ALICE is back! Woot!!! I couldn’t stand her at first, but man, that sociopath really grew on me! She was very much missed last series!

I love it, but cmon, 3rd season? No, this is the 3rd installment of the 1st season. What is up with these 4 episode chunks? Cmon guys, put a real season together, this show is terrific, stop treating it like a mini series.

- i agree with Rick. what is up with this 4 episode chunk business ? I like Alice, Luther rocks. great show.

- Rumor is that it’s just that hard to get the cast together to do a full season. That’s why Idris has been pushing hard for a Luther movie (which I hope happens, BTW)….

Anxiously awaiting this new mini-season of Luther. Imo, Luther stands with Orphan Black and Doctor Who as the top three shows on BBCA. The harder question for me is: What is the order of the top 3 ?

Idris & Ruth’s chemistry is off the charts! ONLY 6 episodes and a movie left. Boo!

We’ve never made series (seasons) longer than about 13 episodes, unlike the US where 22 can be considered the norm.

I suppose that sometimes, less is more.

i LOVE this series…and the idea of alice the sociopath as somewhat of a guardian angel was really an amazing idea…while i wish the seasons were a bit longer….i’ll suffer, since they really bring it…and if longer means they cant, then it is what it is.

while i am a very red-blooded american, i will always humbly bow to the brits when it comes to entertainment…raising my china to them!
