You don’t understand love […] you can mimic it, you can recognize it in others, but you can never understand it.
Is this it? Love?
Yes.

Having never seen a single episode of the TV series, I went into this movie completely blind.
Saying that; I really enjoyed this movie and now want to watch the TV series from the beginning.

Pros: Idris Elba, Andy Serkis, thrilling last act. Cons: Part of a TV series, contrivances, lack of character arcs.
Luther: The Fallen Sun is a 2023 crime thriller film directed by Jamie Payne and written by Neil Cross. It serves as a film continuation of the 2010–19 British television series of the same name. The film stars Idris Elba (who also serves as a producer on the film), reprising his role as John Luther, with Cynthia Erivo and Andy Serkis.

Watching Luther for the first time and I'm on episode 1. Here are first impressions. God I love the editing and filming in this show. It's use of jarring crosses of the 180 line and really odd camera framing is brilliant. Idris Elba should of been a bigger part of the mcu what an amazing actor. How does Ruth Wilson only have like 30 imdb credits she's amazing in everything I've ever seen her in and this is no exception. I am very hooked on this show. The tension is delicious.

After watching Luther: Fallen Sun, I started rewatching the entire series and I have apparently spent years, years believing that the diamonds Alice was trying to liquidate so she and Luther could sale off into the sunset were the diamonds from series 1. But it only just hit me that they couldn't possibly be. Not just because those diamonds cost Zoe her life, but because they would never have been able to prove the case against Reed and clear John of Zoe's murder without them.
I'm still more than a bit annoyed that apart from the two flashbacks we never actually get to see the two of them together. She is my favourite fictional femme fatal possibly of all time and I'm really glad that the writer has confirmed that Alice is out there alive still, despite the travesty that was the final episode of series 5 that I like to pretend doesn't exist on account of it's so genuinely and ridiculously out of character and silly and makes no sense and is an absolute waste of a perfectly good Wunmi Mosaku.
Anyway, I really do think the series too is the best from start to finish, series 3 does have the most emotionally satisfying through-lines. If the show had never come back after series 3 I would have been completely satisfied. As a matter of fact if the show had never come back after series 4, I would have been completely satisfied although I may not feel that way once I rewatch series 4 because I only vaguely remember it whereas series 1 is burned into my memory forever.
I always used to joke that Luther is the BBC making an American style police procedural, including the incredulous ridiculous over the topness. but Idris Elba just sells it. All of it. It's an extraordinary performance all the way through, even the bits that I don't like I can't deny are really well done.
I loved Justin Ripley quite desperately and it makes me sad deep in my soul that we never really learned much about him outside of the job.
