Really? the cliched trope of "the pruhfecee"? ugh This show feels like a series of filler stories with bits of well-written moments. It all started going downhill during season 3 which is what makes me see so clearly now why FOX had canceled it there. In a lot of interviews, the actors keep claiming that the show encompasses a lot of things at once and that is hard to be defined a single thing but there is clearly a formula: Lucifer "gains an insight" about some trivial thing, tests said insight, teases Chloe, they solve the crime, the culprit of the episodes says something that relates to Lucifer's "issue" and in the meantime of all this, the secondary characters are paired up in a new line up so we can see how the dynamics "are always so different inbetween distinct characters". Oh also important to mention that the show would end if for once they would really translate Lucifer's arrogant... I mean charming confidence into just having him ask straightforward questions and telling the whole truth... I guess suppose that it makes sense that an insecure person such as him would never behave that way but still... I get too much of the Edward Cullen vibes at times. Despite all this, I feel like it had something nice going for itself until the show writters started to get so in your face with lots of exposition, explicit 'lessons' about right and wrong and a poor casting choice in the form of (who said he was a good actor?) Tom Welling... The devil might be in the details but they kinda took too close to heart and now the devil is blatantly all over your face and that's where I think it lost its charm, final blow for me was the whole "prophecy" trope. For a show that's loosely related to christian beliefs, I think one could argue that they were pretty much allowed to take that route but the execution is so poor, that even felt like a rip off of many class-b satanic possesion movies. Not to mention killing off Tricia Helfer's characters... Maybe I'm just too demanding.
