Am I the only one disappointed by "Luther"?

The first four episodes were pretty good, then it just goes to absolute shit in the next two episodes. I can tolerate a certain amount of implausibility, but it becomes utterly stupid after a bit.

I’m hesitant to start Season 2. Does it get better? Is it just me?

I just feel like the show lets him down massively.

I don’t like Bond, Superman, Spider-Man, Bourne or any action movies, but I like Luther. So, yea, it could be lead actor.
