It's striking how little has changed for John Luther (Idris Elba) since the last time we saw him, five long, horrifying years ago.

Though it's been some time (three years!?!) since Idris Elba's (Thor: Ragnarok) Detective John Luther was "back in London, back in the coat," fans of BBC One's Luther clearly missed the crime solver in a big way.

Leave it to FXX's It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia to take something as simple as the format of a Television Critics Association (TCA) summer press event and give it that "special" Paddy's Pub touch. Taking the stage on Friday, Sunny cast members Charlie Day, Danny DeVito, Rob McElhenney, and Kaitlin Olson addressed the "massive" outbreak […]
