Luther as a flawed anti-hero

Luther is not your conventional detective, we think of detectives as law abiding citizens however he is not.

• he left a man to die when he had to opportunity to save his life.
• he started a fight with his ex wife's boyfriend for no particular reason, just due to a disagreement which highlights his short temper.
• he met up with the murderer several times outside of his working hours this is not typical sub-ordinate behaviour of people working with the law.
• he went to arrest a murderer alone when he needed back up, this was against the rules of being a detectives as he put his own life at risk.
• he nearly got tempted by the seductive behaviour of a potential murderer.
• personal problems over his profession and the right thing to do.
• blackmail, this is not the right thing to do and against the law. He balckmailed the murderers dad due to child pornography and alice saying they will arrest someone else if he leaves his wife alone.
• broke into a suspects flat meaning the evidence he picked up was irrelevent.
