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)

The Angel of San Bernardino (2018) (S03E20)
The concept of rental families definitely has potential. I enjoyed Mazikeen’s attempt to get back to her old job and Charlotte’s shift away from asceticism. For the first time in a while, I felt like the series was getting back to what works for me.

Anything Pierce Can Do I Can Do Better (2018) (S03E21)
Ugh... Please, not like this. I have a big problem with this episode because the Lucifer-Chloe-Pierce love triangle is giving me major soap opera vibes. The humor is vanishing, replaced by some cheap romantic drama. I really hope this was just a one-time misstep.

All Hands on Decker (2018) (S03E22)
If the previous episode felt like a soap opera, this one just cemented that feeling. The season has completely shifted — gone is the easygoing humor and breeziness. Instead, the creators are wallowing in ridiculous relationship twists and trying to pull at heartstrings for no good reason. Not great. 2*-
()
Quintessential Deckerstar (2018) (S03E23)
After two terrible missteps, the creators finally got back to the show I love, reassuring me they haven't all had lobotomies. It's a shame they decided to remove the character that brought the most fun lately. Let's see where things go from here.
()
A Devil of My World (2018) (S03E24)
The creators decided to drown the finale in a flood of sappy sentimentality. Since I can't stand cheap emotional manipulation, I couldn't rate it higher than four stars.
()
Boo Normal (2018) (S03E25)
An incredibly dull episode, and I honestly couldn't figure out why it was even made. It felt like a bonus episode focused on Ella Lopez, but it wasn't funny or interesting.
()
Once Upon a Time (2018) (S03E26)
I get that the creators thought the show was ending when they made it, but they could've tried harder. The alternate reality episode felt pointless. There were no laughs, I couldn't relax, and I was just frustrated by what I was watching. It ended up being a complete waste of time.
()
Season 4 (2019) (S04)
I must admit that Netflix rarely disappoints me, but season 4 of Lucifer was unfortunately a step in the wrong direction. The relaxing and hilarious series turned into a dull story about relationships, going around every issue in circles because otherwise there would be nothing left to shoot next time. When I heard last year that the third season was going to be the last, I wasn’t happy. But it might not have been such a bad idea after all.
()
Everything's Okay (2019) (S04E01)
I was eagerly anticipating the new season. However, the first episode didn't quite live up to my expectations. As I've mentioned before, I view Lucifer as pure entertainment, a show where I can have a good laugh. Unfortunately, this time, the laughs were few and far between, and the romantic storyline, which I wasn't particularly invested in, seemed to take center stage.
()
Somebody's Been Reading Dante's Inferno (2019) (S04E02)
If I gave the last episode three stars, I logically had to drop this one down to two. The investigation was lackluster, the humor was too weak to stand out, and the main focus seemed to be on the muddled relationship drama. And that plotline with the exorcist… honestly, it just didn't do it for me.
()
O, Ye Of Little Faith, Father (2019) (S04E03)
A real treat — it's the first episode I genuinely enjoyed in this season. If it weren't for that melodramatic ending, I'd easily give it four stars. Finally, we got an investigation that kept me engaged, sprinkled with some humor. And believe it or not, they even made the presence of an exorcist justifiable. 3*+
()
All About Eve (2019) (S04E04)
The fourth episode was the most enjoyable for me so far in this season. Eve brought a refreshing energy to the plot, keeping the investigation engaging, and there were plenty of laughs to be had. My favorite scenes included Linda's ultrasound and the bar fight.
()
Expire Erect (2019) (S04E05)
Lucifer's recent involvement in the investigation was quite a ride, and I have to hand it to the creators for their portrayal of Eve - she's up for anything (from sex to breaking the law), yet she always gave me the impression that if I shined a flashlight in her ear, her eyes would light up. I found myself laughing and certainly wasn't bored, which is exactly what I expect from this series.
()
Orgy Pants to Work (2019) (S04E06)
Honestly, the arrival of yet another angelic being on Earth didn't exactly thrill me. Thankfully, the creators sprinkled in some humor. Still, I couldn't shake off the feeling of annoyance with the constant attempts at a sappy romantic style. Those scenes would fit much better in a completely different genre. 4*-
()
Devil Is as Devil Does (2019) (S04E07)
Sure, the humor took a bit of a dive, but Daniel's guerrilla speak really grabbed my attention, injecting an interesting twist into the story. Still, I can't help but feel a nostalgic pull towards the first and second seasons. 4*-
()
Super Bad Boyfriend (2019) (S04E08)
I've already mentioned my dislike for the shift from easygoing, entertaining storytelling to the irritating tropes often found in soap operas. The same goes for the need to address the struggles of marginalized groups in every American movie or series.
()
Save Lucifer (2019) (S04E09)
This episode was a refreshing shift from the last part. Instead of the tired narrative of oppressed minorities battling a fascist police force, the story took a different turn, and it felt like a return to form. The previous episode had me rolling my eyes, but this one? It brought back the good vibes.
()
Who's da New King of Hell? (2019) (S04E10)
It seems I'm in the minority with my take, but hey, that's nothing new. I'm not one to be swayed by the crowd anyway. As much as I wanted to be swept away, it felt like I was watching a soap opera set in a rather unconventional backdrop. That old cliché, "I love you, but I have to go," popped up not once, but twice (even if it was more subtle with Eve), and cramming it into fifty-six minutes felt a bit overdone.
