Why 'Lucifer' Has the Best Cast and Plot on TV Right Now

There is a mild risk that we might hint at something we shouldn’t or spoil this show for you. If you are really worried, just stop reading and go watch it right now. It’s on Fox, have a look at the trailer below.


Why The Lucifer TV Show Is Great

In the TV show Lucifer, the Devil comes to LA because he’s bored of hell. He’s immortal, can seduce anyone and spends his time having fun. He makes a point of never hiding who he is, it’s just no-one believes him.

At the start of the season an old friend of Lucifer is killed in front of him and he decides to get revenge, which involves him working with the police detective on the case.

This cop just so happens to be the one person on earth who is immune to his charms. She’s a serious detective with something to prove. He’s the Devil and likes causing trouble, drinking and asking people about their deepest desires. Strangely they work well together. Their friction and chemistry is a huge part of the appeal of the show.

 

The Lucifer Cast

Lucifer Morningstar

Lucifer, the lord of hell is played by Tom Ellis, a British actor who previously started in the TV show Rush. Lucifer is of course the Devil but not a scary sort of devil, more naughty. He’s here to have fun, it just so happens that he ends up solving crimes because it’s interesting.

Mazikeen

Working with Lucifer in his nightclub is a demon in human form, Mazikeen. Played by Lesley-Ann Brandt who you will recognize from Spartacus: Blood and Sand. She’s incredibly loyal to Lucifer and is quite happy to beat people up just because.

Amenadiel

Lucifer’s brother Amenadiel (D.B. Woodside) also makes the trip to the human world. Their relationship is tense because Amenadiel wants Lucifer to go back to hell and Lucifer wants stay in LA because he's enjoying himself. Other family members appear later in the show but we don’t want to give away too much.

Chloe Decker

Detective Decker (Lauren German) is a tough cop and the one person on the planet who is immune to Lucifer’s charms. Of course this makes her irresistible to Lucifer. She has no time for nonsense which means she is exasperated by him at first, but finds his strange abilities very useful when it comes to closing cases.

Dan Espinoza

Decker has a child with Dan Espinoza, who is also police detective in her precinct. They were together but have since separated. Espinoza is played by Kevin Alejandro who was in True Blood and has even played another DC comics character appearing as Sebastian Blood in Arrow.

Linda Martin

Because it’s set in LA, Lucifer gets a psychiatrist. Linda Martin doesn’t believe that Lucifer is the devil but does think he’s got some issues he needs to talk about. She thinks his stories of angels, demons and god are all just metaphors family problems. Linda is played by Rachael Harris, who has previously been in Suits and appeared in the Hangover.


Who Is Lucifer Morningstar?

The version of Lucifer Morningstar for the TV show is based on the character in the popular and award winning Sandman graphic novels by Neil Gaiman. This Lucifer is charming and leaves hell because he is bored of dealing with the souls of humans. He sets up a nightclub called LUX in LA. This version of Lucifer is much more of a fallen angel, than the source of all evil.

He can make anyone reveal their deepest desire, which he uses to help Decker solve crimes. He’s got a few other powers that get revealed. He’s not really evil but does believe people must pay their debts, especially if they do a deal with him.

In the original graphic novel Lucifer was styled on David Bowie but Tom Ellis has said he plays him as somewhere between Oscar Wilde and Mick Jagger.


Lucifer Season 1

The first series of Lucifer aired in January 2016 and gained a average of 3.89 million viewers per episode. The season had 13 episodes in total.


Lucifer season 2

The second season of Lucifer introduces a few more family members into the fun. It first aired in September 2016, but only features 18 episodes instead of the expected 22 because the last four episodes are being pushed into the third season.


Will There Be Lucifer Season 3?

Season 3 has already been confirmed with transmission some time in 2018.
