matthias s @Thescreenasvor 10/10/2024 *Luther* Season 5 brings back Idris Elba's gritty, intense detective for another gripping round. The dark atmosphere and high-stakes drama are as thrilling as ever, with Elba delivering a powerhouse performance that keeps you hooked. The villain is chilling, and the psychological tension is on point, but the plot sometimes feels a bit too chaotic and rushed. That said, the explosive action and compelling character dynamics make up for it, creating an edge-of-your-seat season. It’s not the strongest of the series, but it’s a solid and entertaining ride for any *Luther* fan.

As a result, the ending as an attempt to cleverly mirror our first case with Luther, comes across as less thrilling than it should be See more Jorge M @Jorge199999 09/03/2022 I need one more season.. See more 02/22/2021 It's dark. Really dark. But the coolest serial killer case in history. Plus Elba is incredible as usual. Not for the faint of heart though. Wouldn't recommend to my church buddies. See more r 9 @RT00952237 09/26/2020 I enjoyed season five of 'Luther'. It isn't perfect, but it delivers the desired amount of entertainment. Idris Elba remains brilliant as the titular character. I wouldn't say any of the other cast members particularly stand out to an incredible degree, barring one or two who are good. The four episodes are all paced fairly well, sometimes the show - at least over the last few seasons - does move slower than you'd expect; not slow enough that I'd describe them as a drag or anything close to that, I just feel they could pick up the pace ever so slightly. With that said, some events that take place do seem to be included just to add shock value; it can feel a little less well written in those moments, at least compared to what we've been accustomed to across the opening season or two. Nonetheless, I still enjoyed S5 - I'd probably rank it as my third favourite so far, behind S1/2 but ahead of S3/4; though it's a toss-up between S3 and S5.

Series 5 on the other hand completely jumped the shark and was a load of (entertaining) nonsense. See more Read all reviews
