Lucifer

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.

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.

I have to say that I enjoyed Lucifer a lot more than I thought I would. It takes a really unique spin on police procedurals that works very well. The best part of this show though is easily Tom Ellis as Lucifer! He's such an underrated actor and deserves to be a bigger star than he is. Hopefully once this show wraps up after the series ends next season he will get his chance at superstardom! Going to miss this show once it's gone.

I am 2 series in and just love this show.

I would say that this is (so far at least) on par with another series that I love, Grimm.

Tom Ellis as Lucifer is just brilliant!

FIRST SEASON : 9/10

SECOND SEASON: 9/10.

THIRD SEASON : 8/10.

FOURTH SEASON : 8,4/10.

FIFTH SEASON : 8,3/10. (First part : 7,7/10, second part: 8,8/10)

SIXTH SEASON : 7/10.

First and second are the best seasons of this tv show, no filler episodes, pure entertainment and the chemistry between Ellis and German is great. So good that i place them amongst my favorite seasons of every tv show i have watched, and i have watched a lot of them.

Third season includes some of the best episodes of the whole show. However, there are many filler-mediocre episodes here. A DEVIL OF MY WORD is probably the best episode of LUCIFER.

Fourth season is more "tight". No filler episodes, better production, Lauren German's acting is getting better (I love her character but she is not the best actress of the world). Magic is still there, but the best episodes of this season are not as good as the best episodes of former seasons.

Fifth season is uneven. First part lost a step. But the second part made a glorious comeback, reminding the former greatness of this show.

Sixth season is the worse season by far, but it's not bad. Just pales in comparison with the previous ones. Could have been better, the subplot with daughter was not very good but it was still a good season overall. And the ending is satisfying.

........................................................................................................................................................... Tom Ellis created one of the most charming, magnetic and charismatic characters in the history of television. Supporting characters were likeable and interesting too, this would not have been so successful without them. This is the definition of entertainment, if you are looking for a fantasy comedy/crime tv show. It's light-hearted, fun and very touching at some times. At its core, it's a romance. A love story. Never recaptured the magic of the first three seasons, but i would gladly watch 10 seasons more.
