Luther tv show
Luther is a tv show that started out so promising but fell apart by season 2! It is a black, intelligent, police officer who lives by real life rules rather then paper ones. It made it interesting to watch.
The first case hooked you and you had to see where it would take us next. The main villain was interesting and looked like she could be Liv Tylers sister or daughter. She made the character interesting, just enough creep to go with her beauty.
The new young partner is what we hope all cops will be like! Intelligent and loyal and dedicated. The boss lady started out very good but then they wrote her awful and she goes sort of crazy but I blame that on the British system in general and how it treats woman.
His wife/ex wife is an interesting mix and shows the depths that love has. While you can love someone to death you just cant be with them, so believable. She played the part very well and we all rooted for her, whichever she decides to choose.
Her lover looked weak in the face and I am not sure if she chose him for that reason, something totally different then her husband. Not as intense, someone to be there each night.
John Luther is an interesting character who showed us how hard it is to be so good at the job that you lose a lot. He develops a strange relationship with the main villain, Alice. I do not think they trust each other but something resonates between them, not chemistry exactly but more like static charge.
The cases are believable but, as is the trend, it began to get "edgy". I hate that so much, when they ruin a good show with that bs! I know there is pain involved in the death of the people, but I have zero interest in seeing or hearing it happen! That is a distinctly British thing, defining them as a nation where pain and humiliation for woman is a common theme. But the show does do stupid choices to move the plot along.
I think it is sad when they need to show bad choices to get the plot where they want it to be. I say hire a better writer! The crack tactical squad rushes into a building without even checking for traps! I doubt that would happen in real life yet they wrote it like that. I guess to show their eagerness to catch a cop killer.
It is weird because his wife is his source of strength and frustration and can anger him like no one else. She naturally chooses the other guy who is there for her though we know she loves Luther deeply and truly. Her boyfriend knows it too. It makes for an interesting personal life except they cut it off by the end of season 1.
His wife dies and his lady cop boss goes insane trying to harm him after fighting for him for so long. It is not believable and I think written to make the young partner's loyalty stand out. But it ruined the show for me. Not only does 2 of the 3 females in the show go away but the super creepy white guy is now his boss. The case is super disgusting too, and I turned it off never to watch the show again. A young girl is dragged into the sadistic world of drugs and porn for white man's pleasure and put on the web for other white men to enjoy. Super disgusting but fits with how they actually are. I am from Alaska and we have too many of them here illegally stealing or resources (committing war crimes brazenly and trusting to greed to win the day for them).
So I say don't bother past season 1 if decency matters to you! I see it has gone for many more seasons, which does not surprise me as they take a show you like then ruin it with their tricks to make you desensitized and idiotic. Lol, no, I do not like countries who brazenly commit war crimes like the British/ Europeans do. While their tv shows can be interesting it often gets ruined for me. I may look up the show again in a few years and read the plots for later seasons but doubt I will watch any more of it now... Choices have consequences and they lost me...

Man, that really sounds British, too bad these promising shows turn out to be disgusting or bad writing.
