Lucifer premiered Monday night on FOX with more than seven million viewers tuning in, and one group is not at all happy with the new series. In fact, they are demanding that FOX cancel the series immediately.
One Million Moms has called on networks before to cancel series they object to. At the start of the fall season, they released a call to ABC to cancel The Muppets.
Now, they have set their focus on Lucifer. Read part of their statement about the series below.
“FOX’s new drama “Lucifer” is spiritually dangerous. The new program “Lucifer” glorifies Satan as a caring, likable person in human flesh. The character Lucifer Morningstar makes being the devil look cool, drives a fancy car, gets out of a speeding ticket, owns a nightclub in LA, and is irresistible to women.”
They go on to say that the premiere showed “graphic acts of violence, a nightclub featuring scantily-clad women, and a demon. The message of the show is clear. Lucifer is just misunderstood. He doesn’t want to be a bad guy, it’s God who is forcing him to play that role.”
How does One Million Moms want to get their message about Lucifer? They have asked people to focus on Olive Garden restaurants. They are asking people to contact the restaurant chain and let their feelings known about Lucifer because Olive Garden is sponsoring the FOX series.
Did you watch Lucifer? Are you a fan? Or, do you agree with One Million Moms? Tell us what you think.
Hope they don’t cancel Lucifer, just because of some over-reactive religious deal. This doesn’t glorify nor deter or otherwise encourage people to become Satanist…It’s just a show calm down. PS. #SAVELUCIFERSHOW
Love the Lucifer show! Hope it doesn’t get cancelled
Please do not cancel Lucifer, it is my favorite show. I look forward to Monday nights.
Great show.love it….i will be upset if it gets cancelled,,,are we not living in a democracy ..my vote is to keep it….women against stuff can go elsewhere to cry about something
Its a great great show…it would be bad if Fox cancel the show. Has nothing to do with religion, if you dont like it don’t watch, I dont like “The Bing Bang Theory” so I don’t watch it…as simple as that
I think Lucifer is one of the best shows on tv. It is not about worshiping the Devil or going to the dark side. It is a well scripted drama series with a touch of comedy. If you dont like the show, dont watch it. I wonder how many of these moms allow their children to view Dance Moms, Bring It or any of the shows that have fighting, fowl mouthed moms? I hope Fox ignores these pathetic women because there are many of us who actually enjoy the show and fully understand it’s message
I LOVE the show–I certainly would not let me children watch it however. I hope that is doesn’t get cancelled. It has a lot of witty dialogue and I am totally loving the series.
I think the show is about leading Lucifer, the devil, back to God. I think God is the ultimate parent and trying to teach him lessons. I am enjoying it thoroughly, but I would NOT let young children watch it, as it does have things I would not want them to view.
I, myself, am a Mom and I think the show is great, if parents do not want their children to watch a certain show than it is up to each individual parent to actually parent their own children. There are so many shows that glorify one thing or another and it’s just fictional entertainment nothing more. If parents want to censor tv shows, movies, or books than it is their responsibility to do so individually and in their own homes.
Very well said Renee
I am thrilled with this new show! Unlike the overkill of shows that glamororiz murder, crime, and all sorts of dispicable behavior, this show is a delightful interpretation of a fantasy notion that the devil is on vacation! To me that is hysterically funny.
Anyone who believes this show to be anything but entertainment, really needs to get in touch with God.
I am totally in love with Tom Ellis, a real person who is acting, and doing a marvelous job by the way! I’m hooked! I don’t believe he is anything but gorgeous. ..
Lora You are just awesome, thanks for the comments
It’s very simple-you don’t like – don’t watch it, but stop trying to impose your “morals” on everyone else.
Here’s an idea Million Mom’s, if you don’t want to watch it don’t turn it on. Now stay out of my TV!
My entire family and I love the show and hopes it gets renewed. So tired of a few complainers that don’t know how to turn the channel if they don’t like something that’s on, trying to mess it up for those of us that do. There’s many programs on that I don’t like, so I don’t watch them, I’m sure not going to try to get them taken off when others DO enjoy watching them.
Just what I said kanemaster…I don’t like a show I don’t watch it, I dont impose mt will
I think One Million Moms should just keep their kids from watching. It’s entertaining and oddly moral in its own way. I hate it when a bunch of mommies get together to attempt editing what I can see on TV.
Please don’t cancel this show I love this show. This is my favorite tv series right now. I look forward to seeing it. It’s funny and clever and I love his character. I don’t want it to end this is one of the best tv series I have ever watched please please don’t cancel it.
