How this season is filed

Filed by Max Sterling · Streaming Confidential

Idris Elba's coat-and-scowl detective hunts London monsters while dancing too close to Ruth Wilson's Alice. Rain-slicked gothic, crime as passion play, British export swagger. Antihero badge work that minted Elba as a global television icon — and a criminal muse who still owns every scene she smiles through.
