'Luther' Season 5 Episode 1 Recap: Nailed It!
Idris Elba returns to the force once more in a new season of Luther, now with a new partner and a new criminal to take down.
Erroll: You've opened up a can of...not worms. Geese.
The new Luther Season 5 isn't interested in explaining things, or at least not explaining much if it can help it. As the show usually does, it drops viewers right into the middle of DCI Luther's current case, chasing down a young criminal in a shipping container yard. Meanwhile, somewhere else in the city, a young lady is walking home, and passing a group of hoodies on her way. One breaks away, following her home, but no, this isn't the sort of petty crime Luther is known for starting out with, so it's not that much a surprise to learn it's a fake out. She's a teacher, he's a wayward and stoned student. Unfortunately, he's doped up enough to decide to explore when he hears someone cry out across the street. Now the tables are turned, and it's the hoodie being pursued, having dropped his phone in terror, most likely to his doom.
