      What to Know

      Critics Consensus

      Idris Elba remains the best thing about Luther in an all-too-brief season which packs a lot of plot into a short time frame.

      David C It's solid enough, but at only two episodes it's a bit short. There's a lot to enjoy and unpack though, so they do their job well Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/28/23 Full Review Rais E Short and still pretty stupid. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review whosmirko - Luther: Season 4: 4 / 10 Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review r 9 A two-episode fourth season of 'Luther'. It's peculiarly short, reportedly due to time constraints, as such I wasn't truly able to connect to any of the events onscreen. I still enjoyed what I saw and what they give, but it does feel a tad rushed/undercooked. A decent chunk of episode one focuses on new characters as opposed to Luther himself, which didn't feel right - though by the end, it was good that we got to know the characters of Rose Leslie and Darren Boyd. Laura Haddock's role isn't the best, I didn't connect with Megan to be honest. I did enjoy Patrick Malahide as Cornelius though. Basically, in short, I rated the stuff involving Leslie and Boyd but the one about Luther and his own story wasn't that massively interesting to me. It's a season that still has its moments but is definitely hampered by the 120 minute run time, with the aforementioned premise involving Leslie and Boyd concluding kinda abruptly. Still, Idris Elba is a big enough reason to watch, he's great again. I remain excited for season five.

      Matthew Gilbert Boston Globe Luther, whose first season remains its best, is going on too long. Time to let the weary detective return to his cottage and ponder the waves. Dec 21, 2015 Full Review Benji Wilson Daily Telegraph (UK) I hope that episode two slows things down. When you have a character as good as John Luther, and an actor playing him who basically is that man, it would be nice to spend a little more time in his company. Rated: 3/5 Dec 17, 2015 Full Review Stuart Heritage Guardian The middle of everything, Idris Elba was as good as he's ever been. Despite everything that's happened to him lately -- despite Marvel and Mandela and Beasts of No Nation -- I'd argue that Luther still represents Elba at his absolute best. Dec 17, 2015 Full Review Elizabeth Day Observer (UK) I didn't really mind not knowing what was going on because I was mostly just watching Elba. Dec 30, 2015 Full Review Kevin Yeoman Screen Rant In the end, as Luther walks toward the camera, his trademark trench coat, steely gaze, and a musical cue from The Cure the only accessories he needs, Luther is successful in that is leaves the audience hungry for more. Dec 20, 2015 Full Review Morgan Jeffery Digital Spy This new two-parter looks unlikely to reinvent the wheel, but for sheer entertainment value, there are still few drama series that can hope to match John's exploits.
