Luther as a Flawed anti hero

Luther is not your conventional detective, we think of detectives as law abiding citizens whereas Luther isn't.
Luther is an anti-hero as he watched a man dying right infront of him even though he had an opportunity to save his life, however he left him to die.
Also Luther retaliated and had an incident with his ex's wife boyfriend. This demonstrates that he has a short fuse.
Furthermore another reason for him being an anti-hero is how he met up with the murderer several of times outside of his working hours.
Luther went against the rules and regulations as he went to the murderers estate without armed forces to back him up. He fought alone.
Similarly Luther nearly got tempted by the seductive behaviour of a potential murderer.
Luther breaks into Alice's flat who is the murderer without anyone knowing.
He has a very unusual relationship with Alice when he shouldn't. A cop shouldn't be found being friendly with the murderer.
Luther also blackmailed others which isn't the correct way when dealing with a crime.
Luther also puts his personal life before his profession, which shouldn't be seen when dealing with crimes.
