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)

Season 1 (2016) (S01)
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)
I really enjoyed the pilot. His devilish majesty takes a break and decides to spend it in Los Angeles. That premise alone is pretty entertaining, but then he also starts meddling in murder investigations. Tom Ellis is perfect for the lead role. The only thing that bugged me in the first episode was the black angel, and not because of his skin color, but because of his terrible acting.

Lucifer, Stay. Good Devil. (2016) (S01E02)
The second episode started to remind me a bit of Castle, but instead of a writer pestering the detective, it’s the Devil. I loved the scene with the street preacher, Lucifer’s surprisingly warm interactions with kids, and especially his sessions with the therapist were hilarious. 4*-.

The Would-Be Prince of Darkness (2016) (S01E03)
I really enjoyed the third episode, especially watching our "hero" deal with an identity thief. Pretending to be Lucifer Morningstar is just plain dishonorable. I also found it interesting to see what happened to the villain from the pilot. It's a good reminder that you shouldn’t poke the bear.

Manly Whatnots (2016) (S01E04)
The fourth episode stepped it up again. The breakfast surprise was perfect, and I loved watching Lucifer’s frustration as Chloe remained completely immune to his charm. Quick tip for women who recently got shot in the shoulder: maybe avoid off-the-shoulder dresses. It might draw some unwanted attention.

Sweet Kicks (2016) (S01E05)
I had a blast - this episode was funnier, and if Mazikeen hadn’t interfered, Lucifer might have discovered the truth about his immortality. This episode had me laughing the most so far, even though they killed Pig Diddy, the bastards.
()
Favorite Son (2016) (S01E06)
This episode was the best one yet. It was packed with humor, had a solid plot, and things got really personal for Lucifer. The cherry on top is Tom Sizemore’s casting — he always delivers.
()
Et Tu, Doctor? (2016) (S01E08)
This episode shakes things up with Malcolm's return from the "other side." I enjoyed Lucifer's manipulations, which gave Linda more screen time — a big plus since I loved Rachael Harris in Suits.
()
A Priest Walks Into a Bar (2016) (S01E09)
The weakest episode so far. Lucifer was annoyingly sentimental, and there was too much tugging at the heartstrings. Given the show's theme, I expected some of this, but the praise for the Almighty was just too much for my taste.
()
Pops (2016) (S01E10)
I might have given this episode five stars, if not for the sappy mother-daughter relationship resolution, which isn’t really my thing. What really entertained me was Mazikeen in therapy and finding her first friend.
()
St. Lucifer (2016) (S01E11)
This was one of the more entertaining episodes, from the morning "walk of shame" to Lucifer's paradoxical excitement about doing good deeds. We also got to see Mazikeen getting involved in angelic matters and the reveal of the Devil's kryptonite. Oh, and there was a murder investigation too.
()
#TeamLucifer (2016) (S01E12)
Another great episode. Everything was going so well, and then things started to spiral. Amenadiel's losing control, Lucifer's got that pesky goat business haunting him, and everything's speeding up like a runaway train.
()
Season 2 (2016) (S02)
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)
What a delight. It’s still the funny, light-hearted show where I don't have to think too hard and can just enjoy myself. Amenadiel really annoyed me in the first half of last season, but he improved by the second half and has thankfully stayed that way. No complaints here!
()
Monster (2016) (S02E06)
I really enjoyed this episode, but I have to admit, my rating would have plummeted if Lucifer had played "Candle in the Wind" during his moment of grief. Thankfully, he went with "The Unforgiven," and it was an easy five stars. Halloween with Mazikeen was also fantastic and definitely added to the fun.
()
My Little Monkey (2016) (S02E07)
Linda's a perfect example of why you shouldn't ask for brutally honest answers if you can't handle them. An honest reply to "This meat is delicious, is it beef?" can really ruin the moment. But hey, to each their own!
()
Homewrecker (2016) (S02E09)
This episode confirms my thoughts about this show — it's not groundbreaking, but it's never boring. The script is well-written, and the humor works without being cringy. I'm having a good time.
()
Quid Pro Ho (2016) (S02E10)
Lucifer was fantastic as a witness for the prosecution, and Mazikeen handled everything else that mattered brilliantly. I've always rooted for demons over angels (except for the fallen ones), so I was bound to love this episode, whether I wanted to or not.
()
Stewardess Interruptus (2017) (S02E11)
I'm not sure if Lucifer and Chloe had their moment, but this episode definitely did. Highlights include the crowd of Lucifer's "exes" and his number one fan, the realization that just because no one wants to toast a murder with you doesn't mean you're not awesome, and Mazikeen going undercover.
()
A Good Day to Die (2017) (S02E13)
I get that the plot didn't allow for much humor, but it leaned a bit too heavily on the emotional side for my taste. That said, Linda was fantastic as always.
