Luther... addictive trash of a high order. Everything about it is wildly over the top yet somehow played out in a serious, downbeat way. I really liked the first few episodes when cast members spend more time sounding like forensic psychology books, barking out chunks of text rather than normal speech patterns at each other. Cannibals, vampires, homicidal gamers, and cop killers are just a few of the criminals who Luther faces while everyone around him dies. Worth watching alone for the ever excellent Stephen Macintosh, one of my favourite TV actors, who is the greatest "weak man" actor going.
