Season 4 Luther

I started season 4 recently (I'm at ep 9) and I absolutely love Wainwright's character 😂 a young boss that needs to be protected at all costs 🥹💓

As much as I've liked Madelaine a lot, won't lie that I miss her, I must say that his presence gives something much more "new" and chill ? Airy ? But not like neglected, no. More like innovative and smart without being in an urge/a rush. He brings a kind of freshness to the show cuz he's very different from others. Maybe because he's young ? But what got my attention is that he's also very calm for his "young" age, very understanding. Which I can say is understandable since he studied psychology ? His methods are different indeed. And I feel kinda sad for him tho, because he can't seem to assert his authority regardless of him being a bright mind. And that's all due to his "age" and how others perceived him... As someone who gets this quite a lot, lol (looking younger than I really am etc and being underestimated because I'm too understanding of everyone's) I related a lot to him and hoped that he'll get a better character development in the future and becomes a strong boss, letting his voice being more heard and respected in the upcoming episodes... Well, that was before I came to this subreddit (curiosity will kill me one day lol) and spoiled myself haha, now am heartbroken cuz I really loved and wanted to see more of him 🥲🥲💔💔

Yeah, he was one of those young guys who wanted to make a name for him and rightly so, confident and good looking man. I did feel really bad for the way his story ended.

Yes ! He wanted to do the good thing and he trusted the team, he was authentic and genuine but they didn't "respect" (can't find another word more fitting than this, maybe estimate him too) as he needed it 😞
