Warning: Spoilers
A woman opens her door to a man claiming to be a police officer without demanding to see his badge FIRST?

Luther sees the video of Mark being assaulted on his computer. At that point 1) He fails to call Zoe 2) He fails to immediately talk to his boss. That's just implausible.

Luther went to Zoe's house and instead of articulating himself, everything he said was abstract word salad. Essentially, he ACTS in an untrustworthy manner while asking Mark and Zoe to "trust him." Hmmmm.

At this point the script jumps the shark. Luther tells a superior he'll be right with him AND THEN HE DUCKS OUT. . . WHAT ??? Let's see . . . You're being investigated. So the best thing to do is inflame an already bad situation ???? Would never happen in real life.

At this point, the episode has become WILDLY unrealistic. But wait . . .

Luther and Justin have discovered the location of the dead victim and instead of letting Justin phone the location in, Luther stops him shouting, "Trust Me!" The premise was so ridiculous, I actually burst out laughing.

It's also ludicrous that we're supposed to believe Luther still works for the police department. A REAL person would have been fired years ago.

Get real.
