Luther

[ohwownosnow]

Oh my good god. Just coming to the end of the first new episode. Thrilling.

Idris is also not bad to look at!

Why was George the gangster heading to Luther’s home at the end? Because he saved Errol? Or
Something else? Do we know?

But it wasn't the nightbus! It was only 10.01 when she got on :)

it seems that James (the patient) was in that diused tunnel - did she tell him to hide there or has he been held captive? It's the only way the boyfriend (or is it the son?) of the psychiatrist could have killed him there and put the mask on him while disappearing himself.

But also when would he have got into her car if there was police all around there, and she was nursing her stabbed arm?

It's good but unneccesarily graphic overall - why do that.

Bloody hell, Hermione's fillers make her scarier to look at than the killer in the mask.

They've photoshopped her too much too. Bwa ha ha.

*unnecessary, tsk

Yes Hermione had some fillers - but I think she looks better/younger now as she was very gaunt in recent tv appearances.

George shot at Alice, or a figure looking like Alice, earlier on when he was looking for his son, so he knows she's alive.

My guess is that he twigged that she's be heading to Luther's so that's why he made his way there.

When he put the whisky glasses down and they all moved off, George said something. We replayed it 6 times but still have no idea what he said!

Didn't George say something like 'Luther must've known/must know'?

Ah, makes sense but I just couldn't hear it!

I have questions:
Firstly about the set up, the husband used the patients phone so they must have decided to set him up. I thibk the husband had abducted the patient and hidden him in that tunnel bit ready to decoy... but why? They had only found one killing spree and had no clues to who it was until HN came forward. Now when he kills again they’ll know she’s to do with it.

(Side note: her Botox face looked too much like the mask. HN! You don’t need it!)

Secondly, the bus... how the fuck was the floor so clean? At 10pm!?! Not even a McDonald’s straw wrapper?
And why did no one notice some weird bloke crouching down at the back? The back and the front are alway the first to get seats nabbed.

And they had poor continuity or the other passengers getting off which annoyed me.

Just thought if something. When he was making the noise to the girl at the bus stop but then was on the bus, did we see that it might be him before the cyclist came? Maybe they roped in James and he was doing the noise whilst the husband was on the bus? 🤷🏽‍♀️

"Why does he walk funny"?

Idris Elba had knee surgery a few months before filming began

He never had his seatbelt fastened when he was driving. It irrationally annoyed me. Still loved it though.

Forgotten about him being shot in thigh.

I am wondering what caught Halliday's eye.

Been awake in night trying to piece it all together!

What noise at the bus stop???

Can someone briefly explain the Alice character please?

There was a kind of whooping noise while the woman waited for the bus. I think while the cyclist was cycling down the path.

I said to DH that there's no way I'd have stayed on the top deck on my own. That bit was quite unrealistic.

Was the one who was killed the gangster's missing son?

Ridiculous! Was so looking forward to it but it was too silly for words esp the bomb scene

TeachesOfPeaches series one is really your best explanation but she’s just like this psychotic angel to Luther. She’s amazing.

I could write it down but it really is different to seeing it. She was a child prodigy with a PHD as a teen who killed her parents but Luther couldn’t prove it. She then starts to stalk him and try to impress him but not for romantic reasons. He’s safe when she’s around as she will do anything to save him, no conscience, smart, agile and strong. You find yourself cheering when she’s on screen.

Neverunderfed we don’t know anything about the missing son yet other than he’s missing but maybe Alice knows. (Newbies: George has supposedly killed Alice for stealing diamonds from him a.k.a Ruth Wilson was too busy to come back to film).

Agree about the bus way to clean haha! And no way would it be empty at that time!

*too clean!

I just knew there would be a thread on this! my thoughts so far:

• Alice is the key to George's ds' disappearance. She's taken him in revenge for George having her bumped off.

• Hermione N (who has deffo had the mother of all cheek fillers) is pulling the strings re: the psycho killers. Still not clear about the identity of james / the man in the car boot etc.

• there will be a big showdown between the two female bosses, Alice and Hermione.

• the new female DS is a bit dull don't you think? Better than the last series though, the female DS was a drip and a half.

• I love Benny.

• I love Idris more.

Eagerly awaiting tonight's instalment ! .
