Default Lucifer, stay. Good Devil.

Seriously one of the best new shows I've seen in awhile. I can't get over how good this guy is.

I watched the first three episodes and for some reason it just didn't engage me, which is too bad because I love the concept.

It reminds me of a book I read when I was a kid that was all short stories about the devil.

hail satan.

I really enjoy this show.

Lots of entertainment. Not a huge thinker of a show or anything but one of the better shows I have seen on network TV in a while.

Yeah truth be told, this is probably more of a guilty pleasure show than anything. Tom Ellis is absolutely the biggest selling point though. It's crazy how entertaining this guy is to watch. I'd never even heard of him before, but he's already one of my favourite TV actors.

Lucifer wanting to have sex with the female detective and always getting rebuffed is the funniest part of the show.

Big, big fan of the show and of Tom Ellis.

This is the end of ep 6, and it pretty much had me in tears.
I enjoy how a lot of the show deals with Lucifer's relationship with his father, God.



as with a lot of shows now, it's also fun to play "where in Vancouver is this being filmed".

Was it a book written by Neil Gaiman? 'cuz the show is based on characters created by him, Sam Kieth and Mike Dringenberg

Tom Ellis is a great actor. When I see someone doing such a great job like this I always wonder why I've never seen any of his or her work before.

I think I am going to give this show a shot, I thought the previews looked funny and the positive comments in here have me willing to take the leap.

There's literally hundreds of classically rep theatre trained actors in the UK doing TV shows on the BBC or ITV that end up here.
It wierds me out no end to hear the lead guy from Walking dead on some English cop show talking with a broad Geordie accent.

I have to disagree. What makes this show fun is Lucifer's one liners. Sharp witty; usually extremely inappropriate. However at the end of the day he often makes a good point.

Seems to be influenced by the Rob Lowe movie, Bad Influence.
