Lucifer S1/E1 Review

 

Description:

Lucifer is the story of the original fallen angel. Bored and unhappy as the Lord of Hell, Lucifer Morningstar has resigned his throne and retired to the City of Angels, where he owns an upscale piano bar called Lux. When a beautiful pop star is murdered, for the first time in roughly 10 billion years, he feels something awaken deep within him. Is he actually capable of feelings for a human being? The very thought disturbs him. The murder attracts the attention of LAPD homicide detective Chloe Dancer, who finds herself both repulsed and fascinated by Lucifer. At the same time, God's emissary, the angel Amenadiel, has been sent to Los Angeles to convince Lucifer to return to Hell. But with the City of Angels at his feet and a newfound purpose, Lucifer's having too much fun to go back now.

 

Sexy, dark and irreverent, Lucifer makes its Comic-Con debut with a screening of the complete pilot episode, followed by a Q&A with series star and producers.

*My Thoughts*

One of the coolest experience at Comic-Con is the advance screenings of TV shows, especially shows that intrigue me like FOX's Lucifer. This new show is based on a comic book series by Vertigo, a DC Entertainment imprint. I haven't read this particular comic book series, but after watching this pilot episode of Lucifer, my interest is peaked. The cast are amazing as they bring to life these characters on the small screen, Tom Ellis as he portrays the charming and witty Lucifer. It was apparent that the audience enjoyed watching this pilot as the room was filled with laughter.

 

This show shows all the glitz and glamour of Los Angeles, including the dark side as well. We see another side of Lucifer as he integrates himself into mainstream society in the City of Angels. Along with the humor and drama, a police procedural is incorporated into the plot to further drive the show, as well as the supernatural element that lies behind all the action.

 

Fans will definitely get a feel for the "human" side of Lucifer as he integrates himself into society. Filled with humor and drama, I am definitely looking forward to watching this new show! I may have to check out the comic book series before then, too!
