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!

Watching because I love Idris .But rather agree with MrsGrindah ( hello Michelle) it is all a bit silly .....

It scares the absolute shit out of me!! The sliding down the bus
I just kept thinking how I’d been lucky all the times I’d been drunk on the night bus in my youth/walking home really late.

Yes I saw he was driving away without a seat belt and didn’t H get slashed with a knife but didn’t go to hospital?
Agree with scarey man on the bus🤭👽.
Don’t sit up stairs on a night bus AND don’t fall asleep!!

I think Hermione is the baddie, and has sought out and manipulated men who can feed her fantasies (marrying one and having others in her patient base). So her own abuse/trauma is what led her to become a psych, but over time and with reinforcement from patients' fantasies, she is the one who is escalating and turning it into actions. Either sex could be behind that mask

I’ve just watched it back. The bus scene was really annoying. When she first gets on there are people on the back seat including a woman talking to someone where the masked guy appears. You never see that woman get off. You do see one set of passengers get off... twice. And she switches sides. It’s awful continuity that scene. Clearly an edit decision to show the bus emptying.

Anyway, I sort of zoned out the lido scene but George finds a phone with a video playing of a a bloke blindfolded and handcuffed to a bed wearing a suit. He then shoots someone running away. That’s Alice. Same cost and her nicks her with a bullet.

I still think Series 1 is the best and would recommend newbies to watch it.

I regularly catch the 15, it's usually a new route master though with stairs at the back and front.

Good to have the series back. The therapist is a fascinating foe, inserting herself into the investigation, like some real serial killers do.

Hermoine N’s fillers are hideous. She looks like Jigsaw from the Saw films .

She looked good in cold feet, I remember thinking she had had a bit of work and that is just freshened and plumped her up. She looked well.
Her fillers are too much now. I did find her character intriguing though.

I just had to do a Google search for that and, ha ha, yes indeed she does.

Such a shame though, I like her as an actor and think she had a nice face.

I was wondering if HN's character was orchestrating the murders somehow. There's definitely more crazy stuff to come from her.

I didn't know the next one was on tonight! Excited!

Loving it so far... although a bit disturbed by the sandpit body find - my kids have been down that slide and played in that sand pit many times eeeeeeek!!! (It's Victoria Park in Hackney) Idris is my DH's man crush and he has been coveting a Luther coat for ages - got him one for Christmas, I am wife of the year 😂

Are people missing the large wedding photo of Hermione and the killer?!

This is the only one I've seen
I think I need to go back to the beginning. Are they all still on iPlayer?

Yup x

Also on Netflix

Why are people saying they didn’t know HM would be in it? Doesn’t anyone read opening credits any more?

Mookie81, I've spotted that and I think some pps must have too, as they've already commented on her and her husband framing her patient.

I was tickled to pass a double decker bus with a Luther ad on it today

Yes @Mookie81 I spotted the pic.

It's on again TONIGHT! It's like the Beeb is trying to ease us back into work with this thrilling series.

Fucking pish. It's lots all its raw grittyness. Some nobhead has Hollywoodfied this and ruined it.

I said to MrCrumpet that I felt sorry for all the people catching buses from now on!

@spunbodgesquarepants Thanks to the advice. I had heard that Luther was good, but wasn't sure if it was the type of series that you need to watch from the beginning or not. I'm off work today so have been binge watching series 1 on iPlayer, one more episode to go. Excellent series!

Checking in for tonight’s episode. I’m convinced HN character is the baddie. She said to her husband “That is the the last time I let you humiliate me. James better be dead”

Also what did the new DI spot on the investigation board at the end to make her go looking for Luther?

Is she even a psychologist?
