There's good news and bad news for Luther in this week's second episode of the current run.
Luther's hot date with Mary (Sienna Guilllory), in a greasy spoon
On the favourable front, his romance with car-crash Mary has taken a turn. After last week's rooftop rendezcous, the pair this week play coy in a cafe.
But... if it looked too good to be true, it is, with this steamy liaison interrupted by a call to crime.
Luther having a good time, until the phone rings
Meanwhile, following last week's fisticuffs with Ripley, Luther is working on his own, determined to predict his copycat killer's next move.
'Luther' is, perhaps, not the most realistic cop show, but certainly one of the most enjoyable.
'Luther' is on tonight at 9pm on BBC1. Pictures below...
