Episode 2
On the trail of a horrifying cannibalistic killer, Luther is dogged at every step by ghosts from his past. Isolated and on edge, it takes every fibre of Luther's being to keep it together. Can a cold case help unlock a mystery that's tormenting him to distraction?
Meanwhile, the serial killer is still on the loose. Benny's hacking skills have revealed a list of hundreds of potential victims but, with a rapidly escalating number of crime scenes, Luther must use all his ingenuity to work out where the killer is headed next. Discovering it's all part of a macabre endgame, Luther is forced to put himself and his new colleague Emma into the heart of danger to try and stop the murdering madness.
In the realm of television series that blend humor with gripping crime drama, *HIP - High Intellectual Potential* stands out as a must-watch gem. This French series introduces us to Morgane Alvaro, a remarkable woman whose life takes an unexpected turn when her extraordinary intellect is recognized by the police. With an IQ of 160 and three children to care for, Morgane's journey from a humble cleaner to a brilliant consultant for law enforcement captivates audiences and invites them to explore not just thrilling mysteries but also the complexities of family dynamics.
The show is expertly crafted by talented showrunners Alice Chegaray-Breugnot, Nicolas Jean, and Stéphane Carrié, who breathe life into each episode with clever writing and engaging character arcs. As viewers follow Morgane's adventures alongside her skeptical partner Adam Karadec—played by Mehdi Nebbou—they are treated to not only intricate crime plots but also moments filled with laughter and warmth. The chemistry between characters adds depth to the storyline, making it resonate well with fans of both comedy and crime genres alike.
One of the most compelling aspects of *HIP* is its ability to tackle serious themes while maintaining a light-hearted tone. The series cleverly intertwines Morgane's professional challenges as she solves crimes with her personal struggles as a mother navigating relationships with two ex-husbands all while raising three children. It beautifully reflects how intelligence can be both a blessing and a burden in everyday life—a theme echoed in similar shows like *Only Murders in the Building* which also showcases quirky characters solving crimes together.
