Luther is a British crime drama series that debuted on television on May 4, 2010 for a six episode 1 hour long series. The show finished its third season in 2013. However in November of 2014 it was announced that a 2 episode special series would take place in 2015. The show was very popular and one of the most watched shows in the country of England. The show focuses on John Luther who is a Detective Chief Inspector (DCI) working for the Serious Crime Unit in series one, and the new Serious and Serial Crime Unit in series two and three. A dedicated police officer, Mr Luther is obsessive, possessed, and sometimes dangerous in the violence of his fixations. However, Luther has paid a heavy price for his dedication; he has never been able to prevent himself from being consumed by the darkness of the crimes with which he deals. For Luther, the job always comes first. His dedication is a curse and a blessing, both for him and those close to him. He is unable to arrest Alice Morgan, the murderer in the first episode, and for the rest of the first series she becomes his confidante, giving him an insight into the motivations of other criminals.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bmy62bTeakg
The show has gained very positive reviews since its very first episode back in 2010. Rotten Tomatoes gave this show a 95% approval rating. IMDB rated the show an 8.6 out of 10. Metacritic gave the show a 83% approval rating overall. And Common Sense Media gave the show a 4 out of 5 star review.
This show seems to me like a great action packed drama that can hold my attention for a while. This show has a sense of one show that I do watch which is "The Blacklist" As I watch more and more trailers of this show I can see this show being picked back up permanently and eventually being picked up by an American TV station. This is a very interesting and great show that for some reason got dropped in 2013 but I think it is great that the British TV company is picking it back up for a special series
