Too often in film and TV the grieving process is wildly overblown or deeply melodramatic
This is only the second show I have seen where the grief displayed by the actor is so keen, so visceral that it makes your heart ache for them. The first was Romy Rosemont's gut wrenching performance as Finn Hudson's mum Carol as she sorted through his things in Glee's "The Quarterback".
And now we can add the stellar performance of Tom Ellis as Lucifer to that mix. The final scene of this episode personifies the brilliance of the writers and Tom as an actor. His entire performance makes you feel Lucifer's loss and unspeakable grief and guilt of what had just happened. The breathless keening of a truly hurting soul rips at your heart.... 10/10
