Luther

Yes can't wait either, so enjoy this programme albeit a bit too violent in places but always very good. Have our steak pie to have first though

I’ve just started the first series on Netflix and am enjoying it but I don’t know what to do? Watch or not watch the new series tonight?

tanith in my opinion def watch in order, you will get to know the characters and it will available on catchup, or possibly record new series to watch when you want to, I so envy you the whole series to watch having not seen Luther before, hope you enjoy?

Me too Nannylovesshopping I really enjoyed the previous series. Luther is so sexy, not quite as high on my list as Lord M but nearly there

I also enjoyed previous series, and together with Idris Elba I thought Ruth Wilson was brilliant. I understand she is also in this latest series but I am concerned I won't see her in the same way since Mrs Wilson.

I'm off work with the flu and because I heard so much about Luther I binged watched the first series - ITS FANTASTIC viewing, even though I had to close my eyes at times. I'm going to record the new series a watch some wet afternoon.

Well, Luther is obviously drop dead gorgeous as ever, but, it all felt a little stale, can’t believe I’m saying this, maybe Alice turning up at the end, still looking sort of dead, will lift it back up to its anticipated dazzling heights

We had it on. Haven't a clue what was going on. And it was too nastily violent close to the watershed.

It WAS extremely violent! Are there really horrific people like tat in the world? And Luther can certainly take a beating, can’t he?

Gonegirl I thought I was the only person who had not a clue what was going on and I watched it for the entire hour, missing a couple of minutes at the start.

It was so dark - in all senses of the word - that I found it very hard to follow. As I haven't got into previous series, I don't know the characters.
Will watch ep 2 later today in the hope that it's less disjointed.

I had the subtitles on as well because the diction was so poor.

I loved it. I think Idris Elba is gorgeous (although until last night I hadn't noticed his bow legs!). Yes, it was violent, and yes, there ARE nasty people around - but everyone has the choice to watch, or not to watch.

Agree that it was violent but I did think it was very good. The acting is extremely good especially Hermione Norris who doesn't have to do very much to get a character across. Definitely less is more.
I'm looking forward to episode two tonight.

Lynne that's hardly the point and is simply stating the obvious!
I chose to watch for the first time and will choose whether or not to watch again.
However if there are significant complaints about the production it's not unreasonable to point them out.

Too dark, speech indistinct, very violent, but I enjoyed it nonetheless and am waiting for Alice, because she's brilliant.

Luther is brilliant, as is Alice.
Dark, brooding and dangerous. Meets violence with violence and brings about a just end without the need for the expense of a trial etc.
Ruth Wilson is equally brilliant in “ The Affair. “

I thought it was rubbish - lots of contrived violence for its own sake rather than a real storyline. And that silly mask! I won't be watching again. It was very near the watershed and a lot of early teens will have been watching. Another dose of sexual deviance for them to add to the stuff they get on their phones. No thanks - not for me.

Lynne I didn’t say I didn’t enjoy it but I do question if there are such horrific crimes committed.............maybe I’m just naive? I do think you have to suspend the truth in some of these programmes. I also love Iris Elba, bandy legs and all. Hermione Norris always plays the same role in my humble opinion.

Truth can be far stranger than fiction.

mcem.... alright, calm down luv .

Sorry to have rattled you.....

I too have just binge watched series 1 and I am now hooked! Hoping to see all of it in order. It took me a couple of episodes to really get into it.

Yes it is very violent in places, but I just slowly fast forward over those parts - because I hate seeing violence.

I hope I can see all the other series before it disappears.

Not the least bit rattled, m'dear. Just can't be bothered with such a trite and obvious post!
Various opinions were being offered and discussed but I believe we are are all aware of the 'off' button and, if we so choose, we know how to use it!

mcem....rattled enough to reply to my earlier comments. I'm bored now, though, so no need to reply to this one
