I went through the trouble of resetting my IMDb password to write this, so you know I mean this.
This show is really remarkable. All four seasons. But this review is only for Season 4. Let's get the basics out of the way: good acting, editing, plot, effects, etc.
What makes this show special is how it can be both "liberal" and yet not so. Yeah the devil is (at times) a guy who loves sex, even orgies, owns a bar with pole dancers, and drinks a lot. Eve, and even the demon Mazikeen, are both actually bisexual. And you see it. And yet, strange to say, it is a very tame show. I mean it has all that, yet there is not a single sex scene. Or a single nude scene (apart from showing his but in a hilarious way). There is no unnecessary swear words - when they are used (and it's rare) they are earned. The scenes where Eve or Mazikeen hint at or explicitly engage in kissing other women also do not feel forced as though this is part of some feminist agenda.
I also don't know whether this is a comedy or a drama. The earlier seasons were probably more of the former, but this one has a good mix of both. The messages it presents of forgiveness and improvement and loyalty is really great. As a Christian I am also surprised by how well it deals with Christian elements. Of course all of it is fictional and not meant to be serious discussions on the faith, but it's just relaxing to know that they do not go out of their way to critique it.
Lucifer, especially season 4, but in reality all seasons, change in almost every episode. He is constantly evolving. He is always interesting. And yet his core essence of being a confused but good man is the same.
There are just some thoughts. Whether you like sci fi or police shows, comedy or drama, Christianity or atheism, modern progressive elements or not, you will enjoy this show.
