Single-handedly, it seems, he’s defused the situation yet again. It’s so big and broad it shouldn’t work at all. But it’s not only Luther walking into the frame. It’s also Idris Elba, the imposing, charismatic and terribly talented actor who brings him to life, and that makes a great deal of difference.
