DCI John Luther (Idris Elba, 'Luther') A brilliant detective, DCI John Luther is the best in the police biz, but his personal life is a bust. After his wife is accidentally murdered by his best friend, all bets are off, and Luther embraces his bad side, going rogue and taking justice into his own hands.
Cal McCaffrey (John Simm, 'State of Play') Cal McCaffrey is a well-respected journalist who's sleeping with his former best friend's wife. BAD call, Cal. Nough said.
Stephen Collins (David Morrissey, 'State of Play') Stephen Collins isn't just a political player. His extramarital affair looks bad enough, but things go from bad to worse when his lover turns up dead on the tracks of the London Underground.
Edward Buchan (Steve Pemberton, 'Whitechapel') Eddie Buchan is a tour guide, so yeah, not exactly badass, but his fascination with unexplained and violent deaths suggests he loves a good horror show.
DS Miles (Phil Davis, 'Whitechapel') DS Ray Miles is thisclose to retirement, so if you want to catch a glimpse of his bad side, try wasting his time. When it comes to crimesolving, Ray's not afraid to go the extra mile...even when it involves breaking protocol.
John Coniston (Steven Mackintosh, 'Inside Men') A mild-mannered stutterer and general push-over, John might be the least likely man to get involved in the biggest crime scheme in UK history. But give John a gun, and he's a whole new guy.
Marcus Riley (Warren Brown, 'Inside Men') Marcus Riley may look innocent, but the cheeky forklift operator with a charming smile harbors some serious resentment for his lack of luck in life. Marcus' bad boy streak starts when he schemes to get out of debt the fastest way he can - stealing cash from the counting depot where he works.
Detective Kevin Corcoran (Tom Weston-Jones, 'Copper')
Corcoran might be working for the brass, but he's not afraid to bend the rules and embrace his bad side to bring criminals to justice. [{"term_id":"9","name":"bad boys","slug":"bad-boys","term_group":"0","term_taxonomy_id":"9","taxonomy":"media-tags","description":"","parent":"0","count":"9"}]234
