Season two of 'Luther' is just as great as season one, despite being two episodes shorter.
Idris Elba remains outstanding in the lead role. Ruth Wilson (Alice) doesn't feature as highly, while Warren Brown (Ripley) is likeable once more. Saskia Reeves (Teller) isn't involved, which I'm happy about; nothing personal whatsoever, I just didn't enjoy her character in S1. Dermot Crowley (Schenk) has a bigger part, which I'm a fan of.
As for newcomers, it's a tad iffy. I like the acting of Nikki Amuka-Bird (Gray), but her role isn't written all that well in my opinion - despite Gray's objectives, she comes across annoying which I assume isn't intentional? If it is, that's weird. Elsewhere, Aimee-Ffion Edwards (Jenny) is solid but David Dawson (Toby) & Co. aren't interesting, but at least the storyline that they are involved with is.
Overall, I again thoroughly enjoyed this show. Some very good plots in there.

A long week. Shorter with some new players but still good works.
