Luther is a psychological crime thriller featuring DCI John Luther, a brilliant detective whose passionate involvement in his work threatens to derail his personal life. Unlike any other drama each episode of this crime thriller opens by revealing a killer's identity.
After running across this thread, I located and binge watched all 4 seasons, just in the last couple weeks or so, and this show is terrifically entertaining, or maybe spell binding is the better term. When I was first introduced to the character Alice, I thought "What!? Are they crazy? Their favorite character?" but over time, I could see how you guys here came to like her. She is a strong character who has Luther's back, some self discipline, and discretion.
I did a net search and by all indications there may be a 5th season, but who knows when or how long it might be in the making. I hope it comes sooner rather than later.
Haha @ you guys that have the British/Americans dispute issues. You all remind me of this old song (and concept)
Thanks Spyder for linking me this thread (I *did* try to find this thread but apparently not hard enough) :)
I noticed that it says: "Status: Returning Series" but no more info....

ppl, there's also some GOOD news:
A day after Fox touted the development of a U.S. adaptation of British crime series “Luther,” BBC America has announced that the original iteration of the drama will return for a two-part miniseries in 2015.
Starring Idris Elba as DCI John Luther, the murder detective whose brilliant mind can't always save him from the dangerous violence of his passions, the new series is written by creator Neil Cross. “Luther” hails from BBC Drama Production and the new series will be co-produced with BBC America. Elizabeth Kilgarriff will oversee for BBC Drama.
In a statement on the BBC revival, Cross said, “Ever since we said goodbye to John Luther on Southwark Bridge, there's hardly been a minute when I didn't wonder what happened next. So I decided to find out. We're putting the band back together; Luther is coming back where he belongs. Back to the BBC. Back to London. And back to work.”
The two hourlong episodes will film in and around London in March, and the show is slated for a late 2015 premiere.
The U.S. adaptation has received a put pilot commitment from Fox. Elba is attached to executive produce alongside Cross but is not currently expected to star.
