Investigating this disturbing urban legend.
), a billionaire who uses an army of hackers to unearth people's darkest secrets, weaponise them through blackmail, and recruit for himself an army of unwilling accomplices. Luther, chucked into prison for his unorthodox methods, needs to break out and team up with DCI Odette Raine to get to Robey before he enacts his master plan.
That master plan, you ask: a"Red Bunker," in which Robey’s kidnapped victims are tortured and killed on an internet livestream, allowing eager online viewers to vote for the method of their demise. Although screenwriter and series creator Neil Cross has been upfront about the fact Luther's world isn’t exactly grounded – he's called it"
" – Robey’s"Red Bunker" is actually a reference to the infamous urban legend of the Red Room. Does it have any basis in truth, though?Well, no – but it's not entirely straightforward. It isn't difficult to find claims, though many of them are second or even third-hand in nature, of people stumbling across Red Rooms on the dark web.
– viewers pay to watch a livestream of a person being tortured or killed, with some sort of chatroom function to allow them to interact with the torturer. Talk of Red Rooms first surfaced online in the early 2010s.

What's truly frightening about the Red Room urban legend is that, practical limitations aside, it isn't all that implausible. Multiple individuals have been arrested and charged with selling videos of abuse and violence on the dark web . There are documented cases, too, of violent crimes broadcast on streaming sites such as Facebook Live, though never with the forethought and organisation that a Red Room would entail.
