The Review at the End of the Universe
“The Good, the Bad and the Crispy” Lucifer closes off season 2 with a resolution to the Lucifer’s Mother arc when she tries to cover up her accidental murder from last week. The procedural elements of this show are often the weakest part but there was a refreshing twist on it this week when it…
“Sympathy for the Goddess” Lucifer continues the search for the missing pieces of the sword as Chloe sees a different side to “Charlotte”. One thing I’ve appreciated about the second season of Lucifer is the constant desire to step outside its comfort zone. Season 1 had its flaws but one thing that was well built…
“God Johnson” Lucifer introduces a man who was committed because he believes himself to be God leading to an investigation of the man’s claims. It had to happen sooner or later. Having Lucifer introduce God in some form was inevitable and this episode went in some unexpected directions with it. When he first appeared I…
“Deceptive Little Parasite” Lucifer focuses on feelings and the things the characters do in order to make sense of them in order to get on with their lives. First of all I must apologise for how late this review is; extenuating circumstances prevented me from getting around to it. This theme begins with Lucifer needing…
“Candy Morningstar” Lucifer returns from a long hiatus that picks up a short time after the events of the previous episode and deals with the fallout of Lucifer’s decision to leave. It’s very jarring for there to be such a long gap between episodes but to have only two weeks have gone by in the…
“A Good Day to Die” Lucifer closes off the three episode arc with a race against time to save Chloe from certain death while allowing Lucifer to face his own personal Hell. On paper the concept of the Devil facing hell is really laughable. What would torture the most infamous torturer that has ever been?…
“Love Handles” The middle story in the 3 part Lucifer arc deals with the mysterious poison seen at the end of the previous episode while Lucifer and Chloe try to figure out their changed relationship in their own way. It feels strange to call this the middle story in a three part arc because it…
“Stewardess Interruptus” Lucifer returns from hiatus to address the age old question of whether the Prince of Darkness could ever be considered boyfriend material. I’ve been informed after the fact that this is the first of a trilogy of episodes but this wasn’t actually obvious from watching it. I don’t mean that as a criticism…
“Quid Pro Ho” Lucifer rounds off its 2016 run with the trial of Chloe’s father’s murder, forward movement on Charlotte’s plan and the reveal of what makes Chloe so special. Where to even begin with this episode? This season has been good to great so far and this episode does feel like a bit of…
“Homewrecker” Lucifer tackles the theme of home and belonging just as Lucifer faces eviction from his own nightclub after the owner is killed. Last week Lucifer made a firm declaration of his feelings about returning to Heaven or Hell. In summary he really doesn’t want to go back to either place and feels a connection…
