Alice Is the Fly in the Ointment
11 September 2017
Warning: Spoilers
I really like this series. This is the follow-up to Ian Reed's murder of Zoe. He has set up a frame for Luther which is working quite well. Luther is so volatile and so damaged he can be so very stupid. His love for Zoe makes him flammable tinder. Reed is the murderer and if Luther wants him to suffer for what he did, he does the most ridiculous things. When he asks Alice to help him, he is in bed with the devil. She is not going to fall in line as he would wish. The meeting with Reed in the square makes no sense. Luther knew there would be guns trained on him. What was there to gain. It added suspense where it didn't need to be. Luther ignores Alice's advice, Then, at the end, he's got him. He's got his confession. But he lets make up stuff about Zoe that is not even fathomable. Yet he gets mad and gets ambushed and stabbed. And then the game that is played where it is tied and someone has to break the tie. Come on. Still, it's entertaining and sets up the next season.
