Luther: To Hell – from March 10th

The rule is clear: cops wear a uniform, superheroes a costume. It doesn’t even need to repeat it. Unless the policeman in question is John Luther, Chief Inspector of London. He is a policeman, but the wool coat, which he wears in summer and winter, is like armor: it doesn’t give him superpowers, but without it he would feel lost. It has been like this for all five seasons of the “Luther” series and it is also like this in this new case, which arrives four years after the last episode of the series: after 20 episodes spread between 2010 and 2019, it’s time for the film “Luther: Into Hell,” available on Netflix starting March 10.
