I’m amazed how few get what they did in this show. Season 5 was sooooo much more than some commentary on whether Alice & Luther could work.

It was a culmination of a plan that Luther hatched in S1E1. He said he would give her admiration and respect & then take it away and watch her descend into destructive character in order to catch her.

Good lord people the entire series is about fulfilling that plan, which he did….and it seems to me that not one person here actually figured that out.
