Lucifer
Details
It may sound absurd for the devil to roam the streets of Los Angeles as a detective, but the greatest success of this series lies in turning this absurdity into a clever metaphor. Lucifer Morningstar, who left the throne of hell and left himself in the belly of sunny California, is not only a fantastic character; he comes across as a figure who asks deep questions about the search for identity, free will and the nature of sin. Tom Ellis's charismatic performance in this role is one of the strongest pillars supporting the series. Ellis's Lucifer is a fascinating character who oscillates between arrogance, vulnerability, and an unexpected conscience, displaying a different facet in every scene. The Devil's partnership with LAPD detective Chloe Decker in a murder investigation turns the usual dynamics of crime drama on their head. This duo creates an incredibly believable chemistry on screen despite representing completely different worlds. Although the series draws inspiration from the DC Comics universe, it takes a unique direction. The crime cases solved in each episode actually work as a background; the main story is shaped in the inner worlds of the characters, their sins, regrets and hopes for salvation. Lucifer is forced to confront not only his ability to bring about people's desires, but also his own desires. This transforms the series from being a run-of-the-mill detective story into an existential journey. This journey, which spanned six seasons, maintains its emotional depth despite sometimes progressing with a light and humorous tone. Great concepts like Heaven, Hell, divinity, and humanity are blended with the colorful fabric of everyday Los Angeles life. Each character does not remain confined to a superficial function but gradually develops their own depth over time. What awaits the viewer is not only the comfort of a crime series, but also an experience that makes you question why people make bad choices, whether identity is determined by fate, and whether it is possible to be truly free. Who would have thought that the devil could look this human?

**The family of immortal on the Earth.** **SEASON 02:** When I watched the first season when it was originally aired, it had some serious fan following, but I won't say it was very very famous at the time. Now, after the second season, seems everything has changed. Drastically the votings, rating, reviews have increased. IF one more season with similarly powerful characters, story comes out, then it surely would be among the greatest like 'Dexter', 'Breaking Bad' et cetera. I am confident ...

This show started in 2016 and has six seasons, ending(?) 2021. It turned to trash around the end of the 2nd or 3rd seasons. The storytelling for the show or premise was a mortal female cop having to work with the Devil to solve crimes. The Devil is on earth because he became fed up with his role as Hell's Ruler. And the writers did very well with the Lucifer character. Many aspects to the Devil being supernatural came through wonderfully for the audience, one profound trait being _Lucifer...

I started watching this a few months ago as I found it on Netflix. I watched the trailer and thought it looked very interesting. I thought I would watch just one or two episodes each day or whenever I had time. Man, I was wrong. I ended up watching half of the first season that day, then the second half the next. A couple of days later I began looking into buying the DVDs. And the series was finished a few months later. I would recommend this to anyone who has seen Izombie (has the same crime co...

Lucifer" is a woeful excuse for a television series, a devilish descent into the depths of mediocrity that leaves its audience longing for salvation from its torturous plot and laughable attempts at wit. At its core, "Lucifer" revolves around the most overused and unoriginal concept imaginable: the Devil himself forsaking his infernal throne to play detective in Los Angeles. It's a premise that would make even the most dedicated connoisseur of the supernatural cringe in embarrassment. Instead...
