prometheus-posterIf all you want out of Prometheus is a great looking sci-fi adventure that asks big questions about the history of life on Earth (without the slightest interest in answering them), has a couple of disturbing Alien sequences the series is known for, and shows us where Aliens come from, well this movie was made just for you. If you wanted something more than the bare minimum, like an engaging story that doesn’t feel the need to talk down to its audience every step of the way, well, then this probably isn’t the summer flick you’ve been hoping for. But, hey, at least it’s better than Alien 3.

“He’s not a dirty copper. He’s a man over a barrel. That’s a completely different thing.”

Luther (Idris Elba) was successful in freeing Jenny (Aimee-Ffion Edwards) from the prostitution ring, but that victory came with a price (more than just the nail driven through his hand). The detective finds himself blackmailed by Toby (David Dawson) to procure information about a competitor of the Baba gang. When Luthor is overseen taking classified files from the chief’s office by Gray (Nikki Amuka-Bird) we know things are going to get more complicated before they’re resolved.

Series Two continues with one very long day for DCI John Luther (Idris Elba). Ripley (Warren Brown) has been taken hostage by the serial killer Cameron Pell (Lee Ingleby) whose end game is far more nefarious than a slowly rising body count. Luther is blackmailed by Jenny’s boss (Pam Ferris) who wants very much for Luther to silence a witness who could put her grandson Toby (David Dawson) in jail. And, just to top things off, Alice Morgan (Ruth Wilson) decides to break into his apartment and pay him a visit. Like I said, big day.
