Lucifer - Season 5

As I mentioned in my review of the eighth episode, I hoped for an improvement in the second half of the fifth season, and fortunately, that did happen. The introduction of God was top-notch; the episodes where this character was in the spotlight were among the best (the decision to become mortal was incredibly funny, and I genuinely laughed heartily at a few well-timed references). However, there were still quite a few filler episodes dealing with melodrama and other unnecessary fluff. I do appreciate it when Lucifer delves into emotions, but too much of it can be overwhelming. The final two episodes, though, elevated the series back to the level where it should ideally stay; this is the quality Lucifer we know! The final battle felt a bit rushed in my eyes, but as a viewer, you’ll get plenty of story twists. We’ll see how the creators wrap up this saga. Season five gets a cautious 7/10 from me. P.S.  Michael Graziadei felt criminally underused :( (09/26/2021)
