This moved to Netflix after it was cancelled by
Fox after 3 seasons. It will last at least 2 more
seasons at Nflix.

I'm really enjoying it. I love how they treat
the Xtion myth like it should be treated,
as a myth. The show is campy, sarcastic,
fun. Lucifer is a smart ass'd narcissistic
charming know it all. I like how he tells
everybody exactly who he is all the time
and nobody pays him any attention.

It's a Jerry Bruckheimer show, think
Pirates of the Carib, Beverly Hills Cop,
Top Gun, CSI, Amazing Race, Black Hawk
Down, Con Air, Flash Dance, National
Treasure. Too many more to list. He's
so good at picking hit movies and shows
that he's in the top 10 richest in Hwood, he's
worth at least 1 billion.

At one point he's at a wedding and when
the priest crosses himself, Lucifer says
to him "Good luck with that". I guffawed
out loud. It's good that we've gotten
to the point that we can treat Xtionity
like all the other god myths, and make
movies and TV shows about them as
myths.

The character has been portrayed in comic books for almost three decades.

The comic book writer, Neil Garman (age 58), does a guest appearance in the final season #3 episode as God.


Tom Ellis was in a popular BBC supernatural miniseries called "The Fades" before he was cast in Lucifer

Nflix is smart to buy series that already
have a big fan base. The few million
viewers Lucifer had on Fox weren't
enough to keep it on Primetime,
but are more than enough to
satisfy Nflix. Plus all the people
who will join just to keep watching
the show.

I like what they're doing with the Xtion
devil in this show.

"It is Jesus who most often refers to Satan in the New Testament. He identified Satan as the “ruler of this world” (Jn 12:31), a murderer, a liar, and the father of lies (Jn 8:44). He also preached that a central aspect of the salvation He offered involved the destruction of Satan’s power in the world."

On the show, Lucifer tells us all the
time that he's not evil, he's not a
liar, in fact he cannot lie. He's not
evil, he's the punisher of evil, he's
doing what god assigned him to
do. People are the evil ones, the
devil is a good guy just doing his
job.

Most Xtions don't believe Satan is
real anyway, so what's the harm.

"59% of Americans reject the existence of Satan, with many respondents saying they believe the devil is merely a symbol of evil. The study stated: “Catholics are much more likely than Protestants to hold this view — 75% compared to 55% — although a majority of both groups concur that Satan is symbolic.”

I thought it got corny after a few episodes.

The black dude has cool super powers though. I liked how the devil was portrayed in Keanu Reeves movie "Constantine" better.

Have you noticed that an underlying theme in media now is depicting women empowerment?

You have to give a show like this
awhile to develop the characters.
I hated the first 3 eps of NCIS and
quit. Thought better of it and watched
season 2 and loved it for 12 seasons.

Women empowerment? No more than
usual. But I don't watch live TV, I have
no idea what's on in 2018.

EB’s attempts to start another new pissing contest with FrG are getting a little desperate and tacky.

Nope, have him permanently blocked,
no more talks. I got fed up with his
tactics.

I agree and knowing that he has given up already has given me strength to not get sucked in.

It is starting to remind me of Fallwell and Flynt. Flynt was an outspoken atheist yet according to Jerry Falwell the spoke almost every day. Flynt knew he needed guidance and Falwell gave it. Knew Flynt would not change but kept doing his best for the guy.
