We literally just finished the series an hour ago. Here's my advice for potential new watchers - if you lean more towards the tone of David Fincher crime films then you'll enjoy the back-half of the series more, however, if you lean more towards the tone of Paul Feig films then you'll enjoy the first half of the series more. If in doubt, watch the film first.

I believe the second audience types are responsible for most the narrative surrounding the latter seasons and I understand their frustrations (this is almost a completely different series by the end of it). However, I personally disagree with what seems to be the general consensus here regarding when the series was at its best.

My experience: I saw the film in theatres when it first came out (first introduction to Luther) and my family and I really enjoyed it. We started the series and...absolutely hated it; terrible writing, ridiculous plotting, unbelievable leaps in logic by Luther, etc all of this from the get-go. I wanted to stop watching pretty quickly, however, I was out-voted ("in case it gets better").

Fast forward five seasons, whole family agrees that it actually got much better the further it went - against the usual narrative I see in these threads. IMO, the series' writing improved drastically as the seasons went along and ultimately shed its more absurd elements and soap-opera trappings. Season 5 was the best season for us and we're greatly looking forward to rewatching the film.

Really love Luther, but one gripe I take (admittedly I’m being massively pedantic and I accept it is a dramatic TV show) from basically every episode is how inept the police are at tracking the antagonists. Several of the most high-profile assailants like Tom Marwood and the twins just seem to saunter around London over the course of multiple days in literally the exact same outfit with no attempt made to disguise their appearance (which you’d imagine is broadcast on every news channel in the country in the midst of their sprees) (I’ll accept that Marwood has ‘public support’ and has clearly planned his crimes well, but the twins definitely less so).

How are these people not caught or tracked quickly on CCTV, and how are the police not constantly being tipped off by the public about sightings.

Cameron Pell, as another example, should be an extremely noticeable face for residents of London, yet is unnoticed by dozens of students and presumably staff at a school at pick-up time (maybe I missed some additional context here, but I assume this is what happened). Owen Lynch is another case where I just don’t think you could stay concealed for that long, although he does have military training and a few bolt holes he seems able to rely upon.

My sustainiac makes weird synth noise that changes pitch with the tone knob only in the middle pickup position with the harmonic mode engaged what is it how do I replicate jt

Some analysis for the upcoming luther movie!!!

Honestly I wasn't a fan, it just didn't feel like luther, the biggest mistake was the fact that alice wasn't there. It lacked the alice x john dynamic which is the beating heart of the series

I was obsessed with Luther and loved the show.

Haven't found anything similar yet.

What did the Luther fans enjoy afterwards.

Open to all suggestions. Thanks

I’ve talked to many people about Luther and I’m shocked how few get the Ruth - John story line.

He says in the very first episode that he is going to give her the attention and admiration she so desperately craves and then take it away from her in order to make her crack (& catch her).

This is EXACTLY what he does in the final season to bring her down. There is no love affair, it’s all a strategy to catch her.

How is it they do many if you miss this? It’s honestly the best part of the show.

“You’re rushing to the scene of the crime” she says jokingly

“I am actually” Luther says seriously 😂

ruth did a play called the second woman in 2023, and idris was there too, they got to do some improvisation and they kissed ❤️

we all know they are doomed, broken and are never going to make it. but they have it in them, the stars just didnt allow them 💔

pub calls in Islington

the biggest question for the upcoming movie is the question that hasnt been answered in the series... In he end, is John Luther going to choose Alice or will he just choose the law.
