After waiting more than two years, fans finally saw the return of Idris Elba as DCI John Luther.
The end of season 3 left us hanging on the edge of our seats, but if you thought that everything would be explained right away, you were in for a shock.
After a depressing opening in which he received some shocking news, fans were glad to see Luther back to his usual wise-cracking self.

The news of Alice’s death was shocking, but surely they can’t get rid of Luther’s best pal that easily?

Many were more interested in whether or not Luther had time-travelled to the pre-smartphone era…
Everyone watching #Luther just thought "A Nokia?" #LuthersBack

Game of Thrones fans were happy to see a new character with a familiar face…

But Luther’s techniques still left a lot to be desired for some…
'Never cut corners' #Luther you JUST beat a man up and stuffed him in your trunk because you couldn't be arsed to interview him properly

But fans lost their minds at the sight of Sherlock Holmes and John Watson at the end…only to realise that it was just an advert for BBC drama…
And there was me thinking that Sherlock was in the next episode of #Luther 😂😂😂

No but why do the BBC feel its appropriate to play with my heart like that… Luther/Sherlock NEEDED to happen like last week
