My wife and I watched the first episode last night. We both liked the vibe of the show, very sassy. I think it helps to forget the lead is supposed to be the devil, as he has redeeming qualities. The two leads are very good.
If you don't like most police procedurals, you definitely won't like Lucifer. I think it' strength is the two leads and it's frank dialogue.I saw the preview setup and thought "this could be different".... and suddenly it's a police procedural. Not interested.
This would be way more interesting if it was about buying & selling souls from the devil's perspective.. but a murder of the week with the Devil interested in solving it seems like a show that would be on TV in Futurama.
If I recall correctly, he started out nice. I like the show not because it's an accurate portrayal of the myth of Lucifer, but because I like the performers and the writing is good too.I watched the first few episodes. It is reasonably entertaining I suppose but I think Lucifer has become too nice too fast. I think he really needs a truly evil side to make the show interesting and I don't think we are ever going to see that.

As you watched the show, Lucifer has been in LA for a while so they could go back in show flashbacks when he wasn't so nice and was truly evil.If I recall correctly, he started out nice. I like the show not because it's an accurate portrayal of the myth of Lucifer, but because I like the performers and the writing is good too.
I'm of the opinion that I liked it, but a think it has to get better for me to stick with it.Just watched the finale yesterday. It was a nice wrap-up of a lot of threads and I am looking forward to the next season. All in all it worked quite well for me.
