Luther
What if your worst enemy was your own conscience?
Created by Neil Cross
On BBC One
A taut psychological thriller that treats its detective protagonist as morally compromised as the killers he pursues, sustained across 20 episodes by interior dread rather than plot momentum.
A dark psychological crime drama starring Idris Elba as Luther, a man struggling with his own terrible demons, who might be as dangerous as the depraved murderers he hunts.
