Lucifer Review: Season 1 Episode 2 "Lucifer, Stay. Good Devil"


Lucifer Season 1 Episode 2
“Lucifer, Stay. Good Devil”

Synopsis:
When a movie star’s son is killed after being chased by the paparazzi, Chloe takes a deep look into the case with a little help from Lucifer. Meanwhile, Maze and Amenadiel continue to encourage Lucifer to go back to hell.

The Good:
Another Solid episode, fun to watch the slow build of a first season. Even though this is a Comicbook property, the show is written in such a way that it is entertaining even if you haven’t read or know anything about the comic.

The Bad:
The only downside so far through the first two episodes, there is a lot of different stories going. Not that its horrible, but sometimes it means there isn’t enough time for everything.


Final Thoughts:
Two episode’s and I am officially hooked. The more i watch it the more interesting the character of Lucifer is, I am looking forward to how the series grows with the moral changes Lucifer goes through. The benefit of this being a new series and also a short one, its more of a weekly episodic series right now. Will this change in the future? My guess is yes, and I hope it does but for the time this is a nice change in pace from most of the shows I currently watch.

If you’re looking for a fun and entertaining show that isn’t to serious yet, than this is the show for you. I give this episode Two Thumbs Up, Let us know what your thoughts of the show are and leave your comments below.

Lucifer Review: Season 1 Episode 1 "Pilot"


Lucifer Season 1 Episode 1
“Pilot”

Synopsis:
Lucifer has left Hell to take up a life on Earth. When a friend of his is murdered Lucifer joins forces with the god side of the law to discover who the perpetrators are and to give them what they rightfully deserve.

The Good:
A great first episode, it follows a lot of the same formula we are currently seeing with the DC Comic shows on CW and CBS. 

The Bad: 
Since there is only one episode there was not a lot to go off of. In many ways the show hit it out of the park with the first one and I am certainly going watch going forward. If there is one negative, Lucifer might get trapped in the Guy chasing girl/Girl Chasing guy routine. 


Final Thoughts:
One it looks like Fox has doubled up on the Comicbook shows, developing the Vertigo Comic for there Monday lineup. I enjoyed the first episode and am looking forward to more episodes but the expectation is high. Not only is Geoff Johns an executive producer, but so is Jerry Bruckheimer and Len Wiseman. 

I also find the casting of Tom Ellis to be perfect for Lucifer. I am interested in what he and Lauren German bring to the table for the two leading characters.

I give Lucifer Two Thumbs Up. Let us know what your thoughts are and leave your comments below.
