Just finished watching it. The cottage owners in the Sussex coast nearish to us must make an absolute fortune as they are always being used.

Watched it and was gripped, only afterwards I wondered, how did the killer manage to get into the air-con duct, pull the cover back over it AND move the fridge back in front of the entrance????

Just watched it on catch-up. (Kept nodding off last night) I thought it was really good.

My DD and I both saw an episode when Luther first started that, if I remember right, featured a woman alone in a house with a small baby and a swimming pool. We were so traumatised by it that neither of us has watched another one. I did start to watch last nights and was petrified right from the beginning; I did fall asleep after a while so now have to watch it again. Thought the Scandi dramas had toughened me up sufficiently.

Well, I thought it was well written, well acted and gripping. But there again I like Minette Walters psychological thrillers which can be a bit gruesome too.

I switched off at the point when a character said "Straight up gov" - for goodness sake!

It was definitely gruesome, and I did shut my eyes at times. Although I watched the last series DS did have to remind me of a couple of points.
I will watch next week.

I enjoyed the last series- watched 30 minutes of last night's and decided I did not have a clue what was going on so switched off.

I wondered why it was that I had never watched Luther after seeing just one episode when it first started. I watched some of it last night and then realised what the probable reason had been. I thought it was extremely sadistic and gruesome and after it became increasingly so I turned over. I won't be watching again.

Did anyone watch last nights programme? I really enjoyed the last series and love Idris Elba but somehow it wasn't as good. It seemed to have every crime show cliché possible. Perhaps it was me I was tired and a bit grumpy.
