WHAT ARE PEOPLE SAYING?
Feel very mixed about the last two seasons, but I love seasons one to three: the relationship between Luther and Alice Morgan (who Ruth Wilson does an AMAZING job of playing) is a completely unique villain/hero dynamic that is perfectly tonally pitched, though other the parts of the series can sometimes veer a little into overdark melodrama.
