I've been enjoying the subtle humor, English voices in these BBC series. Luther is entertaining and intense. Wrong can seem right and right can seem wrong. One might questions one's values.

Liked Idris Elba’s “big” screen presence in “Dark Tower 2017“and “No Good Deed 2014” but not so much in “100 Streets 2017.” In this BBC TV series, he played a highly intuitive London DCI who is at times super gentle and at times super…

I typically prefer comedy series, but this incredibly dark and violent British drama hooked me with great acting and writing as well as its look. It deals with the dark side of humanity much more than any other series I watch, but the…

On the whole.. quite good. But, there are huge holes in the stories. Maybe just a difference in British policing practices, but, compared to N. American operating procedures... the Brit's S.O.P's are almost laughable. Not sure if this is…

Loved this gritty brief series. I'm squeamish when it comes to violent crime stories and typically don't watch unless they are also somewhat humorous. This series didn't disappoint. Rarely (if at all) did they show actual violence; it…

One of the best shows out there. All the characters are so intriguing and complex. I pretty much watched all three seasons in a row 'cause it is so good!

Who doesn't think Idris Elba is one of the sexiest men alive? That velvety London rasp just makes it all the better. That being said, i just couldn't get into this one. I wanted to (beLIEVE me i wanted to) but the pacing was off and…

The final 4 episodes of the series. Pretty much as the other two DVDs the content is violent but the story is interesting. I like the characters and the story development. The acting is quite good too.
