jumpinjackflash Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 if there's one justification for the BBC's licence fee it's Luther! His character is like Jack Bauer in the sense they're both work obsessed, widowed, troubled, angry and hard..'cept Luther works for the Met, lives in South London and drives a crappier car!(tu) Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/17998-luther/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
mockney piers Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 I'm quite enjoying this, it's a bit better than the previous series. Thank gawd no Saskia Reeves* this time.Enjoyable tosh, just like Spooks, which it's not surprising to learn is done by the same folks.*I'm actually quite partial to our Saskia, but she was just awful in Luther.

Jah Lush Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 Two out of four so far Otto. Anyway.....Some of the writing's a bit, well you know.. improbable. How come Luther can just stare at crime scene photographs and deduce that the killer's work is all about silence and emptiness? Hmmm? Well, is he clairvoyant or an I missing something? Also, having a six inch nail hammered through his hand how come he didn't rush off to the nearest hospital without bleeding half to death and then in the next scene he's wearing a bandage on it?Still, it's enjoyable enough and the ladies have got a bit of eye candy to watch on an otherwise dull Tuesday night.

mockney piers Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 Plot holes, improbable insights, inexplicable story progression, paper thin characters, bizarre motives, ludicrous plot devices. Yep it's Spoother.Great fun though.*uncovers sheet over barrles* "There's enough spopholdahyde to dissolve three thousand children, he was shipping them to India, they'd have dissappeared without a trace"*characters look at each other questioningly, shrug and down a quart of moonshine*"Makes sense to me boss" Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/17998-luther/#findComment-447640 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jah Lush Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 I've never watched 24 so I cannot venture an opinion on its viewing worthiness. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/17998-luther/#findComment-447650 Share on other sites More sharing options...

RosieH Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 What was that Janet Jackson / Luther Vandross song where they "improvise" a bit towards the end and she says, "Oooh, Luther"? Spot on Janet, Idris Elba is delicious. And I think I've said this before on here somewhere (in many respects, this place is like the morning room in an old people's home, all telling each other the same stories over and over and occasionally soiling ourselves), but Cracker was just as improbable in his powers of deduction: what's that, he used the possessive with the gerund but has the hands of a labourer? He must be a monk. I blame Conan Doyle. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/17998-luther/#findComment-447984 Share on other sites More sharing options...
northlondoner Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 Luther must surely be the most ambitious home grown thriller on TV. Yes full of faults and improbabilities but still head and shoulders above the others. Can convey real darkness and the protagonist is a powerful figure. Series two better than the first, so far Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/17998-luther/#findComment-448276 Share on other sites More sharing options...
