Chloe Does Lucifer

2:15

Wine, Women, Song.

He spent a long time drowning his guilt at the bar yet found respect and even, perchance a modicum of love in the form of a beautiful partner, whom he knew should never be dragged into his world of shadows he was at the centre of and thus he was determined to protect her by shielding her from the horrors he had experienced.

Having enjoyed this series immensely up until now I am wondering what drug the writers took to write something so off key, incoherent and logically inconsistent. In this one episode Lucifer becomes a babbling idiot losing all the intuition and intelligence and experience he had shown and accumulated until then. Chloé is disgracefully superficial. We see her following Lucifer's instructions through her earbud like a mindless robot and not at all like the brilliant detective we have come to expect, and believing her to be devoid of social graces goes against everything we have seen her do in many many episodes. As for Linda, the psychiatrist, being strongly affected by the fact she is not affected by her deeply disturbed former husband's death is convincing up to a point but not very because this immensely experienced and helpful women who has helped so many characters in this series now appears to lose it all before being consoled by Amenadiel sympathetic amenities. It was just an excuse to get her to lie down fully clothed on the beach sand. Nice but the crisis is inconsistent. In other words the writers ignored the personalities, the development, the experience of these three characters and just made them play parts that suited the writers' fancy.

Top Meet an App for an allegedly 'Elite' clientele, has become a focus for a murder investigation, Lucifer's ego has him convinced that he naturally fits, the companies demographic.

But Detective Chloe Decker manages to swing it, so that she can be the insider on the police sting operation.

Is Charlotte Richards becoming unhinged, or at the very least paranoid, that she is desperately seeking assistance and guidance, but all she manages to achieve is to alienate the very person that she hopes can help her.

Top Meet is effectively analogous for the 'Kardashian Culture' that is infesting modern day capitalist society, I am an old fart of 74 and I grew up from my parents wartime generation, that meant regular jobs, families and responsibilities.

Whereas today is presented and indeed is sold as the 'Diposable Generation' where the very last thing modern young people want to do is to emulate their parents, and heaven forfend that they actually have to get their hands dirty.

Social Media is after all about Image and Appearances, enabling the trite, superficial, and above talentless, to make money by being effectively con artists.

It was such an enjoyable episode. Especially Lucy gives lessons to Chloe by the Barbie and Ken:) The idea of Lucinda also fancy. Ella try to avoid of Charlotte. By the way Charlotte wants to be good person. Linda plans her ex-husbands funeral. Also she is in dilemma. Amenadiel gives her a different perspective.

Rapprochement entre Linda et Amenadiel... intéressant.
