Huh, so he's in that show Luther. I think I may or may not have heard of that show. Is it anything like the BBC's Sherlock in terms of quality? I saw the first 2 seasons of that show and loved it.
It's kinda hard to compare the two since Sherlock is a lot lighter-hearted and incorporates a lot of humor, whereas Luther is more serious in nature. Luther is pretty decent, although it starts off a bit rocky particularly the first episode.
Season 1 in general has a slightly different tone from the rest of the seasons, since it's the longest season (although it's *still* just 6 episodes) and, while each episode features a different villain, there's a stronger running continuity between episodes. The seasons afterward are 2-4 episodes long and each case is a 2-parter. The villains are also more colorful and interesting, from Punisher-style vigilantes to eccentric serial killers who hide in peoples' homes before finally killing them.
Also, when comparing the two shows, there's really very little mystery in Luther. Sherlock has some whodunnit episodes where suspects are interviewed and you're trying to find out the guilty party at the same time as the detective. Luther you kinda know who did it (or, at least, you see the culprits masked or otherwise) and the rest of the show is about bringing that person to justice
Cool, might check out a few episodes if I find it online. ---
