Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 09/28/24 Full Review David C A few smaller stories intermingle through this series, as opposed to one overarching story. It's thrilling, and there are twists enough to keep you happy Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/28/23 Full Review S M Raisul I Still stupid, still makes no sense. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Audience Member Despite my high rating i do have a few problems with this season. Though Idris Elba is still incredible, this show seems determined with taking literally everything from the protagonist to a point where, in this season more than any other, it borders on mean spirited. Therefore it doesn't help if the case for the first two episodes is boring in one scene and overly scary in another. Even with all these factors, the second two episodes are vastly better. And ultimately this season retains most of this shows core strength like it's superb ensemble and acting as well as great tension even if im dissapointed, that the Jenny Storyline from season 2 is being ignored entirely. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member Very bad incompetent police work Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review r 9 The weakest of the opening three seasons of 'Luther', but that's not to say it's a bad one - the opposite, it's a very good third coming. Not much more needs to be said about Idris Elba, he is yet again the key to the show and gives a hat-trick of superb performances. As for those around Elba, Warren Brown continues to be enjoyable as Ripley, as do Dermot Crowley (Schenk) and Michael Smiley (Benny). Nikki Amuka-Bird continues too. I still like her as an actress, but man does her character continue to irritate - Gray goes full-on hypocrite this season. She's joined by Stark (David O'Hara), who is like a Mini-Me in terms of what I found annoying about Gray in S2. Stark should be one of those characters you love to hate, kinda like Alice (Ruth Wilson) in the earlier seasons, but he's just simply irritating to see - at least to me. I found myself unappeased with a few of the storylines here, which is something that I didn't feel across S1/2. It's not that any of the plots are disappointing or negative, they just unfold in a way that allows me to be questionable about them. The final episode is fantastic, but the one or two before aren't as great as what we've seen before from this show - probably a victim of its own success more than anything, given how utterly brilliant the preceding load of episodes have been. I want to make it clear - I thoroughly enjoyed this when all is said and done, despite some (pretty minor) issues as mentioned. No matter what, I'm buzzing to watch the next two seasons.
