The second instalment of the new series sees what started as a fairly narrow story opening up around John Luther (Idris Elba) as he searches for salvation amid the wreckage of his private life and the darkness that his life as a policeman brings him into incessant contact with.
In the second instalment of Luther’s new series, featuring Idris Elba as DCI John Luther, serial killer Cameron Pell has taken a police officer hostage – but what is the deranged former art’s student’s real plan?
‘It’s all very soul destroying, isn’t it – actual police work?’ remarks DCI John Luther to his protégé DS Justin Ripley at the beginning of Episode 1 of this new series.
