I’ve binge-watched Luther and never noticed any problems. Supernatural is a great show, iZombie is a great show, pretty much that’s it on this side of the world, Rizzoli and Isles is pretty OK, and Brooklyn Nine-Nine has its moments. Other than that BBC America is the thing to watch. TV seems to be full of boring shows that are predictable, preachy, and juvenile. They appear to be assembled like legos, and then glitter-bombed with whathaveyou. Two words for you, “Sleepy Hollow.”

I hate to admit it, but I generally prefer British shows to the overwrought crap the American networks put on. Downton Abby, Selfridge, Doc Martin, The Coroner, and others avoid the putrid melodrama of garage like Scandal and How to Get Away With Murder. That being said, while Elba is a great actor, Luther wades further into that wretched refuse that most British shows.

Luther does NO police work. He doesn’t run down leads, rifle through old mug shots, or anything real cops do. No, he finds the perp by watching to see if the suspect blinks or not. And that ridiculous would be lover who killed her parents and got away with it. Because no one found the bullet in the dead dog. The entire show would have been better without her absurd character.

Luther has a good premise, some good actors, but suffers from one of the worst sins a show can commit. Characters who don’t act like real people.
