At the Edgar Awards back in April I sat up in my chair when the award for best teleplay went to a British TV show which I had never seen and about which I knew next to nothing. Since the spring, I have discovered the dark pleasures of watching Luther myself and am looking forward to the American premiere of season 2 on September 28.
If you haven't seen the show before, you can currently stream the first season on Netflix. It's violent and disturbing, but Idris Elba and Ruth Wilson turn in great performances.
