful, highly intelligent mass murderer, and his decision-making process becomes increasingly murky. The strain begins to tell as he's drawn deeper and deeper into a series of horrific murders, and the shadow of a former case threatens to bring him down. Forced to face his own capacity for violence, he struggles with why his wife left him and what draws him to Alice. As the stakes get higher and more personal, Luther's lonely path pulls him towards the very edge of temptation. (texte officiel du distributeur)

Luther (2010)
It doesn’t often happen that I get sucked in after the first couple of minutes (and I was purring with delight during the first conversation). So far, Luther is the series for me. Season one: A great atmosphere, interesting story, quality acting performances. Despite a bit of a kicking (and one very weak episode), overall this is an above-average work, especially for Brits. If it weren’t for Idris “String" Elba, I wouldn’t have even come across Luther, but it would be a shame if this mix of Colombo, Dexter etc. went unnoticed. I look forward to the next season. Season two: Convincing killers (both of the three) and their intriguing introduction are a great plus for season two. Or four-part miniseries, or whatever. The non-crime storyline isn’t bad, but why Luther tied such a millstone around his neck, I can’t begin to fathom. The fact is that it worked out superbly. The only character I miss is Alice who had the cheek to take a holiday. I hope we see her return. Season three: Maybe the best season so far. I like the new girl, Mary, who is a fine complement for John. The murderer in the second half is superb at the beginning, but in the last episode he goes a little crazy or something and all of his unpleasantness flies out the window. All of the twists in Luther are just too much and lack logic, but people rarely act logically, do they? But mainly! Alice is back. Oh, and if you ever betray him like this again, I'll kill you. And eat you. Darn, just now I found out that there will be no next episode. John is certainly quitting when he’s ahead and it was a superb ride.
