    Lucifer is my favorite new show of 2016 and one of my favorite shows of all time. Tom Ellis's performances as Lucifer Morningstar is exceptional, he is hilarious, cool, charming, and also gives a very deep and complex performance and he gives the best portrayal of the devil I have ever seen.

The supporting performances are stupendous especially from Lesley-Ann Brandt, Lauren German, Rachael Harris, Scarlett Estevez, Kevin Rankin, and D.B. Woodside The writing is excellent. The concept of Lucifer the devil struggling with good and evil, beginning to want to be reformed and a good person, and showing signs of remorse, humanity, empathy, and love and caring for others is remarkable. The visual effects are superb especially Lucifer when he shows himself as the devil, when Maze shows herself as a demon, and when Amenadiel shows his wings, the visual effects are so cool and awesome. The costumes are outstanding especially on Tom Ellis and Lesley-Ann Brandt. The music choices were fantastic and they fit perfectly in the show. The makeup and hairstyling was terrific especially on Lesley-Ann Brandt, Rachel Harris, and Lauren German. An overall pretty perfect season, I would say an A+ first season.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The best TV-series produced over many years, S1 deserves a separate review being it truly a MASTERPIECE, captivating, ironic, original, amazing, never predictable. The film-photography was incomparable. “Cinema is moving painting” said Louis Delluc and Fellini used to say: "A movie is written with the light". Lucifer was something-like-this. Indeed, photographic images shot in the interiors are rich in "chiaroscuro". The effect is, using a metaphor, that it looks like you plunged yourself into a Caravaggio paint. Everything’s perfectly studied: acting, writing, camera framing all are unbelievable, allowing to capture the best actors’ performance. Soundtrack, the best I've ever heard, is cleverly coordinated to each episode and the action, both in lyrics and in tune.
    There’s thread of sadness running underneath this season that gives it its “noir” aftertaste. Despite the jokes and lightheartedness, the protagonist is lonely, living his life as something ineluctable. S1 attracts a selected audience that is just its strength. I was very surprised and unpleasantly impressed from some critics/audience reviews I read. Anyway, a masterpiece may be least appreciated than a worthless-crust. Although the series’s got a cop procedural format (I suppose it’s one reasons S1 was unjustly penalized by Critics and didn’t received the rating it deserves, in addition to differences with Gaiman’s Comics, which may have disappointed comics-readers), it hides deep meanings as it plays with a larger story arc throughout all seasons. S1 captures and manages you to unleash intense emotions and reflections. Its strengths are the content and the protagonist who’s attracting for his tasty touch, mannerism, intense looks.
    The series is supported by a noteworthy Cast. Ellis, with his masterful performance and playful-gleam in his eyes, is effortless at being devilishly awesome, in S1 is a more believable Devil, than in the following ones. Lucifer is a psychologically complex character. Apparently cold, distant, self-centred, superficial, impudent, hiding his own lack of self-confidence with his irony but, in the deeper, emotionally captivating, never overdone, having deep feelings, living by his passion, never ridiculous, a charming British accent and dandy-side. His extraordinary acting allows him to better express all these aspects. If I could, I’d surely give 10 stars.    … Expand

    Mix of High School Musical and NCIS but it has a good potential... The first series was amazing, the actor who plays Lucifer is very realistic and all these biblical creatures are something fascinating; trust me everybody loves tv shows with angels, devils, good and evil.

It's always the same: murder, Lucifer makes investigating all about himself, usually it's always the same killer (some relative that is showed on the beginning of the episode) and the whole episode is so predictable. It's definitely not a show for anyone with average IQ or above. Terrorists, stars and jealous fan, heritage, drugs, food poisoning, etc. The characters are like I wrote very interesting. For example Linda, the therapist. But why don't they show something more from her personal life? They showed her husband, what happened to him? How she lives? What is her story? Nothing. You always see her at her office, that's it. This show is missing one important thing. THE DEPTH.… Expand

    - During the first 2 seasons this will feel like your everyday cop series with smart wit and average CGI. But in fact by the time i got to season 3 and it all made sense.

    - Amazing character build up and storytelling.

    - This series has it all: drama, horror, comedy, love, action, fiction and it really goes on and on depend on how the persons sees it.

    - This show definitely affected how i see myself, other people and the world and i am truly happy i decided to give it a shot and watch it.

    - The only downside is the poor CGI which is rarely present but they could have done a better job especially that it wasn't used that often during the show.

    100% must watch, every episode doesn't feel the same but will all add up every now and then.    … Expand

    Great season, very funny relationships and 1 liners. The background and character building done extremely well and fairly in line with modern lore and dante's inferno, which is continued well for most of the show admittedly though it does fall off after season 1.

    Eu realmente gosto desta série. Foi interessante, divertido e cativante ver os dois atores principais terem uma ótima química. Adoro imenso o Lucifer, o seu humor e a forma como ele encara assuntos que parecem ser tão complexas para nós, humanos. As histórias dos casos são únicas e raramente são previsíveis (coisa que é rara acontecer em dramas policiais).

    What the show has in character's immersion and working out for him characteristics, sins in stories' creativity. Every episode is extremely repetitive. Until 1st season, it doesn't even bother so much, but in posterior seasons makes you want to left show behind and stop watching.

    As the title character, Tom Ellis embodies what I'd hope a Lucifer-in-real-life would: master of every skill, deviously handsome and irresistible to women (and men). He truly is the package, all wrapped up in a bow and gorgeous paper. The supporting cast is nuanced and appropriate -- the relationships between all are very believable.

    Love the show - One of my favorite shows. The show has helped me to see Lucifer in a different light - a person who punishes evil, a fallen angel. A fallen angel would not be the horrible creature that some interpretations of the Bible present ... but an angel who punishes evil

    "Lucifer" is watchable, with mediocre highs and lows: it never stands out, but does not even end in the trash, The main idea is not too bad, but they could have developed it in more involving ways.

    This is hands down one of the most entertaining shows on television at the moment all the characters are great but Tom Ellis who seems to have found his niche with lucifer is fantastic with equal amounts of intensity and humour, also Lauren German as chloe is his perfect partner this show keeps getting better so long may it continue.

    A formulaic romcompoldram that is not without it's charm. It will entertain you if you leave the critic within you dormant. Charm can go a long way when Trump reminds us daily what it is to be without charm.

    Lucifer brings forth a lovable, charming cast and the characters that they play.

    Every episode brings a smile and considering they air it every Monday, one of the days most of us need it the most, it works out quite well. It's a fun, quirky, easy to watch show and I'd recommend it to anyone wanting just that.

    Don't look too hard into critic reviews and watch it for yourself!

    Average direction, Actors are good in general. Tom Ellis is particularly great. Some characters are kind of boring or underexploited (Amenadiel). There's also a great lack of supernatural stuff. But it's good stuff overall.

    The show’s supporting players--in particular, D.B. Woodside’s Amenadiel, sent down from Heaven to insist Lucifer go back from where he came, Rachael Harris as Lucifer’s shrink, and Lesley-Ann Brandt as Maze, Lucifer’s ass-kicking assistant--hint at the possibility of a more interesting show (as does a closing twist in “Favorite Son”). Until or unless the show’s writing staff digs down and explore those darker instincts, however, Lucifer feels stuck in creative purgatory.

    Lucifer is the most accessible [of the twoshows--the other being Syfy's "The Magicians"], mostly because it feels as if we've already seen it before. And we have, one way or another; "Lucifer" feels a bit as if Syfy's fallen-angel drama "Dominion" mated with ABC's "Castle."
