The kids and I watched this last night, nothing scary, pretty much PG and compared to all the other pilots out at the moment this was very good and has the most potential. We liked Tom Ellis as Lucifer, there was humour and subtle special effects as well as in your face special effects.

The plot was somewhat lightweight but as an opener and for introducing the cast it was good enough, will be interested to see the overall story arc as it develops.

As usual the lead actor has a British accent (though Tom was raised in Wales so should have a Welsh accent), it does work, Lucifer having an English accent and being quite classy - he hates rap but loves the Blues, a man of good tastes!

I suspect the woman are going to like this even more as Tom Ellis is in constant flirt mode throughout the episode but we three blokes gave this a thumbs up and would like to see more!

Watched this with my 16 and 14 yr old sons last night and we all throughly enjoyed it, the 14yr old hid behind a pillow for quite a lot but really it was all standard 'turns around and ghost inches from your face' fare, the CGI was not budget - was really good actually and lots of it. The story was really engaging, acting was great from Odd and Stormy and great chemistry between them, you felt like they really were lovers. Nice plot twists, it's not going to be a blockbuster and win academy awards, almost as many plot holes as World World Z but it was much better than I expected, very enjoyable, no dull moments and this will be joining my DVD collection when it comes out for sure. The ending was very good...

It's pretty obvious there's a telly series (or string of follow-up movies) wanting to be made :-)
