I think part of what sells it is the fact that everyone is so incredulous. Yeah, sure buddy, you're the Devil.

Wait, why aren't you dead and why am I now insane?

It's pretty spot on for real life. Would you honestly believe someone if they said that to you? And even seeing them get shot up and be fine you would assume or check other stuff before ever believing he was the devil.

"Nah, that's not it. Just probably on steroids or something."

Yea gotta admit the whole shrugging off or trying to explain the crazy poo poo he does has to stop soon.

People getting caught up in him using his powers with people not 'catching on', are kinda missing how absolutely realistic that is. People believe what other people belive, and observations and facts are of very limited impact.

The joke about the number one factor in the advancement of science being funerals kinda points to people really not giving a poo poo if you've literally got documented repeatable proof collected to agreed upon standards. 'Hey guys what we think to be true is totally wrong' is suuuuuuuuper unpopular, and the devil plays that human nature like a fiddle.

Yea but at some point she's going to see enough poo poo that you'd have to be an idiot not to think he's the devil or some super power being. And it's Titering close to that line.

See the above, but Fox in particular has a long history of not giving a poo poo when it comes to this sort of thing, airing shows in near random order - even stuff with a certain degree of serialisation, developing character relationships, etc and then cancelling them - see for example the finder, and almost human.

I'd like to say I watch a lot of tv and have never seen this done or recognized it. When they do it is it done in a way that isn't noticeable to the average viewer unless you know the original order?

That must be it then. I guess I don't watch too many fox shows these days. Tend to stick to cable TV and a few network shows on cbs and nbc.

I don't know if this comes across to American audiences but Lucifer comes off as incredibly camp to me as a Brit. It seems weird he is going after all these women when he's being played as a stereotypically gay character. It was kinda touched on with the shot of a man in Lucifers bed after a 3-some but I think it would have been cooler if he picked up men and women in equal amounts. He is the devil after all, his preference for debauchery shouldn't be constricted by sexuality.

America isn't too into being equal gay and equal straight in the same go. America can't handle bisexuals. You're either one way or the other. The shot of him in bed with another dude and girl was just a play on Devils threesome. And the fact the devil probably would like all forms and genders of sex. But I highly doubt we see him picking up on guys because then it would become a drama about a gay guy to America's perception.

Anyone calling themselves "Lucifer Morningstar" in the real world has.

Or your the child of a celebrity. They love to name their kids stupid poo poo like Jason Lee naming his kid Pilot Inspektor.

Lucifers quips are the best and I don't think I'll ever tire of them. This is an entertaining show that I have never enjoyably laughed so much at a drama. Any goon looking for some breaking bad type drama should probably leave now.

The gay security guard was hilarious. Especially when he showed up to escort em out and just shrugged like "Sorry man".

I'm thinking the detective lady (god I am horrible with names on this show) is a nephilim.

She's talked about her mom, but I don't think she's mentioned her dad. It makes sense that another angel (or part) could injure one.

Plus, according to the previews, it looks like she's the only one causing him pain.
That would be awesome and make some sense. Is there anything like that in the books?

I can tell you the woman who plays Chloe Decker bares a striking resemblance to Milla Jovovich.

The therapist is my favourite character right now. On one hand, she's not plot-immune to Lucifer's charms, and on the other, she can still get to him. I wish someone like she were the female lead, not the detective.

I find her to be an idiot. Unless it's common practice for therapists to tell other therapists about their patients.

no way. Headey plays a far more sinister looking evil woman. Helfer is too hot to take her serious as an evil person like the character Cercie.

Some amazing one liners in that episode. Great episode.

Best part of this show. And the girls night thing was great!

How crazy would it be if Chloe went to hell? That other guy was in hell while he was in a coma. Chloe could end up in hell and be like "oh holy poo poo" and then whoever is there now is like "you should have seen it when Lucifer was here, but he's off loving around on Earth so..." and it just blows her mind.

She'd just wake up. "teeheehee what a weird dream"

Oh I forgot that.

I still wouldn't mind it being the case that people in coma's can be in hell, though. I mean, maybe Chloe will be "brain dead" because God sent her to hell, and the she'll get sent back into her body right before they decide to pull the plug.

What's it like for people in coma when they come back? Do they say how they experienced it? Was it like a dream for them or super quick? Or just nothingness?

Ever been knocked unconscious?

No but I had a short seizure(10-20 seconds i think) when the nurse hosed up putting the needle on the top of my hand before a surgery. I started to get a sharp pain in my stomach put my head back and I instantly felt like I was sleeping almost and woke up super sweaty and a nurse saying my name.
