Based on characters created by Neil Gaiman, Sam Kieth and Mike Dringenberg, this series follows Lucifer, the original fallen angel, who has become dissatisfied with his life in hell. After abandoning his throne and retiring to Los Angeles, Lucifer indulges in his favorite things (women, wine and song) -- until a murder takes place outside of his upscale nightclub. For the first time in billions of years, the murder awakens something unfamiliar in Lucifer's soul that is eerily similar to compassion and sympathy. Lucifer is faced with another surprise when he meets an intriguing homicide detective named Chloe, who appears to possess an inherent goodness -- unlike the worst of humanity, to which he is accustomed. Suddenly, Lucifer starts to wonder if there is hope for his soul.

What to Know

Critics Consensus

Lucifer's got sex appeal, but the show's hackneyed cop procedural format undermines a potentially entertaining premise.

You'd be better served to watch any of the other detective dramas to which I've compared the lifeless "Lucifer." Just heed my warning: Stay away from this mid-season mediocrity fest. Go to Full Review Ed Power Daily Telegraph (UK) 01/26/2016
4/5
With Ellis's scenery-chewing as its centrifugal force, Lucifer is a pulp fandango that revels in its inherent silliness and is all the richer for it. Go to Full Review Gail Pennington St. Louis Post-Dispatch 01/26/2016
2.5/4
Protests have been heard against turning Lucifer into a good guy, but in fact, he's mainly just a smug jerk with a creepy smile. And as his reluctant sidekick, German is as bland as her counterparts on a lot of better shows. Go to Full Review Randy Dankievitch TV Over Mind 02/11/2020
0.5/5
[A]nother forgettable drama bound to be quickly lost in the excesses of the modern television landscape. Go to Full Review Karen Rought Hypable 03/01/2019
Aside from the story itself, Lucifer's pilot stands out among the 2015-2016 premieres. The music is an absolute perfect fit for the show... The dialogue is snappy and wry, and Tom Ellis is absolutely delicious as Lucifer, Lord of Hell. Go to Full Review Naila Scargill Exquisite Terror 02/28/2019
Featuring the Devil in his most vanilla of forms, horror fans will be left wanting; Lucifer is disappointingly sparse on strong imagery. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Brenden D @WestWardReviews Aug 11 A Devilishly Delightful Premeire Season Of Television The First Season Of Lucifer Hooks Everyone Who Tries To Just Dip Their Toe Into The Pull, Only To Cannonball In Deep As Soon As Tom Ellis Delivers A Godly Like Hellishly Hot Performance That Has Intoxicated Many All The Way To The Very End. Tom Ellis & Lauren German Have Fantastic Chemistry As The Instantly Shipped "Deckerstar". Chloe's No Nonsense Approach Mixed With The Devil's Chaos Will Provide Ample Laughs For Everyone, And Melt Others As Lucifer Attempts To Use More Than His Devilish Charm On Chloe. Kevin Alejandro Brings The Right Mix Of Irritation, Suspicion, Frustration, And Heart As A Dirty Cop Tries To Make Right On His Past Mistakes. Many Props Detective Douche. Lesley Ann-Brandt Is LITERALLY EVERYONE'S FETISH As Maze Who Has A Sadistic Pleasurable Prescence But Starts To Grow Her Soul Once Introduced To Fan Favorite Trixie Played Brilliantly By Scarlett Estevez. D.B. Woodside As God's Favorite Angel Works Just SO DAMN WELL, Almost Like You Actually Believe It With His Stern Approach And Velvet Delivery. Rachel Harris As Dr. Linda Martin Helps Us All To Understand Lucifer's Deeper Complexities Brilliantly. The Premiere Season Might Not Be The Strongest, But It's Far From The Weakest. It's Still Plenty Entertaining And Includes Plenty Of Fan Favorite Moments & Episodes, Including The Famous "A Priest Walks Into A Bar". Coleman Domingo Makes Such A Powerful Impact In His Single Episode That Actually Carries Till Near The Very End Of The Series. A Priest Befriending The Devil Is GENIOUS & PERFECTION! Absolutely Worth A Watch. I Guarantee You'll Be Hooked & Watch The Series In Its Entirety. B+/A- 8.6/10 A MUST WATCH SHOW FOR EVERYONE See more Ken C. @kc26654 Aug 10 I watch very low tile TV.

There's comedy and a tad bit of drama. It definitely keeps you interested.
