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.

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

Thank you Netflix.
Just as "Serenity" gave us back our "Firefly", and the SyFy Channel gives us back our Sci-Fi, Netflix has given us back our "Lucifer"
,True to the original concept but with some real added value in mythological story-telling.
Eve was an interesting charachter. I had her pegged at being Lillith until named as Eve.
Lauren German as gorgeous as ever. But mein gott did she look absolutely stunning in the masquerade party sequence with the dark eyeliner egyptian eye of Ra Schwarzze Sonne sequence.
Lucy is at his glorious best and worst demon and daemon self. A true Lokian trickster.
Eye candy for all the future mother mary's rocking and rolling around on molly in a meaningless existence.
The Norse Vikings had a concept of the biblical "End of Days" termed "Ragnarok". Our world will be destroyed at the end of time, but the world will be reborn and a new time will be birthed. Lets hope "Lucifer" will be reborn into the New World of Netflix.
Season Five.
It does have a devilish symmetry to it. It takes 5 to make a pentagram.
A Glorious Gesture to Netflix is to keep giving the love, so they keep giving the love back to us.
The Gods of Hollywood abandoned us decades ago.
Netflix is the better devil I know.
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.

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.

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.
