‘Luther’ Series 5 Episode 2 Review: The 8 Burning Questions We Now Have

Elsewhere, it was revealed Alice’s sudden reappearance was connected to the kidnap of George Cornelius’s son, as the show began to unpick the mystery of where she has been for the last few years. 

Here’s the eight burning questions we’re now asking…

But if Vivian is not the mastermind, what is she standing to gain from the killings?
