    The first season was fantastic ... but this one has one missing ingredient. Sadly, the creators of this series have banished Alice Morgan to only a few minutes total. She was the special sauce that made season 1 so incredible. What were the writers smoking when they adopted the strategy of sidelining her? Hopefully they will sober up by the third season. Bring her back!

    I am disappointed by what I saw trending in last season's Luther and is in the first two episodes in spades: the Criminal Minds style demented serial killer Jack the Ripper-ish etc. that the British love so. Shame shame Neil Cross. There's a great deal that's terrific about season 2, but nothing to compare to the wonderful Alice story. I like the new girl friend but based on the trailerI am disappointed by what I saw trending in last season's Luther and is in the first two episodes in spades: the Criminal Minds style demented serial killer Jack the Ripper-ish etc. that the British love so.

    Luther may veer off course at times, but it just about works because Elba never oversells Luther's charisma.

    I promise you will roll your eyes at least once. And yet, each hour is so spellbinding, you may not realize you're leaving grip marks on your couch.

    Series creator/writer Neil Cross continues to spin dark strands that stray unexpectedly into unsettling territory.
