Love this show however I’m a bit ticked off because I’ve watched seasons 1-4 on Netflix and now finally season 5 comes and I can’t watch. BBC isn’t included with my cable. I’m irritated I’ve waited a long long time for new season. If anyone can suggest a way without BBC OR the others listed please send me an email perhaps [email protected]. Thanks!
To be honest, I am a bit disappointed in this season. Some plot twists were imo far fetched and the return of Alice was a bit fun in the beginning but they could have done a lot better with it.
S5: The opposite of cogent

I enjoyed season five of 'Luther'. It isn't perfect, but it delivers the desired amount of entertainment.
Idris Elba remains brilliant as the titular character. I wouldn't say any of the other cast members particularly stand out to an incredible degree, barring one or two who are good. The four episodes are all paced fairly well, sometimes the show - at least over the last few seasons - does move slower than you'd expect; not slow enough that I'd describe them as a drag or anything close to that, I just feel they could pick up the pace ever so slightly. With that said, some events that take place do seem to be included just to add shock value; it can feel a little less well written in those moments, at least compared to what we've been accustomed to across the opening season or two.
Nonetheless, I still enjoyed S5 - I'd probably rank it as my third favourite so far, behind S1/2 but ahead of S3/4; though it's a toss-up
between S3 and S5.
