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.

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.

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.

Thank Luci himself that fox cancelled this show because Netflix is doing a much better job only one season in!
