With the exception of the hammy acting by Luther's female boss, I'd say the series is bloody excellent. Lots of mini-stories running through the main weekly story and some gripping, truly scary scenes. I'm not normally a fan of this kind of thing, especially from the BBC...but this is great.

Idris Elba won praise on The Wire and I'm wondering if he'd had some input into the program, or has brought over some of the directing / scripting influences.

yep. First UK drama that I have enjoyed in a long time.

He's associate producer as well as the lead role.

It is good.

I thought the final episode was slightly disappointing, but otherwise an excellent series.

I'd bin the woman who plays Luther's boss though, she's awful.
