For the most part Lucifer is a great show. Unfortunately there are times when it becomes unbearably, painfully silly. Thankfully this doesn't happen all that often, and it's usually related to Lucifer's (Tom Ellis) excesses.
The show gets a lot of mileage out of Lucifer trying to learn how to interact with humans - *after* he figures out that it's necessary if he's going to live on Earth. He's an arrogant, self-centered narcissist who lives only to party and get laid. But then he meets "Chloe" (Lauren German) and she turns his world upside down. She's an LAPD detective, btw. And a good one.
The rest is mostly Lucifer trying to understand what's happening to him since falling in love is a totally alien experience. And Chloe, who at first has no clue who he really is (she just thinks he's weird but likeable) also has to explore her growing affection for him.
And it's not just a romantic comedy. There are times when both main characters show the world just how bada$$ they can be. This is especially true of Lucifer. He is the Devil, after all. There are some rousing fight scenes scattered thru all 6 seasons. And eventually we do get to see Lucifer go full-on Satan with bat wings, horns, lizard skin, etc.
The casting, acting, and writing (except the silly parts) are excellent. Supporting cast is also excellent. The show is tons of fun. I'd say not for kids though. Lots of drugs, booze and some limited nudity. But definitely fun for adults. Enjoy!
