So season 3's just started airing on the BBC. Anyone going to be following it? Looks like it's going to be the most complex extended arc so far for the series. First episode was bloody good.


Also (spoiler from the trailers, in case you've avoided those):

Thank you. I'd never heard of this one before. Quite good.

Amazing ep, very tense on the Luther VS Internal Affairs people (AKA Irish actor guy)..and a REAL solid start to a new villain for all 4 eps.

Great to be back!

If we'd have warned you, that scene would never had gut punched you like it's supposed to. Easily the finest scene in all of S1.

To be fair, pretty much all of the scenes where Luther and Alice converse have to be up there...



Anyway, spoiler for this episode SO STAY OUT SEASON 1 PEOPLE

I was gonna try to watch this season two episodes at a time, since that's generally how the cases are spread out, but I couldn't wait. And that episode was awesome.

Will definitely be watching, but it probably won't reach me down here for a while yet (most likely will have to import DVDs :thumbsup:).

Finished season 2. Finale was good. Now I'm trying to decide whether to watch series 4 week by week or wait to watch them all at once.

imdb.com says that Jenny won't be in it (good), Alice won't be in it (bad), and it's only 4 episodes (very bad).

Alice is in it.

IMDB is shit for that type of information. Don't ever trust it.

So then you wait? As with the number of episodes. That's standard BBC, Make a fantastic show that you have to wait ages for, only make 4 episodes. Sherlock is even worse. And then they will kill it..

Well, (a) it's not really the BBC's fault they have to operate on much smaller budgets than American shows, and (:laughing: the smaller amount of episodes means there's little danger of needing filler material (though Luther's first season was in fact significantly weaker in the middle two of the six episodes, so I'm good with four).

I have zero issues with the way the BBC does shows.

I'd MUCH rather have 4 eps of amazing LUTHER...or 3 solid hour-and-a-half eps of SHERLOCK...8 Eps of BROADCHURCH than have any of them subscribe to the typical USA format of 26 Ep seasons with all the filler involved.
