'Luther: The Fallen Sun', Idris Elba’s Netflix Vehicle, Fails to Make the Point
By undermining the appeal and credibility of black characters, the show compromises the very idea of diversity and representation it sets to promote.
As If You Were Never Here
In the dead of night, a strange woman arrives in a forgotten village in northern Georgia. Marina, an Israeli lawyer who has spent her life in denial about her past and identity, returns to Georgia to bring back to Israel an 11-year-old boy who was abandoned by his mother Nino as a baby. She meets Dato (Nino's brother) who has cared for the boy his entire life. Despite the hostility she arouses in him, he agrees to help her. The journey of Dato and Marina, two strangers, melts the walls of alienation and anger and changes their perspective on the world and themselves.
