Luther: The Fallen Sun

by Neil Cross; dir. Jamie Payne (Netflix, 2023)

The manipulative, ‘hands off’ serial killer offers a point of difference (Andy Serkis, smilingly psychopathic).

Luther, Series 5

by Neil Cross; dir. Jamie Payne (BBC, 2019)

Luther comes full circle in this spiralling 4-part finale. The tone of previous series is maintained—the darkness of London as a killing field; Luther’s restless inner turmoil—and there are gripping performances cast-wide: Ruth Wilson; Dermot Crowley; Patrick Malahide; Enzo Cilenti.
