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.

Narrative
Give examples of opening teasers?
In shows like Luther the most obvious kind of opening teasers this show gives of is, Luther is always there, its either with a victim or him on his own, it always looks like somethings going to happen for example, In the last episode the shows started with Luther standing on the edge, it started making you think is this going to be the end of things, its makes you want to watch the show more as you want to see what happens.
What examples of enigmas have you seen?
Example of enigmas:
Why did Luther yawn?
Will Horatio kill Memo?
Why does he have 3 phones?
Whats he kicked in the lake?
How would you describe that 'Quests' of the key protagonsits of crime drama.
The quests of the key protagonists are to ask the question of why are they doing this?
Luther does it to prove himself and Horatio does it to clean up the streets. Each main character does it for there own benfit, to make them look good.
How have shows you've seen either opened or closed narratives
Shows that i have seen that have started with a a closed ending are CSI, Luther, whitechapel. These are shows that you see you done the murder at the begining of the show.

Setting
How is the setting significant to crime dramas that you have seen? Eg Miami, London and whitechapel.
What dies the setting connotate- what do we assocaite with the settings
What opportunities arise from using the setting.
The setting is significant to crime dramas as they can give you a overall understanding of where it is set and how that effects viewers. It is significant to how the crimes will be solved and who will solve them, For example:
Luther:
In luther it is set in the lower class of london, estates places like that. This reminds of the riots in 2011. Its going to be more rough and gritty, not like the higher class of london. Kind of shows that the cops that are solving arent exactly going to be on the right side of the law, it will show through there surroundings behind them aswell. With this setting we associate more gangs, young peoples and homeless people getting killed.
Sherlcok:
Also sherlcok is set in London but its set more in the upper class areas like Baker street, the more richer side, also this shows in characters to how they dress, how they groom there self, take care of there apperience. With this setting we associate more band robberies and higher money crimes.
