Lucifer is the story of the original fallen angel. Bored and unhappy as the Lord of Hell, Lucifer Morningstar has resigned his throne and retired to the City of Angels, where he owns an upscale piano bar called Lux. Lucifer is enjoying his retirement and indulging in a few of his favorite things—wine, women, song—when a beautiful pop star is brutally murdered outside of Lux.

For the first time in roughly 10 billion years, he feels something awaken deep within him. He's not sure whether it's his suppressed desire to punish the wicked or something deeper and more confusing—is he actually capable of feelings for a human being? The very thought disturbs him—as well as his best friend and confidante, Mazikeen (aka Maze), a fierce demon in the form of beautiful young woman.

The murder attracts the attention of LAPD homicide detective Chloe Dancer, who finds herself both repulsed and fascinated by Lucifer. As they work together to solve the pop star's murder, Lucifer is struck by Chloe's inherent goodness. Used to dealing with the absolute worst of humanity, he begins to wonder if there's hope yet.

At the same time, God's emissary, the angel Amenadiel, has been sent to Los Angeles to convince Lucifer to return to Hell. But with the City of Angels at his feet and a newfound purpose, Lucifer's having too much fun to go back now. (Warner Bros. Home Entertainment)

Reviews of this series by the user Necrotongue (58)

Season 1 (2016) (S01) 

English Season 1 was pretty good. It does have a lot of weaker moments and, despite its supernatural elements, it's just another variation on the responsible cop vs. undisciplined civilian theme, but I had a decent time anyway. It's a relaxing show that isn’t supposed to be intellectually exhausting, but it certainly isn't boring and offers a decent portion of funny moments and one-liners. ()

Pilot (2016) (S01E01) 

English I really enjoyed the pilot. His devilish majesty takes a break and decides to spend it in Los Angeles. I already found it quite entertaining, but he also gets involved in murder investigations. Tom Ellis is perfect for the lead role, so in the first episode, the only thing that bothered me was the completely understandable black angel, not because of his skin color, but because of his tragic acting performance. ()

Lucifer, Stay. Good Devil. (2016) (S01E02) 

English The second episode reminded me a little bit of the TV show Castle, only here the investigator is not annoyed by a writer but by the Devil. I was amused by the scene with the street preacher, Lucifer's warm relationship with children, and especially his interaction with the therapist, which made me laugh the most. 4*- . ()

The Would-Be Prince of Darkness (2016) (S01E03) 

English "I enjoyed the third episode mainly because of how the main 'hero' tried to deal with the identity thief, because pretending to be Lucifer Morningstar is dishonest and unsportsmanlike after all. I was also intrigued by how the antagonist from the pilot episode ended up. Yeah, you really shouldn't provoke a snake with bare feet." ()

Manly Whatnots (2016) (S01E04) 

English In the fourth episode, there was an improvement again, the breakfast surprise was perfect. I enjoyed Lucifer's frustration with Chloe and her zero reactions to his charm. I would just recommend to women who have recently had a shoulder piercing not to wear dresses with exposed shoulders. It could attract unwanted attention. ()

Sweet Kicks (2016) (S01E05) 

English I enjoyed the fifth episode a lot, there was more humor, and if Mazikeen didn't interfere in everything, Lucifer would probably have figured out how he stands with immortality. The fifth part made me laugh the most so far, even though they killed Pig Diddy, those rascals. ()

Favorite Son (2016) (S01E06) 

English I would rate the sixth episode as the best so far. It had a decent amount of humor, a high-quality plot, and it became extremely personal for Lucifer. The icing on the cake was the casting of Tom Sizemore, he always pleases me. ()

Et Tu, Doctor? (2016) (S01E08) 

English In the eighth episode, the disruption of the surface was taken care of, among others, by Malcolm, who returned from the "other side". I enjoyed Lucifer with his manipulation, thanks to which the character of Linda got more space, and that's good because I already liked Rachael Harris in Suits. ()

A Priest Walks Into a Bar (2016) (S01E09) 

English The ninth episode was the weakest for me so far. Lucifer was disgustingly indulgent, overall there was too much playing with emotions here, and even though the theme is clear from the title of the series, there was already too much glorification of the Almighty for me. ()

Pops (2016) (S01E10) 

English I almost gave it five stars, I was so happy with the improvement compared to the previous installment. And maybe I would have given them anyway, but the touching solution to the mother-daughter relationship doesn't really appeal to me. I was rather amused by Mazikeen in therapy and how she found her first friend. ()

St. Lucifer (2016) (S01E11) 

English Once again, it was one of the more entertaining episodes of the morning "Walk of Shame," ranging from Lucifer's paradoxical enthusiasm for doing good, Mazikeen's activities in angelic matters, to the revelation of the Devil's kryptonite. Oh, and I almost forgot, a murder investigation was also conducted. ()

#TeamLucifer (2016) (S01E12) 

English Excellent, another successful episode. And it was such a good plan. Events are spiraling out of Amenadiel's control, that old issue with the goat is annoying Lucifer, and everything is picking up speed like a runaway train. ()

Season 2 (2016) (S02) 

English Season 2 surprised me, I was expecting the quality to drop after the first season, but it stayed on the same level. It's still a relaxing show that I can have fun with while letting 70% of my brain cells rest. The characters of Lucifer and Mazikeen are in the lead, with Linda following close behind, and the rest far behind. ()

Everything's Coming Up Lucifer (2016) (S02E01) 

English The first part of the second season pleased me. It's still the funny relaxation I don't have to think too much about and can enjoy in peace. In the first half of the previous series, the character Amenadiel was getting on my nerves, but in the second half, he was fine, and thankfully it stayed that way, so I have no reason to be dissatisfied. ()

Monster (2016) (S02E06) 

English I enjoyed this episode, but I have to admit that I would rate it much lower if Lucifer had played Candle in the Wind during his moment of sadness. Luckily, he chose The Unforgiven and the episode was saved. Halloween with Mazikeen contributed greatly to it as well, it was great. ()

My Little Monkey (2016) (S02E07) 

English Linda is a clear example that people should not ask for truly honest answers if they cannot handle them. For example, an honest answer to the question: "Is the meat excellent, is it beef?" can ruin the magic of the moment. Well, it's up to personal preference. ()

Homewrecker (2016) (S02E09) 

English The ninth episode confirms everything I think about this series - it's not groundbreaking, but I can't get bored of it because the script is well-written and the humor is not awkward, but on the contrary, it works fine. And because I enjoy it, I have no reason to give it a worse rating. ()

Quid Pro Ho (2016) (S02E10) 

English This time I had to go for a five-star rating because Lucifer was an amazing witness for the prosecution and Mazikeen handled everything else that mattered brilliantly. I've always been more of a fan of demons than angels (except for the fallen ones), so I had to be satisfied, even if I didn't want to. ()

Stewardess Interruptus (2017) (S02E11) 

English I don't know if Lucifer had his moment with Chloe, but the eleventh episode had several of them. One of them was the gathering of Lucifer's "exes" and fan number one, the second was the realization that just because nobody wants to have a drink with you after a murder doesn't mean you're not amazing, and the third was Mazekeen undercover. ()

A Good Day to Die (2017) (S02E13) 

English I understand that the plot of the thirteenth episode doesn't allow for frequent use of humor, but in my opinion, there was a little too much emphasis on emotions. However, to not just criticize, I have to say that Linda was great again. ()
