I loved the first television series of this gritty and challenging police drama. Sadly, now we have reached a nadir for this charismatic and unorthodox character. The story is so ridiculously far-fetched that it reminded me of something Mark Gatiss might have written for "Sherlock" before he watched "No Time To Die" (2021) and thought - nah! It all starts when youngster "Callum" is dragged away from his night-time…

Luther is, for my money, one of the best things to come out of the UK, in a long time. I was therefore more than a little cynical, when I spied a film adaptation of the obsessively watchable, series. To be frank, the back story is absurdly far fetched but somehow it "works". In essence, I'd describe it as a pastiche, of borrowed elements, from the series, that have been thrown together, in an inexplicable, crime…

Love the series, now I love the film. Took me way too long to get this watched, been on my immediate watchlist ever since its release well over a year ago; in fairness, I was avoiding Netflix due to their prices, but got a good deal with 'em atm. This is classed as a crime thriller and it certainly thrilled me, I had a great time with it. Really enjoyed seeing the story come together. Sometimes these sorta movies…
