Luther

Overview

John Luther is a Detective Chief Inspector (DCI) working for the Serious Crime Unit and later the new Serious and Serial Crime Unit. A dedicated police officer, Luther is obsessive, possessed, and sometimes violent. However, Luther has paid a heavy price for his dedication; he has never been able to prevent himself from being consumed by the darkness of the crimes with which he deals.

For Luther, the job always comes first. His dedication is a curse and a blessing, both for him and those close to him.
