TV show description:
This horror black comedy series is based on the characters created by Neil Gaiman, Sam Kieth and Mike Dringenberg for DC Entertainment’s Vertigo imprint. It’s the story of the original fallen angel — Lucifer.
Bored and unhappy as the Lord of Hell, Lucifer Morningstar (Tom Ellis) has abandoned his throne and retired to Los Angeles. There, he owns an upscale nightclub named Lux. Charming, charismatic and devilishly handsome, Lucifer is enjoying his retirement, indulging in a few of his favorite things — wine, women and song.
His bliss is disturbed when a beautiful pop star is brutally murdered outside of his club. For the first time in roughly 10 billion years, he feels something awaken deep within him as a result of this murder. Could it be (perish the thought) compassion or sympathy?
These thoughts disturb both Lucifer and his best friend and confidante, Mazikeen aka Maze (Lesley-Ann Brandt). Maze is a fierce demon who’s taken the form of a beautiful young woman.
The murder outside the club attracts the attention of LAPD homicide detective Chloe Decker (Lauren German). She’s initially dismissive of Lucifer but she soon becomes intrigued by his talent for drawing out people’s secrets. Chloe also likes his desire to dispense justice, doling out punishment to those who deserve it.
As they work together to solve the pop star’s murder, Lucifer is struck by Chloe’s inherent goodness. Accustomed to dealing with the absolute worst of humanity, Lucifer is intrigued by Chloe’s apparent purity and begins to wonder if there’s hope for his own soul yet.
At the same time, God’s emissary, an angel named Amenadiel (DB Woodside), has been sent to Los Angeles to convince Lucifer to return to the underworld.
Can the Devil incarnate be tempted toward the side of Good — or will his original calling pull him back toward Evil?

This is so typical. I’ve seen this so many times. You get really excited about a Series and all seems well in the world, three to four Seasons later the Executives, which have no real clue, cancel it without regard to Audience loyalty. I really enjoy watching this Series and for the life of me, can’t understand why it’s been cancelled. Thank God for Netflix!!!
Yes, this show should definately continue! Someone please pick it up! The characters, ALL of them, are just fantastic thanks to both the writing and wonderful actors. So much fun! The storylines are so clever; I love how creative they get with this show and the whole concept of the devil and what would happen if he came to earth – lots of good messages and lessons for us all. Also, the show doesn’t take itself too seriously which is part of what makes it great, plus, the special effects, and fight choreography, and music are just awesome, especially the… Read more »
