    Summary

    Reviewers say 'Lucifer' is acclaimed for its distinctive mix of comedy, fantasy, and crime, featuring exceptional performances, particularly Tom Ellis as Lucifer. The show's intricate characters and captivating narratives are frequently mentioned. However, some criticize inconsistent writing, especially in later seasons, and issues with character growth and plot consistency. Disappointment is noted regarding the finale and the perceived change in tone and quality post-Netflix transition. Despite these drawbacks, many find the series entertaining and recommend it for its charm and lead characters.

    Great Series

    I am 2 series in and just love this show.

    I would say that this is (so far at least) on par with another series that I love, Grimm.

    Tom Ellis as Lucifer is just brilliant!

    Enjoyed It!

    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.

    Tom Ellis is such an underrated actor!

    Lucifer really surprised me by how much I enjoyed it. First of all, I can't say enough about Tom Ellis. He is perfect for this role. I know a lot of people have already said this but he's a really underrated actor. I can't wait to see what he does next. Lucifer is based off the Neil Gaiman comics. It's part fantasy, part comedy, part mystery, among other things. Some of the seasons seem a bit stretched out with some filler episodes but overall every season is terrific. Lucifer was canceled by Fox after three seasons but the fans were so upset and loud about it that Netflix picked it up and it continued for another three seasons, ending after Season 6. I already miss this show now that it's gone. We'll always have the reruns though.

    Please watch with the original english voices

    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.

    all about Ellis

    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.

    • Trivia
      Tom Ellis (Lucifer) does his own singing throughout the show, although does not play the piano on screen. In early interviews for the show, he said he didn't "really know" how to. In 2019, a video of him accompanying himself on a piano whilst singing showed he's since added this skill to his repertoire (however, he has said in several interviews since that he is still only playing ¨air piano¨ in scenes as Lucifer).
    • Goofs
      The pilot establishes that Lux is located in the same building as the El Capitan Theater in the 6800 block of Hollywood Boulevard, but subsequent episodes use aerial establishing shots of the Sunset Tower Hotel over two miles away on Sunset Boulevard for Lucifer's penthouse, which is supposedly in the same building as Lux.
