Luther - No spoilers

The series split into 2 strands, a murderer and the return of Alice. The murderer was classic Luther, dark and creepy. That was great. The Alice strand was overplayed and self indulgent. By the end I didn't care what happened to him.

I felt disappointed and flat.

On a separate note, what the heck has Hermione Norris done to her face? :eek:. Why do people do this to themselves?

Agree. Really enjoyed the whole series... except the Alice stuff. Starts off OK but progressively gets sillier and more pantomimish. OK she's a genious but some of the otheris just daft (can only suspend disbelief up to a point).

I thought they tried to cram too much into 4 episodes, but, I still enjoyed it.

Manhunt. A really excellent 3 parter on ITV about the investigation that led to the arrest of Levi bellfield. Not sensationalist, a nuts and bolts approach. Martin Clunes was very good, as were all of the cast to be fair.

I'd like to have known what happened to many of the characters after the case as this was clearly career defining in both ways. Surrey police came out badly, they were in charge of the Milly Dowler case, and I'd be surprised if he was still married to his then wife. Force politics getting in the way of actually solving the cases were pretty disturbing. Recommended.

Loved it.

Hated the wife, he's trying to solve a triple murder and all she could think about was herself.

Watched episode one last night, really good. Have always liked Martin Clunes, his Goodbye Mr Chips always brings a tear to the eyes.

Stuff it, I was being polite in my first post but you are dead right. What was more important, solving the case, arresting the person responsible or which force got the kudos, how would it affect her and her career? They can't be together now, surely.

Don’t normally watch this type of programme, but thought it was very good.

I did note that main investigator was one of the consultants for the programme, so possibly it was not a fair depiction of the (presumably ex) wife.

We finished You last night. Overall it was a good story about the perils of social media feeding into someone’s psychosis but it went a bit too fantastical at times for shock which detracted slightly. If they’d been less sensational they could’ve garnered a bit more sympathy for the main character.

Why didn’t she have curtain’s in her living room?

And what was with the green cushion? 😂

:D If they're divorced he's obviously taken the opportunity to stick the boot in, and if they're not....well they soon will be.
