Is there going to be a second series of Luther? That was amazing.
Wesley: Hey. Hey, Gunn. Is something weird going on? … Charles, you just peed on my shoes. Gunn: I'll be damned. That's weird.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I haven't heard yet whether there will be or not. The press has mostly been 'Oh my God that was so melodramatically terrible in a really good way' about it, so I think there probably will be.

Idris definitely chewed all the scenery in arm's reach, but I think it was quite taut and exciting.

The Guardian has been blogging a bit here and there on it - [link]
I wanted to play a cop drama cliche drinking game while watching, but I think that way cirrhosis lies.
Just catching up on Natter - your cousin is Diane Abbott? I'm very glad she's running.

Yeah. Thanks. She probably stands no chance in hell, but at least she's a different choice from the rest, you know?
Will check out the Guardian link.

I'm completely behind her (yes, partly because she's a woman, although also because she actually seems to give a damn). It's definitely a good thing that she's a real alternative.
Someone catch me up on Luther. Worth getting hold of, since I missed it?

Always Anti-fascist!
If it ever crosses the Pond, I'll watch it, but I'm an Idris fangirl.

Hrm, probably. It's utterly cliche-ridden and filled with cartoon villains, but you can tell the whole cast are loving it. It should still be on BBC iPlayer I think.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
Seska,
I watched "Luther" and I think it is pretty good until the last 2 or so episodes. It almost like the show went completely off the rails at a particular point and it never regained its footing. It was pretty decent until then.
The finale needed a Greek chorus.
I heard the ratings weren't great, so I don't think it will be back.
