Summary
Reviewers say 'Lucifer' is acclaimed for its distinctive mix of comedy, fantasy, and crime, featuring exceptional performances, particularly Tom Ellis as Lucifer. The show's intricate characters and captivating narratives are frequently mentioned. However, some criticize inconsistent writing, especially in later seasons, and issues with character growth and plot consistency. Disappointment is noted regarding the finale and the perceived change in tone and quality post-Netflix transition. Despite these drawbacks, many find the series entertaining and recommend it for its charm and lead characters.

Thank Luci himself that fox cancelled this show because Netflix is doing a much better job only one season in!
I have loved this show since day one, and an avid fan of all three of the prior season before Fox stupidly cancelled it, which actually was a gift. I was one of the fans that worked in the twitter campaign to help save the show,working along with the producers, writers, cast, crew and fans from around the world, with the hashtag #SaveLucifer making history, as Netflix was more than eager to give this show a fabulous new home. So now this series is even better, the new Season 4 just released May 8 2019 is so much more, despite only 10 episodes, they are packed with action, drama,it is bolder, yet the humor in the show is still there, it is definitely the best season yet. For new viewers, do watch the first 3 seasons before the new one, as the characters history is important to this story. I am just finishing doing a binge watch for the third time and it just never gets old. Treasure of a show, great actors, good tight writing, great set designs, cool music throughout, and even a little nudity. What more can you want. Netflix, we need a season 5,6,7 and on.
2019 Update: After yet another fan campaign and good reviews for season 4 on Netflix, we got season 5, although it will be the last and we really wanted 6 seasons, But then Netflix listened, and gave the show twice the episodes for season 5, another win. Can't wait, the writers keep tweeting us the episode titles and have promised the best season yet.
Update for Season 5.1 released Aug 21: AWESOME. One of the best seasons yet. We get some answers, some closure on some things (keeping this spoiler free for you), many of our favorite characters go through unexpected changes, and a new bad guys appears in a familiar face. Best acting ever from this amazing cast. Lots of funny moments too. The second half of season 5 is almost finished and will be on Netflix later, and we are also getting a Season 6 in the future. Just an amazing show, brought back to life by amazing fans, writers, producers, actors and thanks to Netflix.
Update for final season 6. September 10 2021 Just finished watching. These writers amaze me. They gave the fans so many things they knew we wanted. Maybe not in the way we expected, but something for everyone. Lots of action, lots of laughter and definitely some tears. Closure. Tied up loose ends . Some characters reappear. Just an amazing group of writers and producers and a fabulous cast. Good writers know when to stop. They told their story, the way they wanted to, working with the desires of the fans, and gave it the ending they wanted. Sure I would have watched it for dozens of more seasons, and still would have loved it, but actors and writers have to move on. The six season ( really 7 when you count the double number of episodes in season 5). , yeah, six was a good number. You will love this final seaon. There will be music. Dancing. Laughter. Tears. Surprises. A hell of a ride.

Lucifer really surprised me by how much I enjoyed it. First of all, I can't say enough about Tom Ellis. He is perfect for this role. I know a lot of people have already said this but he's a really underrated actor. I can't wait to see what he does next. Lucifer is based off the Neil Gaiman comics. It's part fantasy, part comedy, part mystery, among other things. Some of the seasons seem a bit stretched out with some filler episodes but overall every season is terrific. Lucifer was canceled by Fox after three seasons but the fans were so upset and loud about it that Netflix picked it up and it continued for another three seasons, ending after Season 6. I already miss this show now that it's gone. We'll always have the reruns though.
I have to say that I enjoyed Lucifer a lot more than I thought I would. It takes a really unique spin on police procedurals that works very well. The best part of this show though is easily Tom Ellis as Lucifer! He's such an underrated actor and deserves to be a bigger star than he is. Hopefully once this show wraps up after the series ends next season he will get his chance at superstardom! Going to miss this show once it's gone.
I am 2 series in and just love this show.
I would say that this is (so far at least) on par with another series that I love, Grimm.
Tom Ellis as Lucifer is just brilliant!

- TriviaTom Ellis (Lucifer) does his own singing throughout the show, although does not play the piano on screen. In early interviews for the show, he said he didn't "really know" how to. In 2019, a video of him accompanying himself on a piano whilst singing showed he's since added this skill to his repertoire (however, he has said in several interviews since that he is still only playing ¨air piano¨ in scenes as Lucifer).
- GoofsThe pilot establishes that Lux is located in the same building as the El Capitan Theater in the 6800 block of Hollywood Boulevard, but subsequent episodes use aerial establishing shots of the Sunset Tower Hotel over two miles away on Sunset Boulevard for Lucifer's penthouse, which is supposedly in the same building as Lux.
