Doctor Who, Sherlock, and Peaky Blinders prove that British shows make for some of the best television on the air. Neil Cross's Luther is no exception. The show premiered on the BBC in 2010 and ran for five seasons before getting its own feature film.It's a psychological crime thriller that grips its audience from the opening scene and never lets go. It's not the first of its kind, but it's one of the most compelling iterations in the genre out there.
