I quite enjoyed Series 2. The finale was a bit OTT but in general the whole thing was interesting.

First 2 episodes of Season 3 have been top-notch. Idris is amazing and the cinematography is killer.

The first season is great, and then it starts to trail off in the second. We're into the third and it's OK, but too self-consciously and relentlessly dark without the snarky humour to undercut it.

Series 3 will be the last. But there is a movie in the works. There are also whispers of a show featuring Alice.

I mean it's really meh to me. It seems like it takes itself so seriously, but the 3 cases the first 3 episodes feel so far over the top.

Not to mention, the entire police force feels insanely incompetent.

It's kind of meant to be OTT and overwrought. A nice change from most British crime shows which are bland bland bland and nothing happens except people talking to each other drinking wine. There are quite a lot of nice X-Files nods on Luther. I got a bit bored after enjoying Season One though.

The Wire didn't need "over the top." True Detective doesn't need "over the top."

I see Skitch's point, but I kinda looked at this show as a showcase for Idris and I think he's thrilling to watch. I also think the cases get better in the later seasons.
