A long series of exciting events and issues that we are experiencing here in the exciting second season. The season opens with Alice, who has been placed in a mental institution. On the other hand, Luther, after a failed suicide attempt, returns to work after being purged of the killing of Zoey, and Justin joins a team led by Superintendent Schenk chasing an assassin, a masked assailant who murders many in the city.
Luther remains notable in the police drama pantheon for this stark perspective: that it's an unwise thing to do good purposely, and a simple thing to do evil inadvertently, and neither one leads to any greater reward, in the end.
