Luther is a deeply thrilling 6 part crime series, crackling with energy and distinctive characters. On a moral crusade, John Luther is a deeply troubled man, a philosophical cop possessed by the issues of evil and of justice in a Godless world. Confronting depravity in its many terrible forms, over a succession of psychological duels between hunter and hunted, perpetrator and prey, Luther reveals his capacity for violence as well as kindness. As the stakes get ever higher and more personal, Luther's lonely path pulls him towards the very edge of temptation. Will the relentless pursuit of light tip him into the ultimate darkness?
