Summary
Reviewers say 'Lucifer' is acclaimed for its distinctive mix of comedy, fantasy, and crime, featuring exceptional performances, particularly Tom Ellis as Lucifer. The show's intricate characters and captivating narratives are frequently mentioned. However, some criticize inconsistent writing, especially in later seasons, and issues with character growth and plot consistency. Disappointment is noted regarding the finale and the perceived change in tone and quality post-Netflix transition. Despite these drawbacks, many find the series entertaining and recommend it for its charm and lead characters.

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.

I have loved this show up and watched episodes multiple times until this latest season. I would have given them a 10 rating before Season 6.
In Season 6, it felt like the writers forgot what created so many fans and instead focused on trying to include every single social issue they support in the last season. I do not fault them for wanting to include a social issue important to them that naturally fits, but it felt like they were checking off a list to make sure they included transgender, feminist, BLM, police issues, as well as biracial and LGBTQ relationships.
Gone was the cheeky humor, the fun group dynamics and hijinks of the main characters, the playful banter with Chloe and Lucifer, crime solving, Lucifer singing and playing the piano, fun dance numbers, romance with Deckerstar, the supernatural aspects and other angel family members. There were bits here and there, but largely it was overshadowed by the social issues and 3 long drawn out episodes to say goodbyes. It wasn't funny. The characters were stiff with each other. It was boring. I kept watching just to see if it got better. If this season had been the 1st, I never would have watched the show. So sad that this was how this show ended.

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!

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.

Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaTom Ellis (Lucifer) does his own singing throughout the show, although does not play the piano on screen. In early interviews for the show, he said he didn't "really know" how to. In 2019, a video of him accompanying himself on a piano whilst singing showed he's since added this skill to his repertoire (however, he has said in several interviews since that he is still only playing ¨air piano¨ in scenes as Lucifer).
- GoofsThe pilot establishes that Lux is located in the same building as the El Capitan Theater in the 6800 block of Hollywood Boulevard, but subsequent episodes use aerial establishing shots of the Sunset Tower Hotel over two miles away on Sunset Boulevard for Lucifer's penthouse, which is supposedly in the same building as Lux.
