The one thing I find difficult to philosophically and spiritually reconcile is how the Law & Order franchise can have hundreds of episodes, but "Luther" has less than twenty. What kind of loving deity would allow that (for it's obvious what benefit such action provide a non-loving one)? I don't have an answer.
Then again, Job never got an answer in his eponymous book. He was rebuked for his audacity and lack of adequate perspective but not given an explanation. The closest he got to a consolation was to be told something along the lines of, 'well, it's above your pay grade.'
I suppose I have to invoke the adage 'God works in mysterious ways,' or some such phrase, just to make sense of what otherwise be considered incoherent chaos and incomprehensible madness. Remind myself that the alternative could be worse: never experiencing "Luther" at all: a reality I don't want to imagine possible even in theory.
At least we have twenty episodes, and if we're lucky, more episodes to follow, but twenty episodes is better than ten, and ten is better than five, and five is better than zero.
