[Machiavelli · Rating 4 out of 5]

A brutal, blood-soaked finale that delivered exactly what this series had been building toward. The hospital setting created nonstop tension, Luther was more unpredictable and terrifying than ever, and the action escalated into some wonderfully vicious horror.What really made it work was the emotion beneath all the carnage. Thomas’s final confrontation wasn’t merely about defeating a monster, it forced him to face everything his father had done and decide what he was willing to accept. That gave the ending real weight and brought his story to a satisfying conclusion.Fast, gory, surprisingly emotional, and a great finish to the series. I had a blast with this one. 4.5⭐️
