Lucifer

The family of immortal on the Earth. SEASON 02: When I watched the first season when it was originally aired, it had some serious fan following, but I won't say it was very very famous at the time. Now, after the second season, seems everything has changed. Drastically the votings, rating, reviews have increased. IF one more season with similarly powerful characters, story comes out, then it surely would be among the greatest like 'Dexter', 'Breaking Bad' et cetera. I am confident it will go up to the seventh to set up a perfect finale in the next half decade. I did not review the first season, because I was not sure it would get better in the following season. I thought it was a one season thing. Now I'm here with awesome progression in the second season. I loved every episode. I've rated a few of them are out of out as they are well deserved. Firstly, for this to get better was the characters. A couple of new ones added. Not some sidekicks, but yes, they were with a stronger hold in the main narration. I loved Charlotte, the Lucifer's mother. That's the best thing happened here. Particularly the casting for it was the best pick. Tricia Helfer was like never seen before hot. The way the season ended was sad, if you had loved her. I hope she returns none other than as Charlotte in the future. Aimee Garcia was another highlitable cast. Her inclusion makes the crime fighting more interesting. She's a mini Dexter, without the dark desires. Each episode was unique, but the overall story flow was excellent, unlike the previous season where each episode has one crime to solve. Here too with the same style, but some time extended further for the next part. There was an aim for story to head, but the way it was presented was good. Shared it all throughout the season, while each episode had its own agenda. Lots of humours, as well as actions, adventures, suspense and a bit romantic. So, if you haven't started, it's time to do so, because as I said it will be one of the best television programme on making that you should not miss while you have chance to follow from the beginning itself. All the actors were great, a well written and shot series. The season's finale and its final scene created more curiosity in me going to the third. I'm hoping for another magnificent season, which is due in a couple of months at the end of the year (2017). Highly recommended! _9/10_

This show started in 2016 and has six seasons, ending(?) 2021. It turned to trash around the end of the 2nd or 3rd seasons. The storytelling for the show or premise was a mortal female cop having to work with the Devil to solve crimes. The Devil is on earth because he became fed up with his role as Hell's Ruler. And the writers did very well with the Lucifer character. Many aspects to the Devil being supernatural came through wonderfully for the audience, one profound trait being _Lucifer_ (Tom Ellis) refusing, or being under an angel geas, to be unable to speak a lie; so he goes around telling people the truth about who he is. Not fighting this, or speaking around the truth makes the facet a very comically astute trait to the character for the show. The way other mortal characters react to the news which is either to dismiss the claim outright or gloss over it as ramblings completes the humor; especially when they realize the truth through some supernatural display from the Devil himself. And ofcourse the female detective, _Chloe Decker_ (Lauren German) also does not believe him, her job being based solely in proof and fact--evidence. While there are numerous instances producing evidence to Lucifer's claim on who is, the detective still (ofcourse) can't believe it. That is until Lucifer insist on proving it to Chloe directly. To both their surprise, he finds out he can be injured when she is within close proximity to the Prince of Hell. The show did very well, even if one could foresee where hetero partnerships in tv shows eventually go. That is foregone. It's how the show gets the audience there which determines if there will be a following season. And I will admit, I did not like the show. I felt it to be a bit contrived, BUT worth giving a chance. I, personally, thought the devil could be a bit more of a bad-ass; instead of just what the guy appeared to be, a cocktail party pianoist. Other aspects of Lucifer's divinity were introduced such as soul-deals being made, other angels, and eventually demons. The first introduction to Lucifer's astranged family was _Amenidiel_ (D.B. Woodside), brother-angel, self-proclaimed greatest warrior of heaven's Silver City, and the right-hand hatchet man for God. My first "dark cloud" of foreboding on the show peeked through when I heard Amenidiel address the Devil with the nick-name: (...jeez) "Luci." Pronounced "Lu-see." But I (with effort) dismissed it. I told myself "GIVE it a chance." I did, and the show did not fail to deliver entertainment. Ellis and German's characters have good chemistry in front of the camera, and the plethora of well-known TV stars featured in the episodes, kept everyones' attention and pleased to look forward to the next show. Other characters to become regulars co-stars include Lucifer's right-hand, the head Executioner of Hell (...sighs) Maze. _Maze_ is played by Lesley-Ann Brandt from cable tv's hit NC-17 rated show, _Spartacus_. Maze's character is easily summed up (in a good way) as kung-fu Biker Bitch with knives and a penchant for extreme BDSM when in a good mood. When she is in a bad mood she fills the role of Amenidiel's mirror opposite for the Devil. The two are not on the same power level, with Amenidiel being the top warrior angel, but when earthbound, Maze has the upper hand in dealing with and understanding humans. There is _Dan Espenoza_ (Kevin Alejandro -- whose credited filmography is very strong in TVseries) as Chloe's ex-crooked detective husband, and their daughter _Trixie Espenoza_ (Scarlett Estavez). Also introduced is Lucifer's psychiatrist, _Dr. Linda Martin_ (Rachel Harris), whom which Lucifer constantly misinturpret's her advice with which she futiley tries to guide him. Lastly was the (I think) sudden appearence of character _Ella Lopez_ (Aimee Garcia). The plucky and "loveable" forensic specialist. All these characters make up a pretty good cast and the writers did the show and characters justice. The show looked promising, until...[que sound bite] >DUNT, DUNT, DUUUUUUUUUUHHHH!!!!! The third and fourth seasons moved along, but then the fourth season had to end with God becoming _senile!?_ Loosing his powers..!? Then _joining_ his wife in her reality to be essentially a stay-at-home dad!?! As Bill Cosby would say, "What in the filth-flarn-filth is going on with this show!?!" Yeah. I didn't have high hopes for the following season. And I was right. The fifth season has Lucifer as a bumbling idiot, blamed for being an absentee father by a daughter (Briana Hildebrand -- Negasonic Teenage Warhead--[though a lot chunkier now], _Deadpool_), he never knew about, who is from the future. She claims he disappeared before she was born; abandoning a pregnant Decker. And let's just cast aside all that lore about the apocalypse should Lucifer ever beget a woman with child. No, let's look past Lucifer making a fool of himself trying to assuage this young lady's misplaced anger over something he apparently had no choice or control. Let's forget he lied to her in the second episode, something he is not supposed to be able to do, about him knowing (through emotion, not proof) she was his daughter. Hey, she's angry and gay--because ofcourse, her father wasn't around--, and is something of an ungrateful bitch; so that means she can act out however she wants. >eyerolleghk< when suddenly Eve's ex-husband, Adam, shows up. And unlike her, he's whiter than Johnny Appleseed & Wonderbread put together. I thought this was supposed to inclusive & diverse...?? The one thing I can say about Woke-Hollywood nowadays, is that if a white guy is on the scene you can gar-rown-tee he's a bad guy. Don't believe me, just ask Cain (season 3). You'd think Woke-Hollywood would be able to stick to their marshmellow guns and find a well-tanned good looking Hispanic or Hindu to play Adam. But noooooo. It's not a show if you don't reveal how evil the white man can be. Yeah, Much like this review, Lucifer went on waaaaaaay too long. I gave it 2 out 5 stars because I liked the first 3 seasons. After that, the show has my condolences.
