Luther
Updated November 2, 2026
What if your worst enemy was your own conscience?
Luther streams in the US on twelve subscription services — Acorn TV, Acorn TV (Via Amazon Prime), Acorn TV Apple TV, AMC Plus Apple TV Channel, AMC+, AMC+ Amazon Channel, Britbox, Britbox (Via Amazon Prime), BritBox Roku Channel, DirecTV On Demand, HBO (Via Hulu) and HBO Max — and nowhere else right now: no free stream, and no rent-or-buy option. Here is the full list and which to use.
A troubled detective hunts depraved murderers while battling personal demons and pressure from within the police force. His unconventional methods and complicated relationships make each case emotionally dangerous, forcing him to confront threats at work and in his personal life as he tries to do what is right.
