Luther: The Fallen Sun Ratings & Reviews
- neuroparadox1d agoBefore you ask: No, you don't need have to watched the show at all. Just picture the brand new concept of a cop who doesn't play by the rules (if you can!) If anything, this is a weaker entry in a stronger series that hopefully gateways you to the original. That being said, it's still a very good thriller on its own merit!... Albeit there are some scenes in the last 25 minutes that require some pretty eye-rolling suspension-of-disbelief of how fire and, now that you mention it, water work. 🙄

- Kevin WardJuly 3, 2025I had never seen the show. In fact, I didn’t know this was based on a show until after I had finished watching this. This was an exceptionally well conceived crime thriller with some surprisingly high production values and some gorgeous locations including a frost mansion that looked like it was plucked directly from a Bond film. Elba is a fantastic leading man, as always. Andy Serkis is a chilling and deranged killer who’s outrageous wig has to be seen to be believed. It’s practically a must watch for the wig alone. Cynthia Erivo is really fantastic as well. Was honestly very surprised at how good this was given how little buzz I’ve heard about it. Again, I never watched the show so I don’t know how well it fits in with that narrative, but I found this very enjoyable on it’s own.
