More Critic Reviews for Luther Season 5 All Critics (35) | Top Critics (8) | Fresh (30) | Rotten (5) Five seasons in, it is, as Halliday calls it, a "psycho-sexual jamboree", but we're still jumping in our seats. Feb 13, 2019 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review… Antonia Cundy Financial Times Top Critic Almost eight years on, Luther remains a terrific series, one of intensity that still brings special moments of visual and theatrical virtuosity. Feb 8, 2019 | Full Review… Graeme Blundell The Australian Top Critic It veered dangerously close to torture porn at times, with lingering shots of stab wounds and severed extremities. Jan 2, 2019 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review… Michael Hogan Daily Telegraph (UK) Top Critic Luther only makes it to air every few years, often doing so without Alice, an enormous part of the show's dynamism. What a relief, then, to see her return in the new series Jan 2, 2019 | Full Review… Anna Leszkiewicz New Statesman Top Critic Luther is at its worst, and at its best, when it is overbearing in its pessimism. The series puts its characters through the meat grinder...by design, Luther bums the viewer out. Jun 19, 2019 | Full Review… Justin Charity The Ringer Two of the hottest stars on cable TV are back together: Idris Elba and Ruth Wilson as his ex-girlfriend Alice. But wasn't she presumed dead? So we thought, but now she's back, bad as ever! Jun 19, 2019 | Full Review… Tim Appelo AARP Movies for Grownups It's been four years since the two-episode fourth season of Luther, and nine years since Ruth Wilson's Alice Morgan got a full-fledged arc in a Luther season, which may be why season five is the best Luther season since at least the second. Jun 17, 2019 | Full Review… Dustin Rowles Pajiba Nailed It! Jun 11, 2019 | Full Review… Ani Bundel WETA "Luther" is so well-done that even moments that suspend belief come across as stylish and disturbing. Jun 6, 2019 | Full Review… Alci Rengifo Entertainment Voice Elba has referred to "Luther" as his James Bond. If there is another chapter, the franchise needs a reboot. Jun 4, 2019 | Rating: C+ | Full Review… Mark A. Perigard Boston Herald View All Critic Reviews (35) Audience Reviews for Luther: Season 5 Jul 07, 2019 Incredible Writing, and the continuation of a power house performance by Idris Elba. Giancarlo S Jul 01, 2019 A step down but still VERY well done Vincent H Jun 27, 2019 I do not understand how they can have such great acting and such a terrible script! They made Alison a terrible character and she is such a attribute to this show, went bring her back if you were going to mess up so bad. I am pressed that I have this show another season after the last. It will go down as the show that should have been amazing.
