Luther?

I was blogging two days ago about British actors who make it in the US in great TV dramas. And I learned straight afterwards that BBC is producing one big cop drama, Luther, with none other than Idris Elba, the Stringer Bell from The Wire, in the lead role. I have to admit, after lamenting of the poor productions here, this seems to be a good move, at least casting-wise. Let's see if they get more than the casting right and if the series got inspired by American dramas also in the quality of the writing.
