Everyone's favorite horny devil is back on May 8th. After an unexpected and merciless execution at the hands of Archvillain Fox; Lucifer was cancelled at the end of season 3, despite ending on a huge cliffhanger. Luckily; after a tremendous outpouring of grief the world over, the show was saved by Netflix. While the showrunners have said there won't be too many changes to the show we love now that it's on Netflix; we can expect more adult content (read: Nudity) and more compact 10 episode seasons, which will hopefully improve the show even further than Tom Ellis' handsome arsecheeks. The season will drop in 2 five episode batches, separated by a 'Mid Season Break'.

I love this show. I think Netflix is the best thing that could possibly have happened to it. You just know that Fox was holding it back. I can't wait to see what they do now that they don't need to have one hand tied behind their backs.

Also it's great that I'll be able to binge 5 episodes in one sitting. It feels very Lucifer. Like a giant orgy of television excess.

Started watching it a few weeks ago and just finished season 3 last night. So glad it's continuing ! Haven't been hooked like this to a TV show in a long time.

I must say I kind of wish they kept the more darker psychological aspects the first episodes of season 1 had, where Decker was becoming disturbed with what she was seeing (of Lucifer's powers) but couldn't explain them. But I guess that wasn't the tone and direction they were aiming for with the show.

Regardless of what the show runners have said in the past; I’m quite confident that fox played a role in making sure the show didn’t stray too far from ‘procedural + twist’

I’m excited for the new season because the move to both Netflix and short seasons has the potential to be a huge leap forward for the show.

And with that amazing announcement, I'm going to sleep. Let's try to keep the new thread spoiler free for a bit. Haven't decided if I'm gonna marathon or if I'm gonna take my time on the show. It's a long, long wait to season 5.

I’m probably going to binge it. I would assume the general Netflix show thread rules apply. All episode specific commentary should be spoiler tagged; with a reference as to which episodes you’re spoilering.

Even though this is now a Netflix original, they’re editing it like it’s on fox still. Is it being broadcast outside the US on some other channel?e

Edit: okay this maze scene in episode 3 is simply amazing

Not as far as I know. I think the show runners said they aren’t going to mess with the format too much, at least at first. Going to start watching in about half an hour. I’ll be very interested to see how the production values have changed.

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?
Less than you'd think from what I can tell. Then again I don't know how to ascertain that unless it's ridiculously obvious. Maybe it's a case of all the small things adding up?

It's pretty fun still.

Bits and pieces give it away. The (episode 1 minor spoiler) action scene at the start of episode 1 is more brutal and visceral than anything I recall this show doing before also the nudity of course. I kinda get the impression that they have more money - I don't know if it's just a placebo effect but the look of the show feels more expensive somehow. And i noticed they have the budget to show Amenadiel flying in and landing, rather than what they always did before with angels, where they would appear and disappear off camera.

Also I had read that the season would be released in 2 blocks of 5 episodes but we seem to have all ten.

I'm one episode in and it's amazing so far. They've kept the rough show template but have kinda slightly pushed the envelope a bit. Not spoiling anything, cause drat it's fun seeing how they've handled it.

Looking like the season is gonna be a good one.

The cinematography has changed a little too; a lot more contrast heavy and heavier blacks.

Starting on the 3rd episode and I like how they decided to have Decker react with Lucifer's reveal now.

She went to Vatican and a investigator priest wants to perform a exorcism on him. Seems like she half way believe he might be the devil due to now witnessing even more non-human feats but still conflicted.

Dunno if this is a game changer for anyone, but I love that it's available in 4k. Normally I hate using the streaming on my tv instead of my browser but I make the effort when it's 4k related.

It's subtle, but the show just looks richer. And you get an extra 5-6 mins per episode.

Just finished and I loved it. The show being condensed down to 10 episodes with no filler makes it so much better. Imagine that! Netflix did a great job. I think they added enough to what they could allow since now they are no longer on network but not to go to far and to crazy.

Episode10 Bit surprised Lucifer decided to return back to hell. Hopefully this means season 4 has a good chunk of time in hell. Love to see their interruption

These 10 episodes are immensely better paced then season 2 and 3.

Not enough Trixie though.

I straight up gave up on S3 since it just kept spinning its wheels, but I'm back on for S4, and it's been pretty rad so far (3 eps in). I think the smaller season at Netflix really helped them tighten things up.

Finished up the season today, and gotta say, it's pretty awesome. Only thing I didn't quite get was the ending.

Haven't they already brought up the idea that hell has some kinda time dilation effect, where time passes incredibly fast there compared to here? If they did, then Lucifer could be gone for like a year his time and still show back up to visit Chloe in a week our time or however long it is.

Only other things that kinda bugged me this season were Chloe freaking the gently caress out over Lucifer, and then believing he's the source of all evil, but NEVER TALKING TO THE LITERAL ANGEL SHE KNOWS ABOUT ANY OF THIS. She just grabbed her kid, headed to Rome and listened to some random dude tell her how to kill a guy/send him to hell. Weird

Also, it kinda bugged me that demons can kill people, but angels can't. That seems kinda, contradictory in a weird way. Like demons having more freedom than angels do. I can't recall em mentioning it before, and I guess Lucifer could have just straight up told Maze not to kill anyone when they got surface side.

Loved Inbar Lavi. She did a great job on this.

All in all, loved it, and hope we get a season 5 soon.
