Tambay Obenson IndieWire Tautly paced, intriguing, and full of even more personal stakes, the season ends tragically and beautifully in its own way. Rated: B •  Dec 10, 2019 Full Review Steven Nguyen Scaife Slant Magazine In its fifth season, the series does little more for viewers than leave them numb. Rated: 1/4 •  Jun 3, 2019 Full Review

matthias s *Luther* Season 5 brings back Idris Elba's gritty, intense detective for another gripping round. The dark atmosphere and high-stakes drama are as thrilling as ever, with Elba delivering a powerhouse performance that keeps you hooked. The villain is chilling, and the psychological tension is on point, but the plot sometimes feels a bit too chaotic and rushed. That said, the explosive action and compelling character dynamics make up for it, creating an edge-of-your-seat season. It’s not the strongest of the series, but it’s a solid and entertaining ride for any *Luther* fan. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 10/10/24 Full Review David C Both good and bad, but overall it seems a little lacklustre in its delivery. As a result, the ending as an attempt to cleverly mirror our first case with Luther, comes across as less thrilling than it should be Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review
