    Unnecessary

    It's not as bad PC as in some other Netflix shows, but... If Hollywood will remind us about the same problems in of their productions it will be exactly the same and boring. Not everything must be about race equality. Especially if you want to do something for more than just US audience. Lucifer plot as usually good.

    Way too much going on.

    There are too many subplots to focus in on the main drive of the season. I know the episode tackled a very heavy subject (race) and it's an admirable attempt to bring light to heated topic today but it just feels very shoehorned in. The characters are acting way out of the ordinary and it just felt like a clunky mess.

    Best episode ever

    I'm usually not a fan of drama, especially not in fun series, but this episode brought a streak of raw realism into the story which made it so much better. I know it is fantasy. I know it is mixing a fun series with the dark aspects of the way society is working in the US, and that some people rather wouldn't be reminded of this. But in my opinion this mix makes the fantasy much more potent. Well done.

    Funny and poignant.

    Lucifer is one of those rare shows that can take you from tears of joy to tears of sadness within the same episode. The super bad boyfriend montage is one of the funniest things I have seen on TV. Another great episode.

    Amenadiel's Story is heartbreaking

    While I do like Tom's portrayal of being a bad boyfriend, DB steals this episode! His helping Caleb and their story is heartbreaking, but Dan and Chloe try to help. Love Tom and DB when DB says, "I know who did this." Tom says "I'll drive." The next scene is powerful and heartbreaking.
