Tatiana's accent isn't great (at first I thought she was trying to do a New Zealand one - it wasn't until she was calling Fe her brother I realised she was supposed to be English). But Felix? I swear to God his accent is flawless - it's how I speak, it's not Cockney or overtly "posh", it's a regular London accent. I had to IMDB him after the first ep because I was like "how do I not know this young English actor... He's CANADIAN?? WHAT???" so that's that. (btw what indie film?)
Also Cosima !! I adore her. I'm not sure if the genre thing stands as strongly as before, and lots of people I'd never have expected have seen and loved the show. Plus cult stuff like comic book films are taking over the mainstream, but in critical circles I think there's a lot of snobbery (and snubbery, obviously). The same stands with animation, which can be utterly beautiful and affecting and is most certainly not just "kids stuff".
Is this better?
And thanks for saying I'm distinctive with colour (I assume you mean dark and grungy stuff? I like it to look a little weathered and frayed). But the effects I use really aren't that hard - if they were there's no way I could be playing with 'em.
BTW Mary is from Sherlock (and only s3), and I don't think you'd want to get involved in that mess of a show. The storytelling is great but the female characters are belittled a LOT (and I love them, I do - my favourite is currently a tough and sarcastic police sergeant called Sally who takes none of Sherlock's shit but is closely followed by a sweet, cat loving pathologist. I kinda maybe ship them a little) and it has so much queerbating with the male relationships it borders on disgusting - mostly because the head writer insists that they "aren't each other's type", and making a lesbian identifying woman become enamoured with Sherlock... It's a mess. I'm too far gone, I'm hooked, and entrenched in their relationships.
But Luther? Luther is an entirely different beast. Alice is the main antagonist but also the main love interest (and it is DELICIOUS), it's a very dark show centred on morality and personal demons as much as criminals and offers no easy solutions. There's an awesome (and later tragic) Father/Son dynamic with DI Luther and his younger friend and partner Justin Ripley - and later a very weird Father/Father/Daughter relationship with an old love rival and a teenage girl who has fallen into the sex industry. There's a lot that's questionable, and it even makes you question yourself as you watch because you can never tell if you're rooting for the angel or the devil. It is one of my favourite shows of all time (and only 3 series - they might be making a feature film as well, now that the show has been officially "closed"). I would recommend it, but it's very dark and often gory so if that doesn't float your boat. (there's also an unfortunate incident with a very cool female character in s1 *no spoilers, I'm trying hard okay* that does look like fridging (though her death makes sense in the storyline so it's not just shock value), but in later series it happens to a much larger and MALE character, so it's not as bad as it seems.)

Hell, I think it's a good show.
