The main reason for me wanting to this was for Tom Ellis; he was brilliant in Miranda plus the whole heaven and hell theme so I was instantly on board for this.
There is a big part of this show – most of the season actually – that is just another cop show but this guy happens to have some 'powers' but even those aren't used on every case. There are some boring story lines through the show especially in the middle and it's not until the last two episodes that things start to pick up.
There is some bad green screen work with basic driving scenes but also a rooftop scene with some horrible work. There were some awesome bits and pieces in some of the episodes including one where the therapist, Dr. Linda Martin, goes out onto the field.
There are a lot of funny bits through the whole season, mostly Lucifer but sometimes the other cast members are the ones providing the laughs.
Something that annoyed me was the dropping, or ignoring, of story lines. Something happens at the beginning of the season between Lucifer and Chloe, the detective, which just simmers out and is only touched upon every couple of episodes.
The cast is pretty good, most of them get some character development as the season progresses but I'm not too sure about Chloe (Lauren German). I think the actress is good but I just don't think the character is being written very well; some moments she seems really smart and tough (mostly the first and last episodes) but then in other moments (the rest of the season) she gets kind of airy and it's almost like the writers are deliberately dumbing her down.
It's a show that has its ups and downs, it's not a show where I ever need to watch Season One again but I will probably watch the second season.
