Lucifer

I have to say that I enjoyed Lucifer a lot more than I thought I would. It takes a really unique spin on police procedurals that works very well. The best part of this show though is easily Tom Ellis as Lucifer! He's such an underrated actor and deserves to be a bigger star than he is. Hopefully once this show wraps up after the series ends next season he will get his chance at superstardom! Going to miss this show once it's gone.

Lucifer Morningstar (Tom Ellis) is the devil. He's tired of Hell and takes a break in L.A. He's running his nightclub Lux with demon disciple Mazikeen (Lesley-Ann Brandt). His brother Amenadiel (D.B. Woodside) demands that he returns to Hell. When a celebrity is killed in a drive-by, police detective Chloe Decker (Lauren German) investigates. He finds himself strangely attached to her and becomes a police consultant. He has the power to draw out a person's inner desires. She's divorced from fellow detective Dan Espinoza (Kevin Alejandro) and single mom to Trixie. Psychiatrist Linda Martin (Rachael Harris) can't keep her hands off of him. In the second season, his mother Charlotte (Tricia Helfer) arrives with an agenda against his father and Ella Lopez (Aimee Garcia) is the new forensics investigator.

This network show is based on a DC comic. It is fun supernatural police thriller. Most of the fun comes directly from Tom Ellis. He is utterly devilish fun. It's all him. Tricia Helfer is a terrific addition but this show really centers around Ellis. He's got the charm, and the playful irreverence. He's perfect for the character. The show manages to add upon the police procedural format by bringing in some great story development. It's a lot daddy issues. It's rather disappointing to have the show canceled after 3 seasons.

ADDITION: There's a 4th season and maybe more after the show gets picked up by Netflix. It gets a little darker with more work on the serial aspect. A little more is asked from Lauren German and she does her best. It's an interesting redirection.

Thank you Netflix. Just as "Serenity" gave us back our "Firefly", and the SyFy Channel gives us back our Sci-Fi, Netflix has given us back our "Lucifer" ,True to the original concept but with some real added value in mythological story-telling. Eve was an interesting charachter. I had her pegged at being Lillith until named as Eve. Lauren German as gorgeous as ever. But mein gott did she look absolutely stunning in the masquerade party sequence with the dark eyeliner egyptian eye of Ra Schwarzze Sonne sequence. Lucy is at his glorious best and worst demon and daemon self. A true Lokian trickster. Eye candy for all the future mother mary's rocking and rolling around on molly in a meaningless existence. The Norse Vikings had a concept of the biblical "End of Days" termed "Ragnarok". Our world will be destroyed at the end of time, but the world will be reborn and a new time will be birthed. Lets hope "Lucifer" will be reborn into the New World of Netflix. Season Five. It does have a devilish symmetry to it. It takes 5 to make a pentagram. A Glorious Gesture to Netflix is to keep giving the love, so they keep giving the love back to us. The Gods of Hollywood abandoned us decades ago. Netflix is the better devil I know.

Love the show. But it went on TV without the possibility to have the original English soundtrack in my country and the voice over was atrocious.

I dont even wanna start explaining how badly they rendered the british accent, that might be very offensive for the actor who was guilty of it at best, for all british people at worst.

On the other hand, that highlighted Tom Ellis' performance. So i'll just try not to think about what i heard again, ever.

I have loved this show up and watched episodes multiple times until this latest season. I would have given them a 10 rating before Season 6.

In Season 6, it felt like the writers forgot what created so many fans and instead focused on trying to include every single social issue they support in the last season. I do not fault them for wanting to include a social issue important to them that naturally fits, but it felt like they were checking off a list to make sure they included transgender, feminist, BLM, police issues, as well as biracial and LGBTQ relationships.

Gone was the cheeky humor, the fun group dynamics and hijinks of the main characters, the playful banter with Chloe and Lucifer, crime solving, Lucifer singing and playing the piano, fun dance numbers, romance with Deckerstar, the supernatural aspects and other angel family members. There were bits here and there, but largely it was overshadowed by the social issues and 3 long drawn out episodes to say goodbyes. It wasn't funny. The characters were stiff with each other. It was boring. I kept watching just to see if it got better. If this season had been the 1st, I never would have watched the show. So sad that this was how this show ended.
