Lucifer

Wish it was Monday already.

Yeah, this is pretty much Castle except Castle is the devil and his partner is way hotter.

So this is actually good? I figured it would be another Fox let down.

its ok, its clearly written towards women with the devil being rogueish yet weirdly feminist and moral/good yet a bad boy too (only in the "right ways"). it makes zero sense that Lucifer would want to spend his time solving murders in LA with some random chick detective but that's basically the show.

its fun to watch right now but if they stick to a formulaic killer-of-the-week its probably going to get super cliche and boring. I don't see them veering hard into Dominion style "end of the world" territory too much though, maybe just some rando "gotta catch all the demons" kinda stuff.

After one has debauched and tortured and punished mortals since the begining of time one gets bored. Solving crimes with a random chick in LA is different for him and that alone probably makes it worth trying for a bit.

He's interested in her because his 'power' doesn't work on her. That's it. When you are used to being able to make everything in creation spill its guts to you at the drop of a hat it is a mystery that needs solving when you find someone that doesn't.

Are we really gonna debate the motivations of the Devil in a fucking tv show?

Really enjoyed it from start to finish, although I was surprised that things got wrapped up in one episode, I was expecting more of a story arc. Not sure how long they can sustain it on a X of the week formula, but if they keep it as funny and entertaining as that I'll keep watching.

I think if you're a fan of the comic this is supposed to be based on you're going to hate this show.

Things so far it has in common with the comic.

1. He has a club in L.A.

I enjoyed the series and characters enough to tattoo parts of my body with them but when watching the show I had no clue it was related. I was a bit surprised and then just said fuck it because the main dude is enjoyable. I'll keep watching.

For fans of the comic, Lucifer's premiere is a cold day in hell

Seems it doesn't get any better.

Oh well. Here's hoping Preacher isn't a steaming pile of dogshit too.

the bartender chick who looks like a young Halle Berry is smoking hot. Too bad she's not the detective, and the show isn't on Starz. Titties and more violence would turn this show from a 7/10 to a 10/10

also when lucifer scared the record producer guy by looking like the devil we think in the mirror, is that his real form or is his human form his real form? If he's really a deviled red scaley dude... well, wouldn't some women see his true form when they are banging...

No idea, but in the comics Lucifer is an angel. When he retires from Hell he gave up none of his powers, but had Morpheus (in Sandman) cut his wings off. So he just looked like a human, basically. The Lucifer series had a lot of plots based around Lucifer's enemies trying to fuck with him. He also had a demon that came with him and acted as a waitress. Mazikeen. Her back story and a few arcs around her family might make it to the screen if the series gets the ratings to stay on the air a few seasons.

I'm embarrassed by how much I enjoyed this considering it is network TV.
