Definitely better than I expected from the terrible reviews. I'm on board for at least a few more.

ZZZorcerer posted:While I didn't expect they would be faithful to the comics I wish they hadn't made it yet another police procedural. I'd rather have "Lucifer is bored, got out of hell and now has a bar, to pass the time he meddles in the life of his costumers and other humans around him". So they could have self contained episodes with some metaplot in between (just like police procedurals) and the liberty to focus on different stuff instead of just helping solve crimes. If that were the show, I guarantee the general response would be "Why don't they make the super-charismatic Lucifer character the focal point of the show instead of these less-interesting regular people?' I liked the pilot, and the second episode continued pretty much all the things I liked. Definitely going to keep watching.

CeeJee posted:Maybe the fun will wear off quickly but Lucifer being smug and just playing with people is enough to keep me interested. Seeing Lesley-Ann Brandt, the good Naevia from Spartacus, is a plus too. That's why I recognize her!

counterfeitsaint posted:Does anyone know of a time ever in the history of television when this stupid bullshit has worked, and network meddling in broadcast order has improved or saved a show? Like even once? Not Fox, but Happy Endings had a bunch of later-season episodes frontloaded after the pilot. The feeling was that they were funnier and a better representative of what the show could be (which was correct). It led to some weird plot stuff later, but that's less of an issue with a sitcom I suppose. Show made it 3 seasons.

Interesting that while Lucifer's charm powers don't work on Chloe, Amenadiel's seemingly do. Kind of undermines any theory that she's part angel or whatever.

Snak posted:Well it seems like they are doing the The Lord Works in Mysterious Ways even from the angelic perspective thing. I certainly don't get the impression that God has given any of them direct instruction in quite some time. It was obviously a joke, but Amenadiel did say "Why don't I go ask Father for some rain, to make it a moment" when Chloe stormed off at the auction, so the implication is that God is still around and reachable. I think it's probably just that Amenadiel hates his new job and God told him to either do it or get Lucifer back to do it instead.

Tiggum posted:I don't think that was powers, she just thought he was charming. Maybe, just seemed like the same way they present people like the therapist reacting to Lucifer's charm. And Chloe's not exactly a huge flirt, liable to instantly gush over a handsome stranger.

This is very good news. I don't know if I should be surprised by it, since I haven't been following the ratings at all, but I am, and it's good.

The first season of Murder in the First on TNT had just one case that took up the whole season, from investigation to trial and a little after. The second season largely abandoned that structure, but still only focused on two or three investigations.

Titan posted:The one thing I don't understand is why he doesn't reveal to Chloe that he is really Lucifer via his eye shift. Everybody he does that to runs screaming, and sometimes they're also driven insane by it. He wants her to believe him, but he honestly doesn't seem all that bothered by her skepticism, and I doubt it's worth the risk of driving her away for good. Remember, the one time she caught a glimpse of his devil eyes in a reflection she immediately pulled her gun on him and looked terrified.

My only disappointment was that Chloe was completely unaffected by seeing Lucifer up and about immediately after being "fatally" gutshot.

grack posted:Not really true? In this show, at least, the angels seem to all be strong/fast/tough and have one unique power. Lucifer can find someone's deepest desires, Amenadiel can slow time, Uriel can Well Amenadiel also used to be able to teleport and stuff, right? Lucifer prayed to him that one time so he'd appear and stop the bullet and he showed up out of nowhere. That seems like the primary ability granted by wings.

He probably thought it would pigeonhole him and make it harder for him to get high-profile work after the show. Good thing he dodged that bullet!

I mean, it's kind of crazy how Lucifer's next move after the face reveal fails isn't to call Linda and Amenadiel and have them confirm his story to Chloe. Right now Chloe pretty much just thinks he's created some elaborate lie to shield himself from reality or something, but if two other people including a psychiatrist sit her down and tell her "Yeah, he's Lucifer, that Lucifer, it's just that you kind of nerf his powers somehow" I think she'd have to believe them.

I find it weird how they've seemingly completely dropped the Lucifer/Chloe stuff. Like, at the end of last season before he got knocked on the head weren't they just a step removed from starting something serious? Since he tried to show her his face there's not even a hint of anything between them, and now they're setting up the Chloe/Cardboard Policeman romance plot. I'm not totally in love with the whole romance subplot, but dropping it so casually feels like it kind of short-circuited both of their character development.
