I think that was Luther in his original body, not the less powerful gorilla body he has now

Unless the S2 intro was a completely different timeline where Luther never got injured in the past and sent to the moon, it was his gorilla body.

That’s my interpretation of Luther’s powers as well. I also like Luther’s arc, s1 he thinks he’s important to realizing he’s the most useless of all. In s2 he sets up with Ruby as his absent father figure because he still needs daddy’s approval to standing up to sit Reginald at the end. It’s not super dramatic, but it’s waaaay better than Vanya who has the literal same arc as s1

You're probably right. I thought you were talking about the bank robbery from S1. I dont remember exactly what happened, just that he seemed much more impressive than he ever has since

it was. It was each of them at the pinnacle of their abilities. But Luther was definitely gorilla-fied.

I never watched the first season and I binged this over the past couple weeks. I enjoyed it. I think S2 is better overall.
As said many, many time. Number 5 is one impressive actor. Netflix has done well finding quality child actors between this and Stranger Things.

OK, so
Mrs. Haus
and I are slowly consuming this as not to run out of crap we enjoy watching. We're on the episode where one of the Swedes gets Rumored. I'm conflicted now. I am feeling sorry for the Swedes. It's kinda a crappy hand they've been dealt here.
Maybe that changes in the last few episodes, I guess I'll see....

Just finished this up. Enjoyable for the most part and as most others have said the soundtrack is the best part of the show. I preferred season 1 to season 2. Ellen Page is just fucking terrible in this and I can't stop starring at her forehead.
The lesbian story arc was extremly off putting to me for some reason and at first I thought maybe because it was just holywood shoving homosexuallity down peoples throats again. But Klaus' sexuality didn't bother me one bit and actually fit his open minded free spirit character well. I think what bothered me about it was Vanya basically coming into a family and destroying a marriage and convincing the wife to kidnap the kid from the father. The father was actually somewhat sympathetic even though he was a schmuck. Of course they killed him and just brushed that off as if thats the natural outcome for when women liberate themselves. It was a story arc that was pretty morally bankrupt and made it hard to sympathize with Vanya at all. What if Diego had dropped into a neighborhood, shacked up at a household nice enough to take him in, seduced the wife, convinced her to kidnap the child when the dad wasnt that bad and then confused and corrupted the wife enough that she ends up murdering the husband, who again wasnt that bad. I don't think we would consider his character the good guy.

I couldn't quite put my finger on what I didn't like about the lesbian plot, but you made it clear. Looking forward to season 3!

The character may have been a douchenozzle but he wasn't a "bad guy". He didn't beat the wife, abuse the son or even cheat on his wife. Most he was guilty of was being an inattentive husband to a bored housewife. I didn't feel like he deserved to have his marriage and family destroyed and his son stolen from him. I never once felt on Vanya's side. and knowing that I should be rooting for her but wasn't was just offputting to me If the writers would have made the guy an alcoholic womanizer that passed his wife around to his buddies at xmas parties then I don't think I would have had an issue.
