I second ALL of this except for the thoughts on DS Ripley’s relative cuteness. Next to Idris Elba he might as well be an old shoe.  folkinz: Just watched Series 2 of Luther this morning (I really loved it) and had some thoughts: ONLY 4 episodes? Needs more Alice More Mark North as well I found myself really attracted to DS Justin Ripley.  I’m not the only one, right? Did anyone else love that Jenny’s name was Jenny Jones?  It took me an episode to realize that Jenny was Sketch from Skins I know British shows are short, but this was exceptionally short I did a little research (a cursory google really, maybe I should have Bing’d) and discovered the reason for a shorter series 2 was Idris Elba’s filming Thor and Ghost Rider 2 (he could have made much better decisions there, I mean Thor was ok, but Luther is just way better) There will be a third series so hopefully my wishes come true.
