'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.

Birkan Aslan, afraid of falling in love, falls into the trap of Işıl Bayraktar, who is trying to stay at the peak of stardom. Birkan, who has been in a very happy relationship with Işıl Bayraktar for five years, opens the doors of his heart only to Işıl, despite being the center of attention. One day, while walking on the beach, a mysterious drunk man approaches them. His meaningful words not only raise questions in Birkan's mind but also make him wonder if Işıl might know this mysterious man. Birkan Aslan, who works in the art gallery business, is deeply saddened by Işıl’s growing distance from him, and seeds of doubt begin to sprout alongside his feelings of love. Işıl Bayraktar distances herself from Birkan in order to stay at the top and lures her new prey, Commissioner Serdar, into her web.
