David Mitchell reprises his role as John 'Ludwig' Taylor, the reclusive puzzle-setter thrown into the world of policing after his identical twin brother James, a detective chief inspector, vanished without explanation.

The detective dramedy series (https://www.digitalspy.com/tv/a71857231/bbc-ludwig-renewed-season-three/), which stars David Mitchell and Anna Maxwell Martin, will drop its second season on BBC One on 20 August,

Season one saw James go missing, which led to his twin brother pretending to be him as he infiltrated the local police station to investigate, and he ended up helping to solve other cases

The synopsis for the second season (https://www.digitalspy.com/tv/a71744111/ludwig-season-2-must-watch-mystery/) reads: "Now that he's an official employee of the station, John is forbidden from using any police resources to look for his brother or uncover exactly what he was investigating.

Of course, John won't stop, and neither will Lucy, John's sister-in-law and wife of his missing brother James - a puzzle needs solving and a husband and father needs bringing home. One masquerade may have ended, but a new one has just begun."

There's a big thread in Style & Beauty about Lucy's wardrobe so I guess some people like it! Apparently the style is called Dark Academia.

Saw DCS Carol Shaw/Ma'am on stage in How The Other Half Loves at the Old Vic last week - she was very good!

So Ziegler has been suspended and presumably disappeared on the anniversary of his daughter's death... who died in a car accident. Was it an accident? Was she killed to send a message to Ziegler/Carter?

The back story has always been more interesting than the murders. It's a puzzle in itself as each week we are given another piece of the puzzle. For those that can't remember series one, IMO it was definitely worth rewatching series one before the start of series two.

In terms of goodies and baddies, I'm thinking Ziegler and Carter are on the good side. I'm undecided about Shaw, there's something about her I don't trust.

I like the chemistry between the characters. The casting is spot on. The friendship between John and Lucy, the similarities in personality between John and Henry, Lucy annoying the hell out of Mark Bonner's character, the partnership between Carter and John. I'm still not taking to Cole and Sullivan but I'm trying to give them a chance.

I agree about Ziegler and Carter.

Interesting point about Shaw. Not sure.

Try rewatching series 1?

Just watched the wedding one and actually thought he had stabbed himself to ruin their wedding. I personally thought that was much more plausible and psychologically likely with someone who was acting the way he did beforehand.

Lucy has become less interesting and more irritating this series, waffly and seems less intelligent (all that 'I just made stickers!' tosh). Why have they done that?

E3 tonight

and

Xmas special will be on and s3 will happen

The Christmas special sounds great 😊

Thanks for the recommendation for Everyone Lies.
Really enjoyed the first episode.

Have watched this evening’s episode, as eldest & partner coming to visit 😊

Wags finger 😜😜

e3

trying to gather information for Lucy’s ‘s interview, JOHN gets sidetracked by the murder of a influencer in the heart of Cambridge

Looks busy for a Saturday at a police station

Still wearing skirts socks and shoes 😂

Dark haired lady did it in the gold jacket thing

or that’s my guess

Or I’m wrong ha ha

Plenty of shots of Cambridge tonight. 😀 I was wondering where “Cambridge’s labyrinthine streets” would be - they seemed just to have filmed any narrow route in the city centre.

I smiled when we saw the Council Offices sign outside the real Cambridge police station.

I’m glad DCI Carter is part of the search now.

I heard something about the Christmas special earlier today, but I can’t remember where. It was an interview with David Mitchell, possibly on the BBC. The Hollywood Reporter tells us other things about it. I’m looking forward to the programme.

Lucy is getting ditzier and more of a caricature each episode!

Lucy’s coat on tonight’s episode was … interesting.

E3 recap

https://reelmockery.com/ludwig-series-2-episode-3-recap/

I enjoy the summary, thank you for that link, but near the end I read “John says You’re interviewing her; she’s interviewing you.”

Did I mishear? I thought it was, “John says You’re not interviewing her; she’s interviewing you.”

He did say that esp as I have subtitles on

Think it’s an error. Do get the odd one in recaps

I'm also liking Carter getting in on John's secret mission. I hope he doesn't turn out to double cross them as that would be a massive twist now I've decided Carter is a goodie.

Lots of laugh out moments for me tonight with one liners. Mark Bonnar is starting to steal the show a little bit for me with his exasperated manner.

That's the big question, I think; is Carter OK or not?

I didn't understand tonight's episode at all. Going to have to read the recap
