It's peculiarly short, reportedly due to time constraints, as such I wasn't truly able to connect to any of the events onscreen. I still enjoyed what I saw and what they give, but it does feel a tad rushed/undercooked. A decent chunk of episode one focuses on new characters as opposed to Luther himself, which didn't feel right - though by the end, it was good that we got to know the characters of Rose Leslie and Darren Boyd. Laura Haddock's role isn't the best, I didn't connect with Megan to be honest. I did enjoy Patrick Malahide as Cornelius though.
Basically, in short, I rated the stuff involving Leslie and Boyd but the one about Luther and his own story wasn't that massively interesting to me. It's a season that still has its moments but is definitely hampered by the 120 minute run time, with the aforementioned premise involving Leslie and Boyd concluding kinda abruptly. Still, Idris Elba is a big enough reason to watch, he's great again. I remain excited for season five.

A two-episode fourth season of 'Luther'.
