Idris Elba Will Star In New BBC1 Crime Drama

The Wire's Idris Elba will star in a new crime drama written by Neil Cross for BBC1. Mr. Cross describes the series, called Luther, as "an intense psychological thriller which examines not only human depravity but the complex nature of love...." The series "will turn the crime genre drama on its head," by revealing the killer at the beginning of the episode, says the BBC. Really? I thought Columbo became famous for that twist a while ago.
