Featured review
Lucifer returns for a second season, and he's looking for his potentially very angry mother.
LUCIFER (2015-Present) is back with it's second season. As a quick recap, Lucifer (Tom Ellis) is bored of ruling over hell, so he abdicates (He cuts his wings off, and later burns them.), settles in Los Angeles as a nightclub owner of Lux, and begins consulting for the LAPD. He partnered himself with Detective Chloe Decker (Lauren German), solving cases and punishing sinners.
Abandoning Hell leaves his brother, Amenadiel (D.B. Woodside), a bit cross, and it's the it's the source of general conflict for them for most of the first season.
Due to his extended time on Earth, Lucifer also experiences a slew of unforeseen emotions, which causes him to see out the help of therapist, Dr. Leslie Martin (Rachael Harris), in which he takes up a sexual relationship. Despite elements of heavy drama, this show is a comedy, and it's fun. You're not going to get LAW AND ORDER: HELL.
I like the aspect that this version of Lucifer Morningstar, the Devil, wasn't 'cast out' of Heaven. His 'father' requested that he take the post. It was more of a mandatory request, but it wasn't a war. This show's version of the Heaven/Hell conflict is prime time friendly-- no end of days, fire and brimstone here. I also like how the writers play with the fact that Lucifer has been honest about who he really is, but people generally just don't believe him.
The major cliché for me is the fact that not only do none of his powers of persuasion work around Chloe, but neither does his invulnerability. He essentially becomes more 'human' when he's around her. Because of this he nearly gets himself killed last season. It's a cliché, but one i can live with....for the moment.
Season two, episode two, EVERYTHING'S COMING UP LUCIFER, we find Lucifer and Amenadiel on the hunt for their 'Mum' (Tricia Helfer), who has escaped Hell. She was cast out of Heaven by 'Dear Old Dad (We don't know why yet.), and sent to Hell where she had less than a stellar relationship with Lucifer. Lucifer now believes she will come after him, and try to kill him.
Chloe and Lucifer are called to a murder, which Lucifer believe is the work of his mother, and we're off. At this point, it becomes a 'police procedural dramedy' with Lucifer still trying to prove to Chloe that he really is the Devil, and Amenadiel trying dissuade Lucifer and his claims. Despite this, Lucifer and Amenadiel are a bit more of a united front this season.
This was a great start to season two. The cast is much more integrated. There's a new dynamic to Mazikeen (Lesley-Ann Brandt) that involves Dr. Martin. Mazi isn't just Lucifer's right hand demon. She's becoming very much her own flushed out character.
Amenadiel even has a new dynamic, and a little more interaction with Chloe. Chloe's Ex and fellow detective, Dan Espinoza (Kevin Alejandro) has avoided jail for his season one misdeeds, but has been demoted to basically detective gofer, and, Forensic Scientist Ella Lopez (Aimee Garcia) is a perky, fresh face.
This was a fun, engaging 'who done it' episode. I'm really looking forward to seeing out these new characters and character dynamics play out. I highly recommend it, and if you haven't yet, check out the thirteen episodes of season one. I don't think you'll be disappointed..
