Thankfully, we have Taron Egerton instead, in an entertaining, if not somewhat convoluted at times,
Luther: The Fallen Sun sees the return of the disgraced detective, this time in a Netflix-made feature film. Coming 4 years after the end of the fifth series, which wrapped things up rather neatly, it was a surprise to see Luther making a comeback. And to be frank, he should’ve stayed in prison. The film

If you’ve spent any time on social media in recent months, you’ll surely be aware of the creepy dance scene that went viral following the release of the first trailer for M3GAN and the subsequent marketing of the movie has been spot-on too.
