It's so fast paced as well, each case could be a whole 12 episode season of some other show but it just keeps thundering on. If that's grounds for criticism, then that would also apply to Murder, She Wrote and Columbo, so your logic is obviously faulty.
Also, I can recognise all the locations straight away (apart from where the foot fetishist goes cray fishing in S3).
I think it took me a while to get into it because I kept picking holes in it, then I just got caught up and now I think it's great. Amazing supporting cast body count as well, it's worse than GoT!
I did a masters about East German history and for the first 5 minutes of Deutschland 83 I sat there thinking 'no, no, this is all wrong...'
Then I realised it was fun and that didn't matter.

People have been telling me to watch Luther for a while...finally got round to watching the first 3 episodes.
It's so basic. How can everyone think so much of it?
Some of the acting is appalling, the plots are wafer thin, the characters are so 2d and in terms of case solving it just leaps from one assumption to another. Am I missing something? Does it turn into The Wire in season 2?
