Luther: The Fallen Sun

The storyline started off well but rapidly became ridiculous and unbelievable.

You can tell this was a Netflix effort. Many of the cast were given American English dialect lines to recite saying things that no-one over here would ever say.

Presumably all the English actors and BBC crew (and Dermot Crowley) kept quiet or were shouted down.

Allow me to translate the dialogue back into English from England.

Cell phone = mobile phone, or just phone would have done

Burner = Pay as you go phone

We can't raise the boss = we can't contact / get hold of the boss

We are a mile and a half out = We are a mile and a half away

Kerosene = paraffin

Conniptions !!! In 59 years of living in England I have never heard this word and had to look it up. No one this side of the Atlantic will know what it means and no English person would have used it.

And finally, Dover ferries go to France. They don't go to Norway. Same goes for the helicopter coming back. It would have had to leave Norway heading south, fly over Denmark, Germany, Holland, Belgium and France and then turn north to fly over the white cliffs into England!
