- Thread starter Grimminski

It's campy and fun. The actor playing Lucifer is very enjoyable to watch.

It's mostly good if you like procedurals, Season 4 is arguably the best the show has ever been.
seasons 1 & 2 are fantastic, season 3 drags a lot in the middle and is too long (26 episodes! vs 10-13 of the rest) and imo season 3 (continued with s4) turns a bit more into a rom-com than the original "The Devil wants to party and solve crimes on Earth" shtick, but its just gonna be a personal preference which you like more.
100% worth a watch though, its also one of the very few non reality shows my wife and I watch together as our TV tastes are wildly different. Literally a netflix and chill lol
Good. Hopefully we get a more faithful adaptation of the source material in the future. Shame the show completely shit all over the mythos of the comic.
Hell Yea!
Yea I agree. I liked when then tried to lean more into it in S4, but I did see them say that they didnt want to stray too far from what the show was on Cable.
I really tried to get into it in the beginning. I even tried to go into separating it from the source material but I just couldn't. I would've at least appreciated it if they would have bothered to get the characterization of Lucifer, but they decided to turn him into an annoying child.
The police procedural stuff just doesn't make any sense to me. Why would a 10+ billion year old abstract entity give a shit about solving cases for the LAPD?
I'm happy we got season 4 and I'm happy with how that ended. Bring on season 5. I'm happy for more lucifer.
It gets a lot better imo. The police procedural is weird, but I think they had to frame the show around it just to get it on tv lol. Then when people started to really like the show, they couldnt just drop it. Which is a shame since other shows have dropped their procedural aspects in the past and were better for it, like Person of Interest.
How far did you make it through btw?
I was pretty much on-and-off for the first two seasons. Skipped all of three when I heard it was getting worse and tried to give four a chance but it was basically more of the same. Fox was never the right network for a faithful adaptation and once Netflix got it it was too late for any significant change.
Exactly, it could have ended at 3 and we could have been what iff-ing, at least we geta proper ending
My wife wants it to be known that this statement is 100% accurate.
My wife concurs.
In fact S4 is the 'Ladies & Gents, gorge yourself on the sight ofTom Ellis' quite frankly amazing bod' season
His job is to neither punish nor tempt as it doesn't benefit him in any meaningful way. At the end of the day, his main itinerary is achieving free will from his father's plan. I'm not sure what the hell the TV version of the character wants since he wastes most of his time solving cases-of-the-week.
No, just to punish. He doesn't like when bad people blame him for their deeds either.
This is good news.
I enjoyed this show far, far more than I ever thought I would when my partner first made me watch it with her.
Having a proper final season after how efficient and good quality S4 was feels like this show is getting what it deserves and we can all hopefully be satisfied when it ends.

Did season 4 on Netflix not do well? Sad that they only green lit one more season :( still, happy Netflix picked it up in the first place.
It's performed extraordinarily well. Not all shows need to go on forever.
Glad to hear it did well! I would have liked a few more seasons tho. Oh well, hope the last goes all out with cg and heavy demon/angel mythos.
Amazon already had the streaming rights to 1-3 before Netflix picked it up in the UK.
I dropped it after season 2 ended but I enjoyed it. My gf is the only one who kept watching it but I think it's mostly due to the guy who plays Lucifer. Lol.
