Lucifer

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.

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.

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!

No spoilers. Watch the show, seriously, you'll love it. Just stop at season four ending. Loved so much about Lucifer until the last two seasons. Completionism is the only reason I made it past season five and three episodes into season six I want to quit.

Prior to that, the show had a good character arc for all of the characters. The banter, the storyline, Tom Ellis, all of it was intriguing and amazing to me through season four. There were some annoying parts in the original series, but no deal breakers. I think the show ended on the perfect moment before moving the series to Netflix. After that, it seems like it lost a directed arc and it's just whatever the show runner can throw at the wall and make it stick.
