REVIEW: 'In the Long Run'

Idris Elba is back on the small screen ... but this show is nothing like 'Luther' - by Gavin Scott
  • 15 Jan 2019

In a change of pace for star and creator Idris Elba, this 1985-set series, which feels very much like a product of the era it depicts, is a family comedy inspired by the actor’s experience growing up in north-east London.

Elba plays Walter Easmon, a character with elements of his own father, whose happy life with his wife and son (based on Elba himself) is turned upside down when Walter’s party-loving, responsibility-challenged DJ brother arrives from Sierra Leone.

Featuring easy laughs and a killer 1980s soundtrack, In the Long Run makes for comfortable viewing that is a world away from the grittier Luther (which returns for a new season in the coming weeks). (Starts Tues., Jan. 15 at 9.40pm; ABC Comedy) 3 stars

A pop culture enthusiast from a young age, Gavin is equally passionate about great pop music (’80s synthpop, ’10s dream pop), gripping TV series (Friday Night Lights, The Handmaid’s Tale) and trips to the cinema (I love a blockbuster as much as anyone, but I’m done with the superhero thing).
