Lucifer

Love the show. But it went on TV without the possibility to have the original English soundtrack in my country and the voice over was atrocious.

I dont even wanna start explaining how badly they rendered the british accent, that might be very offensive for the actor who was guilty of it at best, for all british people at worst.

On the other hand, that highlighted Tom Ellis' performance. So i'll just try not to think about what i heard again, ever.

*This is a review for the entire series*

The first couple seasons of Lucifer were amazing. The show had a gripping formula of (good) procedural storytelling intermixed with an entertaining heaven/hell mythology. Tom Ellis is a massive reason for the success of the show. His portrayal of Lucifer is spot on. The charisma just jumps right off the screen and he also displayed the ability to create emotional moments that resonate with the viewer. The character feels real and Tom's ability to carry a complicated show on his shoulders with ease can't be understated.

You can definitely see why Netflix picked up the show when it was cancelled because the show didn't deserve to be cancelled at all.

While the first couple seasons of the show were tight, engaging and well written, the latter half of the show's run suffered from poor writing. Of course this is just my opinion, but I think the writers struggled with Lucifer and Chloe's relationship, the side characters being removed from the central action and the balance between the procedural and mythology aspects of the show.

The first couple of seasons would have gotten an 8 from me but since I have to judge the entire show on a whole, my rating is being reduced to a 6.

I have loved this show since day one, and an avid fan of all three of the prior season before Fox stupidly cancelled it, which actually was a gift. I was one of the fans that worked in the twitter campaign to help save the show,working along with the producers, writers, cast, crew and fans from around the world, with the hashtag #SaveLucifer making history, as Netflix was more than eager to give this show a fabulous new home. So now this series is even better, the new Season 4 just released May 8 2019 is so much more, despite only 10 episodes, they are packed with action, drama,it is bolder, yet the humor in the show is still there, it is definitely the best season yet. For new viewers, do watch the first 3 seasons before the new one, as the characters history is important to this story. I am just finishing doing a binge watch for the third time and it just never gets old. Treasure of a show, great actors, good tight writing, great set designs, cool music throughout, and even a little nudity. What more can you want. Netflix, we need a season 5,6,7 and on.

2019 Update: After yet another fan campaign and good reviews for season 4 on Netflix, we got season 5, although it will be the last and we really wanted 6 seasons, But then Netflix listened, and gave the show twice the episodes for season 5, another win. Can't wait, the writers keep tweeting us the episode titles and have promised the best season yet.

Update for Season 5.1 released Aug 21: AWESOME. One of the best seasons yet. We get some answers, some closure on some things (keeping this spoiler free for you), many of our favorite characters go through unexpected changes, and a new bad guys appears in a familiar face. Best acting ever from this amazing cast. Lots of funny moments too. The second half of season 5 is almost finished and will be on Netflix later, and we are also getting a Season 6 in the future. Just an amazing show, brought back to life by amazing fans, writers, producers, actors and thanks to Netflix.

Update for final season 6. September 10 2021 Just finished watching. These writers amaze me. They gave the fans so many things they knew we wanted. Maybe not in the way we expected, but something for everyone. Lots of action, lots of laughter and definitely some tears. Closure. Tied up loose ends . Some characters reappear. Just an amazing group of writers and producers and a fabulous cast. Good writers know when to stop. They told their story, the way they wanted to, working with the desires of the fans, and gave it the ending they wanted. Sure I would have watched it for dozens of more seasons, and still would have loved it, but actors and writers have to move on. The six season ( really 7 when you count the double number of episodes in season 5). , yeah, six was a good number. You will love this final seaon. There will be music. Dancing. Laughter. Tears. Surprises. A hell of a ride.

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!

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.
