Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaEarly in the episode, David Bowie's "Fame" can be heard playing. In The Sandman comic book series, which this version of the character is based on, Lucifer was specifically drawn to look like David Bowie.
- GoofsOne of Lucifer's defining character traits is that he never lies. He breaks this rule when he claims to have narcotics for 2Vile to convince the butler to let him into the mansion.
As established throughout the series, Lucifer nearly always carries some kind of drug about his person. It's likely he planned to give 2Vile whatever he happened to have, if directly asked or told to do so, (thus making them narcotics "for" 2Vile), and simply managed things so it never came up.

Featured review
"Lucifer:" The most original pilot I've seen in years.
The titular character Lucifer is marvelously played by Tom Ellis, who I whole-heartedly believe could have competed for a "Best TV Actor - Comedy" Golden Globe, had the show chosen to premiere in the fall, rather than as a mid-season replacement. "Lucifer" already has it's back against the wall. But perhaps it's slotting right behind the monster ratings galore X-Files reboot can proof beneficial. Lucifer, his new pals, and their real-life counterparts appear eagerly determined to achieve one synonymous end-goal: Humorously investigating crimes, long past the current calendar year.
Lucifer is not the star of a one-man, "National Lampoon's Earth Vacation" act, however. He is accompanied by a female bartender named Maze. During the fast-paced expository scenes, Lucifer is shown as owning his own nightclub and having a knack for playing the piano. He regularly performs with an old pal-turned superstar musician named Delilah, whose sudden murder triggers the chain of events which eventually land Lucifer as an official consultant for the LAPD.
He possesses the supernatural ability to reel in the inner-desires of his acquaintances, who seemingly lose all sense of discreteness and filtering whilst conversing with Lucifer. The "man" is just plain irresistible, both physically to the woman he encounters, and aesthetically to viewers like me, who take it upon themselves to adequately analyze this creature masquerading as a human. Its almost like Austin Powers, Dr. Evil, and the animated representation of Satan from South Park all decided to combine the three of their personalities together, while sitting around a coffee table, smoking marijuana, and watching police procedural dramas.
Lucifer's devilish personality undergoes some minor adjusting when he meets Chloe Dancer, a detective uniquely impervious to Lucifer's manipulative wits. I am not sure if Lucifer and Chloe should go full cliché mode and turn their bickering and banter-filled professional partnership into a romantic one later on in the series. I also believe the writing staff should be particularly careful with their treatment of Lucifer's blatantly foreshadowed, "round character" transformation.
I hope the remainder of the season is able to maintain the balance of both good humour and excellent story progression its premiere outing showcased. If it appears ill-fated to crash headfirst into "dumped show status," I hope the writers will be given enough notice to prepare a proper send-off to Lucifer. The show is either modern ingeniousness, or simply evil-reincarnated. No comedies debuting in January are this good anymore, without there being a catch involved. Hopefully, if the other shoe beings to drop at some point, Lucifer's brother Amenadiel will slow down time, so one of the hellish "humans" roaming the earth can "catch" it before it falls.
