Luther - Season 3
The criminal events in the Luther series take place in a third season full of suspense. At the same time, Ripley is presented by the weary Erin Gray to the stuttering supervisor Stark, back from retirement, eager to nail Luther to kill people who do not get justice and take the law into his hands. Stark and Gray put a wire on Ripley while he and Luther were investigating a reckless murder on the Internet. Ripley's involvement with Eran Gray was confirmed to be his face and telling her not to use the sergeant in any vendetta against him. Luther discovers that Hollande was obsessed with a former murderer, William Carney, who is now humiliated in the care home. In addition, Carney was regularly visited by a mysterious man named Paul Ellis.

After watching tonight, you'll check under the bed before slipping under the covers.

A "season" of Luther feels brief, because it is. After a two-year wait, the whole thing begins and ends this week. But because it wastes none of that time, it also feels like we've been studying this guy for a long time.

It was clear from this opening scene that all the elements that made it one of the most worthwhile British imports had survived the two-year hiatus between seasons intact.

Elba makes Luther's haunted, lonely soul into something faceted and more sympathetic than most of TV's broody detectives.
September 04, 2013
The plotting is perfunctory at best, and woefully, repetitively tired at worst.

At this point, Luther is what it is, and we may be wishing we had it back if the film industry, which is doing its best to pry Elba away from TV, fails to use the actor's many skills to their fullest capacity.
September 03, 2013
Luther presents a problem for drama writers: Heal him and he's less interesting; perpetuate his damage and the show gets repetitive. Luther seems stuck in the latter cycle.

The season finale wasn't quite the explosive full-stop that we'd come to expect, but it was a nice rounding off to this chapter of the show. Whatever will they do next?
September 04, 2013
Sensationalism trumps subtlety once more. Both Luther and Idris Elba deserve so much more.
September 03, 2013
Luther is a great example of all of the annoying a TV show can do and still be worth watching, so long as it gets some essential things right.
