His dedication is a curse and a blessing, both for him and those close to him.[/size][/font][/color] [font="sans-serif"][size="2"][color="#000000"]Here is a link to part to the trailer for the BBC America arrival, considering it's much better than the British ones IMO [/color][/size][/font][url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u3A2MpAkkD8"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u3A2MpAkkD8[/url] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dismal Euphony Posted August 1, 2012 Report Share Posted August 1, 2012 I can't believe no one has responded to this... I watched both seasons all in one day. This show is absolutely amazing. Idris Elba is astronomically talented. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tormented Posted August 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2012 Agreed, Season 3 comes to the UK soonish, actually genuinely peeing my pants at how amazing it is. The funny thing is, that he actually plays the role AMAZINGLY well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dismal Euphony Posted August 1, 2012 Report Share Posted August 1, 2012 I'm patiently awaiting season three's premiere in America. Needless to say, I will fangirl and die midway through the episode--and it will be completely worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tormented Posted August 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2012 Oh yes, I love how Luther has some extremely amazing plot twists and psychological effects, like your brain tries to work out the crimes as well as Luther's . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dismal Euphony Posted August 1, 2012 Report Share Posted August 1, 2012 I love how, on top of the plot twists and excitement, Idris Elba's incredible acting draws you in and you become emotionally tied to his character. Every hardship he faces, every spark of joy or happiness, every demon that eats away at his mind, you feel ALL of it. It's truly a brilliant show.

Tormented Posted August 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2012 I must find out the writers name, no doubt there are more of this magnificent stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
