Luther (2010)

This series is to BBC what Terriers is to FX and Fox. Good guys doing bad things for all the right reasons. I love it. Three words could describe this series. Wicked. Smart. Addictive. I can't stop watching. Seriously.

Deliciously wicked because, while all the regular characters are more or less loveable, they are deeply flawed and guilty of, what in this country would be, felonies. Perfect.

Cunningly smart because a few of the characters are truly genius. The dialogue is quick and limited to only that which is necessary. There is no idle banter. Every word means something.

Addictive because the clever people at "The Beebe" give just enough of a glimpse of the next episode while the end credits play to make ones imagination soar and mouth water. Well done.

Bottom line, this is very well done television.

Idris Elba, Ruth Wilson, Warren Brown, and Indira Varma are brilliant. I can't say enough very nice things about this cast.

Watch this series with your favorite crime solving friends.
