John Luther – Luther
If you are in the market for a man who is well rounded and diverse in his interests, look no further. John Luther may be the best at solving crimes and catching bad guys, but he’s also really well read and a super deep thinker.
While Luther is a bit of a mix of Sherlock Holmes and Columbo, he’s really one of a kind. There is very little he can’t sort out, and he always knows how to get to the bottom of a mystery. This alone could really come in handy – he could help you find your phone in half the time.
However, his interests in literature and philosophy inform his robust abilities. He would be brilliant at parties. He could impress the deep thinkers with his knowledge of literature, spanning decades and genres. For all the weirdos with a morbid curiosity about crime, he could recall the worst of his cases. And for those with existential matters on their minds, he could chat them up about what the purpose of life is.
Idris Elba plays Luther as this jack of all trades, but he’s also desperately handsome – which is also a big hit at parties.
