Excellent episode, there's no way Alice is dead.

 

[funkypie]

Fuck it felt like it only just going. Can't believe it's only two episodes.

 

[Siegcram]

Of course she's not dead.

More interesting will be if the show gets back to the old dude cuffed to the radiator.

 

[openrob]

Fuck it felt like it only just going. Can't believe it's only two episodes.

Exactly how I feel. It's like as soon as were getting in to it it's gonna end

Anyway great episode, loads of tension.

 

[AngryMoth]

That felt like a really slow episode. Which I wouldn't mind if there weren't only 2 of them...

 

[Slowdive]

Great episode.

 

[Lashley]

Brilliant episode.

Idris Elba is cool as fuck. Can't wait until next Tuesday! We get a new Sherlock on New Years Day too, set in Victorian England too, should be good.

 

[J4g3r]

Great start, kind of wish I waited for the next episode and watched them back to back though.

 

[Shy]

Dat fucking intro when he luthers up. Like a boss. (it needs to be gif'd)

Alice ain't dead tho.

It's gonna be hard to wait till next week.

 

[injurai]

[Tugatrix]

Great episode, too bad is just two episodes

 

[Beefy]

Great episode! Now to avoid spoilers from US gaf.

 

[Yautja_Warrior]

Great episode, Luther's back baby.

With only 2 episodes I'm thinking this will end on a cliffhanger and then lead into the movie. Idris says they are still looking at doing the movie, it's just taken time to get things together, so this could be the jumping point for it.

I guess we won't find out if Alice is dead or not here and that will be the movies plot.

 

[Scorpion Soldier]

Holy crap, I had no idea Luther was coming back! Can't wait to watch this.

They said if they do a movie it'll be a prequel so they can get Ripley back, but that was a while ago so plans could've changed I guess. I'm just glad Neil Cross said recently he'll carry on writing Luther until Luther's old and grey, and Idris said he'll keep on playing him, because for a while it seemed like series 3 was the last one.

Movie is a prequel with the final scene being the first scene of season one, episode one.

Glad to hear it, we can clearly see that Idris love playing the character and Neil to write it

Luther for life!

 

[Ape Gone Insane]

Only 2 episodes? fuck sake man

 

[Broken Joystick]

Some lovely directing and cinematography in tonight's episode. Sorta glad it's only two episodes if we get stuff like that.

Bonus: guy who was very happy to see Luther

 

[Clegg]

I liked the stereotypical Cockney crime boss. "Oo's yore guv'nah"?

 

[funkypie]

What's does watcha mean? I'm aware it's some cockney thing

 

[Shy]

What's does watcha mean? I'm aware it's some cockney thing

It's a form of greeting. like a Sup, or a yo.

 

[Ape Gone Insane]

What's does watcha mean? I'm aware it's some cockney thing

Wotcher. What's up. S'up.

 

[RS4-]

Holy shit that was creepy.

Great return.

 

[Tim the Wiz]

'We do this the right way,' says the policeman with a guy chained to a radiator in his house.

That's Luther alright!

Excellent episode, there's no way Alice is dead.

If Luther is Plausible Batman, then Alice is Plausible Catwoman.

You don't kill off Catwoman.

 

[Sojgat]

Fantastic episode.

He just had a rack full of coats, lol. I love it.

 

[scarlet]

This show needs Alice, 1st series Alice, the best one.

 

[zaccheus]

Why do people like Alice so much? She's fucking evil.. she killed her parents, I don't get it.

 

[scarlet]

Why do people like Alice so much? She's fucking evil.. she killed her parents, I don't get it.

And?

Because she's an antagonist I have to hate her?

 

[Gaz_RB]

Pretty sure Alice is still dead and that message is to be delivered post death.

 

[TheKaeptain]

Why do people like Alice so much? She's fucking evil.. she killed her parents, I don't get it.

She's a well written character.

 

[wenis]

'We do this the right way,' says the policeman with a guy chained to a radiator in his house.

A guy like Luther always needs the appearance of being squeaky clean, but just not himself.

 

[Shy]

Why do people like Alice so much? She's fucking evil.. she killed her parents, I don't get it.

Maybe her parents were a real pain in the arse.

 

[Sheroking]

Why do people like Alice so much? She's fucking evil.. she killed her parents, I don't get it.

She's a genuinely terrific character, but she also makes Luther a much better character. The entire franchise is more or less about his contradictory nature. He's immoral but his sense of duty is incorruptible. He fights to catch monsters but genuinely adores a monster, to the point where he helps her escape justice.

Luther is never a better show than when Alice and Luther are partners in crime.

 

[Angelus Errare]

Great episode! I wish I was a billionaire, I'd fund seasons my damn self! Buckets of money for Idris!

 

[Lashley]

Great episode! I wish I was a billionaire, I'd fund seasons my damn self! Buckets of money for Idris!

Lack of funding isn't the reason for such long waits, it's that Idris is in demand, like Benedict for Sherlock.

 

[Lego Boss]

It was amazing, but equally troubling in that it just feels like it's getting going and next week it's going to end.

Shurely thish should be a four parter?

Unless the film is definite thing of course.

 

[Grizzlyjin]

John Luther really is the Batman of London.

 

[SamuelSupreme]

Im going to be fuxking ready.

 

[~Devil Trigger~]

John Luther really is the Batman of London.

i was literally coming here to say this lol

great episode indeed

 

[stn]

Guys, could you PLEASE tag spoilers? This show isn't even out for all of us and I've already read too much.

 

[Ingueferroque]

John Luther really is the Batman of London.

Can not shake this feeling when he is standing on rooftops overlooking the city.

Spoiler

His uniform really cements this, throughout the first seasons I kept wondering why he would not wear a different coat, but this episode shows how that coat is his cape and armor. He derives strength and authority from it.

Luther (Batman) and his ex partner Ripley (Robin) also have the physique like they are from a Rocksteady Batman game.

I also noticed that he confronts bad guys unarmed, even when he is setting a trap and knows he can't avoid a confrontation.

Oh and Alice is basically Catwoman?

 

[funkypie]

Those bits during the credits, is that next episode or what was happening between the episodes?

Alice is the Joker, guys.
