It is a shame that this series was only four episodes long as they were all quite gripping; especially this finale. As the previous episode approached its conclusion it looked as if the 'Dice Killer' had been brought to justice
then it emerged that there was a second killer; his twin! The two of them are playing a macabre game where points are awarded according to the difficulty of the kill and the likelihood of capture. One of them may be out of the game but the other is aiming for a high score. While Luther and his team are trying to catch the second killer before he can kill a large number of victims he is also trying to dispose of Toby's body and help Jenny get away from the clutches of Toby's mother and her henchmen.
Luther has always been a fairly melodramatic series and this episode was no exception; he ends up on the wrong end of a gun at one point and at the end confronts the killer in a way that looks as if his life may end at the role of a dice... It is an exciting scene though! As always Idris Elba is great as Luther; the series would definitely have been weaker without him. Aimee-Ffion Edwards was also good as Jenny although the character isn't as interesting as Alice; I do hope she returns if there are further series.
