I don't think it precludes the possibility of flashback episodes.

Would be a bit of a reach, wouldn't it?

When Minimag and Higgins get it on would be a good time for mini's father to show up and tell him that Higgins is really his sister.

Watched this one last night... not sure why I keep doing this.

Robotic voiceovers, forced conversations. It just doesn't feel real like the old one did.

"Magnum & Associates" - yes!

Still don't like the new Luther. Probably never will. In all fairness, I didn't like the old one either -- that is, until I met the new one. Now I'm starting to love the old one.

Yet another unsatisfying episode.

On the positive site: At least TC & Rick had real roles in this one. But yes, I have the same question that others do: Does nobody here have a real job like in the old show? Where are Higgins's philanthropic pursuits? Why is Kumu a character?
