    Good, but not awesome.
    The BBC-produced thriller series Luther tells the story of London cop John Luther, who has an incredible talent for solving cases. However, his means of doing so are not always legal and his own demons threaten to stab him in the back.

    Personally, I find "Luther" quite exciting, because varied cases are presented here and the main actor also cuts a good figure.

    Very exciting at the beginning, then it weakens a bit, but the series finale convinces again.

    I have to get to 600 Characters, so here are some random facts:
    • Some cats are actually allergic to humans.


    • New York was briefly named "New Orange."
    • You might be drinking water that is older than the solar system.
