Just watched the (leaked) pilot. Loved Tom Ellis, very charming and funny. I wish this was airing now; I'm hungry for more. :P

[Slade]

Hopefully this is the only thread.



Anyway, did anybody else catch this? I thought it was really good. I'm definently going to stick around and see how it goes. Worth checking out.

[Autbot_Benz]

IGN said it wasn't that good and took liberties from the comics. I bet this show will be just like Constantine and cancelled before its 1st season is done.

I'll watch anything with Lauren German in it.

[TheCanadiandrome]

Really great show imo

[Commenter 42]

Just finished ep1; I love it.

This is my kind of schmaltz. It's just corny enough, without being completely terrible.
I like the spin; he's a hedonistic cat, with a vindictive streak.

Also, loads of hot people.

[Commenter 42]

I.LOVE.THIS.SHOW.

Why? What is wrong with me? So much bad acting, so predictable...

I'm hooked.

He just played fetch with a kid. Damn you Bruckheimer.

[MsMarvelDuckie]

Yeah I'm loving this too. Don't know anything about the comic, but this is fun, clever in a twisted way, and Lucifer is so danged honest about exactly who and what he is, which a refreshing take on the "Prince of Lies". And apparently, he thinks kids are like dogs.... :trolleye:

[Commenter 42]

Exactly. I'm not a believer, but as far as Devils go, this one is the most... plausible? He's fun to watch...

I'm not sure how you categorize this particular brand of humor, but I laugh...the fetch line was classic.

Idk, guilty pleasure... Glad someone else agrees...


Lauren German has a great insta and Twitter, has a wildly sardonic wit, and might be one of the sexiest women alive -

But damn, she's a terrible actress. She needs to find the character...hell, find any character, and give it a go. Maybe she's just, bad?

[MsMarvelDuckie]

I like the fact that he thinks of humans as toys to play with, but gets mad if someone breaks one of his favorites or interferes in his games with them. This is exactly how I've always thought a higher power would see us. We are their entertainment....

[Autbot_Benz]

I can't believe this but Lucifer gets a second season.

Lucifer ‏@LuciferonFOX 1h1 hour ago

A deal with #Lucifer has been made. http://fox.tv/LuciferS2 #LuciferSeason2

As a huge Constantine fan this annoys me that Constantine got shafted by NBC and CW never bothered to pick it up. but this show is actually doing well

[Slade]

Well I'm glad. I love the show.

[MsMarvelDuckie]

So glad to see it's getting another season! I'm really digging this show which has possibly surpassed Sleepy Hollow and Gotham as my favorite current show.

[Candy Kappa]

I watched episode 2 last night, not a fan.

I'm not sure how you can do a extremely loose adaptation of the Lucifer comic and still make a generic, safe and incredibly boring Devil, even more so the then the comic version.

It just felt like the run-of-the-mill cop and quirky character team-up show, and the actor almost feels like he's doing a parody of David Tennant's Purple Man and The Doctor.

Which is a shame, cause Lucifer is a pretty cool character in Sandman. So there's something there to work with even though the spin-off Lucifer comic is a bit lackluster.

[Wesley]

I watched the trailer and I liked it. I thought it was interesting and funny. I never heard of the comic until I looked up the show on the Internet. Too bad Lucifer hasn't been picked up an Irish tv channel yet, as I'd probably like to watch the show.

[Commenter 42]

This series...:(
Totally screwed up what could have been fun.

Was 8/10, now maybe a 2/10.

:tvomit:

[MsMarvelDuckie]

How so? We've got an ex keeping dirty secrets, a kid who idolizes the literal devil, an angel trying to manipulate and/or force him back to Hell, and a psychiatrist who can't say no to him. Even a plot to assassinate him! It's been bretty d@mn fun so far.

[MsMarvelDuckie]

Season two starts in a couple of weeks! Just caught the preview, and- Lucifer has a MOTHER?! :teek: I'm guessing Lilith maybe? This could be interesting.

[Candy Kappa]

I wouldn't be surprised if they deviated even more from the comics. Since lucifer and Michael was created first by Yahweh as a catalyst to creation, and the rest of the host was created later.

Or it's just a nickname to Lilith, since she's the first woman.

[sdp]

I've heard great stuff from a friend I really trust and it seems like my type of show. I didn't even know this was a thing. Is this in continuity with the Constantine show?

No Constantine and Lucifer are separate continuity's

[newfan]

This show has been recommended to me a few times so I will give it a look.
I also heard that Tom Welling is season 3, not sure how true that is though.

[Raph's Girl]

I also heard that Tom Welling is season 3, not sure how true that is though.

It's true. He's a cop named Lt. Marcus Pierce.

Cool thanks for that :)

I finished watching season 1 of Lucifer and I don't know. Show is alright but I can't say I love it or that I'm anxiously waiting for S2 to show up.

The "I am Lucifer" persona while awesome, kind of got old after a few episodes. The finale was a lot of fun but yeah it didn't hit the highs the first episode had.

This show needs more dark humor and it tried too hard to show you "look the devil is changing for the good" that was so over done.


Is S2 more of S1 or does it take my criticism into account?

[newfan]

We are way behind on Lucifer over in the UK, season 1 comes up as 'new' I've watched a couple of eps and was surprised to see a few familiar faces from other shows. So far I like it, not sure if we're likely to catch up with the US though.

[MsMarvelDuckie]

Season three starts on Monday. So far the show has had two brothers, his mom(whom I LOVE as "Goddess of all Creation" with a twisted sense of motherhood) dad showed up (briefly), and of course his demoness "sidekick". And it looks like he may finally show the detective the truth. The trailer for the new season has me intrigued! To be honest, as far as staying true to the comic I neither know anything about that nor do I care at this point. It was always supposed to be a LOOSE adaptation, and I'm fine with that. I love where it has been going so far, with the mix of both Biblical lore and supernatural elements, moral ambiguity, and real world issues.

Looks like you got a stay of execution, Lucifarians!

Lucifer Resurrected! Netflix Picks Up Season 4 of Cancelled Fox Drama (https://tvline.com/2018/06/15/lucifer-netflix-season-4-renewed-returning/) (tvline.com)

[newfan]

Oh, I didn't even know it had been cancelled. We're only at Season 2 here

[Candy Kappa]

Same, we've been stuck on season 2 for a good while now. Hopefully it'll pick up sone lace now that Netflix is picking up season 4

[newfan]

We're only on ep 5 so far.
I actually don't have Nefflix but given how big it is getting I think I'm going to get it.

[sdp]

Season 2,3 better than 1? As I mentioned I didn't find it that "witty" as I was lead to believe and it was just a bit boring and trying too hard in the first season.

[MsMarvelDuckie]

YMMV, but I am loving this series. So glad it got picked up by Netflix! I may not get to watch it save from dvd sets, but yay! Lucifer is "saved"! And after that last finale, I can't wait to see what happens.

[newfan]

The new season starts on Netflix on May 8th.
I'm going to guess it will be 10 eps in-line with the other Netflix shows. Anyway, I'll be watching.

[newfan]

Netflix has announced a 5th and Final season or this show.

Though the revival is a little short lived with 2 10 ep seasons I am glad they picked it up to finish, I found the last enjoyable, looking forward to the final season.

[sdp]

If I didn't like the first season a lot, is it worth checking out the rest of the series or just more of the same?

To me the show needed more wit/dark humor.

[Andrew NDB]

Wife put the first one of the new season on. Seems like q la little bit too much procedural stuff vs. any real meat. Not terrible though. I laughed a few times.

[Slade]

It doesn't sound like the show is what you want, so probably not.
I actually love it and would say just binge watch the whole series. It is interesting. It's not really must see tv though.

[newfan]

Not sure many are watching but season 5 is up tomorrow, originally it was to be the last season with 16 eps, now that there will be a 6th season as the final I am not sure if there will be extra eps in this one still or not. Obviously will be able to see when it comes up.

[Andrew NDB]

From what I gather, only Season 5 Part 1 is out. Season 5 Part 2 never got to finish filming due to COVID but was nearly done. Soon, they will wrap that up and put that out and THEN they will work on Season 6, which will be the final one. But they said that about Season 5, too, so who knows.

So I gave this show more of a chance, starting at the beginning (earlier, seasons 1-3 weren't available on Netflix... now they are). Beyond the one episode of season 4 I was halfway watching that was oh-kay months back, I've been avoiding it largely due to the marketing of it... which, to me, paints it like "old lady porn" (i.e., TV designed to titillate generally older women, like "Outlander" or whatever). I'm now at episode 6 and am really enjoying it. The chemistry between Lucifer and Chloe is palpable. The lead actor playing Lucifer seems to genuinely be having the time of his life in the role and it's a bit infectious. My only critique would be that structurally, it didn't need to be a "murder of the week" procedural. There could be some episodes like that, but I'd like to see them take breaks (or maybe it does later on? i have no idea)... like, "Lucifer goes to France" or "Chloe's dark secret" or something. I don't know.

I only came in around season 2 so should go back and look at season 1. It does still have the murder of the week but not sure how the focus compares to season 1 with developing storylines.

Agreed, Tom Ellis looks like he loves this role.

Season 6 was granted after a lot of fan request but they did say this really is the final one.

[Andrew NDB]

It does still have the murder of the week but not sure how the focus compares to season 1 with developing storylines.

The "murder of the week" stuff is literally the least interesting part of the show. Yeah, it enables us to see Lucifer working with Chloe and getting in her head and all... but we could get that in other situations as well.

I think Fox envisioned this as like "Evil CSI" that would go on for 8+ seasons and end up in syndication to where you could almost watch any episode out of order and be fine. Now Netflix has it and they're just kind of... following suit to not break form? Eh. No idea.

[MsMarvelDuckie]

As someone who watched it almost religiously up until they moved it to Netflix, the show was in fact intended as a crime drama focused on Lucifer's "hobby" of helping solve crimes because he is bored of his role in ruling Hell, has developed an attachment to humans, and to Chloe in particular. The murder investigation aspect is simply the backdrop for his interactions with humans and with other members of his family (God shows up in one episode, his Mother is featured in seasons2-3, and you have several angels.) I recently bought the season 4 dvd set to get caught up, and I'm hoping to get the last two when they become available as well, but I kind of like how the crimes often rouse his "unholy wrath", and allow him to show his devil-side.

I liked the episode with God. That was good. Also the one with Uriel. And the one where he went to Hell and his mom went after him to save him... really well written ones.

I'm on season 5 now (I was taking care of my mom post-spinal fusion surgery for a week+... not much else to do but binge watch), just a couple into it. I see that they only take little breaks from the police procedural stuff, but always come right back to it. I have, however, just decided to accept it and whatever.

My biggest critique would be Maze. They never really know what to do with her. She worked in the beginning as Lucifer's ultra loyal viper/bodyguard... but since then? She turns on him over nothing, moves into Chloe's house, then moves into the psychiatrist's... and is like constantly unhappy and bitchy and always betraying everyone over and over again. And "Bounty Hunter Maze"? They probably just should have had Lucifer take her back to Hell when she wanted to go and that's that.

I was thinking that's some fast binging given the seasons were longer before Netflix took over, I hope your mother is doing okay.

Maze can be temperamental, though she is a demon .. struggling with her demons and trying to adapt, I don't like how she turned in season 5 though.

Are you familiar with the comics Andrew? Just wondering how it compares so far as differentiation.

[Andrew NDB]

She's been all over the map since the start. It feels less like they're making her a manic demon and just the writers trying to figure out what to do with her and never really figuring it out.

Are you familiar with the comics Andrew? Just wondering how it compares so far as differentiation.

Honestly I remembering reading that years ago but I kind of forgot about it. I mean, that there is a comic at all. I'll peek at it soon.

Also, a little confused as to why they took away Amenadiel's powers of time stoppage so early on. They made it seem like that was going to be a thing for the show, then he lost his wings... but then he got them back. But still no powers back? What gives?

[Andrew NDB]

Watching the new episodes that came out a few days ago. The "Daniel Espinoza: Naked and Afraid" episode is probably the best in the entire series. Fantastic.

[Slade]

Finished the season out yesterday. Is there going to be a season 6? I hope there is. There should be a season 6. Anyway, I enjoyed it. Think I'll give the whole series another run though soon.

Yes there will be a season 6, it'll be the last.

Only got up to finishing the ep Andrew was talking about so far, also agreed with him that it was a good one.
I came in at season 2 so still need to go back and catch season 1.

[Andrew NDB]

Yeah, they wrapped 6 a while back. I'm a little curious if they intend to break it up into two halves like they did 5, though.

[Slade]

6 being the last makes sense with the way the story is going.

They probably will split it. Seems that's Netflix thing now. Annoying as it is.

Seems like they wrapped 6 awfully fast from the time they began on it (NOT 5B) to finish. It may be a one and done 10 episode thing like season 4 was.
