Gritty and highly intelligent, Luther was a true gem amongst the stones of television shows. The British TV series crept onto screens in 2010 and was broadcast on BBC One. Like many BBC shows, Luther had relatively few episodes (six in Series One, and four in Series Two and Three), but every episode was packed full of quality; at every corner there was a different twist or turn, a new, exciting character was introduced or re-appeared and there was never a dull moment throughout the three series. Luther is perhaps one of those shows where you are truly sad that it was so short-lived, as it had so much potential to be even better and long-lasting, but considering how long production took for the episodes (there was a two year gap between series two and three) it almost seemed inevitable that it would come to a close.
