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.
Featured reviews
FIRST SEASON : 9/10
SECOND SEASON: 9/10.
THIRD SEASON : 8/10.
FOURTH SEASON : 8,4/10.
FIFTH SEASON : 8,3/10. (First part : 7,7/10, second part: 8,8/10)
SIXTH SEASON : 7/10.
First and second are the best seasons of this tv show, no filler episodes, pure entertainment and the chemistry between Ellis and German is great. So good that i place them amongst my favorite seasons of every tv show i have watched, and i have watched a lot of them.
Third season includes some of the best episodes of the whole show. However, there are many filler-mediocre episodes here. A DEVIL OF MY WORD is probably the best episode of LUCIFER.
Fourth season is more "tight". No filler episodes, better production, Lauren German's acting is getting better (I love her character but she is not the best actress of the world). Magic is still there, but the best episodes of this season are not as good as the best episodes of former seasons.
Fifth season is uneven. First part lost a step. But the second part made a glorious comeback, reminding the former greatness of this show.
Sixth season is the worse season by far, but it's not bad. Just pales in comparison with the previous ones. Could have been better, the subplot with daughter was not very good but it was still a good season overall. And the ending is satisfying.
........................................................................................................................................................... Tom Ellis created one of the most charming, magnetic and charismatic characters in the history of television. Supporting characters were likeable and interesting too, this would not have been so successful without them. This is the definition of entertainment, if you are looking for a fantasy comedy/crime tv show. It's light-hearted, fun and very touching at some times. At its core, it's a romance. A love story. Never recaptured the magic of the first three seasons, but i would gladly watch 10 seasons more.

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.
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.
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.
Thank Luci himself that fox cancelled this show because Netflix is doing a much better job only one season in!
Did you know
- TriviaTom 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).
- GoofsThe 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.
