"Luther" (BBC America TV show) is a crime drama starring Emmy nominee Idris Elba as Detective Chief Inspector John Luther, the super-intuitive detective struggling to cope with his own demons. Season 2 is comprised of four parts and features two new distinctive thrilling crime stories, from creator and acclaimed suspense novelist Neil Cross.
Following the brutal murder of his wife, John Luther is devastated, but still standing. With his old unit gone, he returns to policing at the newly created
Serious and Serial Unit, headed by former police complaints officer Martin Schenk (Dermot Crowley, "Babel," "Bleak House"). He quickly gathers together his team, rescuing his old partner Detective Justin Ripley (Warren Brown, "Occupation," "Shameless") from uniform. It's not long before they're dealing with their first case. A masked man wanders the streets of London, carrying out ritualistic murders in historic locations, working his way up to one final masterpiece. At the same time Luther's trying to rescue Jenny, an old acquaintance's daughter from the seedy world of prostitution. But his mission to give Jenny a new start in life comes with a high price and he's caught between breaking the rules and the mobsters that rule the world of prostitution in London.
