Lucifer – Season 1 Episode 13

“Take Me Back to Hell” It’s season finale time on Lucifer and the stakes are high as Malcolm becomes more unstable and Lucifer has to prove his innocence after being framed for murder. This show has definitely had its ups and downs over the first season but has definitely showing signs of finding its feet…

Lucifer – Season 1 Episode 12

“#TeamLucifer” Lucifer deals with the revelation that Lucifer’s vulnerability is solely linked to Chloe while a cult of Satan Worshipers make him question the impact he has on people. It didn’t take long for Lucifer as a show to explore the idea of Devil Worshipers but it’s not a bad idea by itself. If you…

Lucifer – Season 1 Episode 11

“St. Lucifer” Lucifer answers a question that has been in the background of the show all season and replaces it with others to fill that gap. That really isn’t the best summary of the episode but it is the biggest thing to take from it. Ever since the first episode Lucifer -and by extension- the…

Lucifer – Season 1 Episode 10

“Pops” After a stellar episode last week, Lucifer returns to focusing on the procedural elements of the story that hide the more compelling character work. As always the case of the week was really uninteresting to me. This time a chef that Lucifer admires is murdered and the loss to his taste buds compels him…

Lucifer – Season 1 Episode 9

“A Priest Walks Into A Bar” Lucifer explores the ideas of religion and faith when a priest comes to the Devil for help and ends up forging an unlikely friendship. As a show, Lucifer hasn’t really dealt with religion as an idea in any great depth. There’s lots of mention of how it all really…

Lucifer – Season 1 Episode 8

“Et Tu, Doctor” Lucifer returns to the case of the week formula as Linda is drafted to help solve the murder of a Marriage Counselor. After a strong showing in the last two episodes I was starting to expect good things from Lucifer so I’m annoyed that it has returned to the dull formulaic storytelling…

Lucifer – Season 1 Episode 7

“Wingman” Lucifer picks up on the stolen wings plot from last week as he aggressively tries to find his stolen property while Chloe looks into a personal case. We are now in the second half of the first season and Lucifer is starting to take shape as a TV show. It is becoming far less…

Lucifer – Season 1 Episode 6

“Favourite Son” Lucifer shifts gears a little and focuses on finding out who stole a shipping container with some personal signficance to the Prince of Darkness. There’s a murder as usual and Lucifer is drafted to work the case with Chloe but this episode is a bit different as the murder plot is almost incidental….

Lucifer – Season 1 Episode 5

“Sweet Kicks” Lucifer throws the Prince of Darkness and Chloe in the middle of a Los Angeles gang dispute that threatens to erupt into an all out war if not handled properly. I was starting to feel optimistic about Lucifer after the stronger showing last week and hoped that the show was starting to turn…

Lucifer – Season 1 Episode 4

“Manly Whatnots” Lucifer further explores Chloe’s doubts about the man who helps her on her cases actually being the Biblical Prince of Darkness. This episode is the first one that feels as if it’s exploring what the show really should be about. It’s not perfect but the shift in focus to Lucifer and Chloe is…
