Keep an eye out for Eric Gibson on Lucifer – Episode 205
Lucifer is a crime procedural with a wickedly bonkers twist. Satan has swapped hell for present day Los Angeles and a new career as an amateur sleuth. It’s CSI meets Paradise Lost, with a super-sized helping of jokey self-awareness.
Returning for a second season as the eponymous Lucifer Morningstar, Welsh-born former EastEnders actor Tom Ellis is a scenery-munching delight. He understands the show, adapted very loosely from a Neil Gaiman comic book, can work only by leaning in to the inherent absurdity of its premise. With an enthusiasm that is indeed devilish, Ellis waggles his eyebrows, delivers his lines with an almost-audible wink and nudge and generally carries on as if playing to the cheap-seats at a pantomime.
Lucifer’s grand conceit is that, far from the embodiment of evil, Satan is merely a misunderstood rebel fed up with presiding over hell and keen to try something more interesting.
Season 2 of The-Devil-leaves-Hell-for-L.A. series premiered on Monday, September 19th on FOX. Lucifer Morningstar (Tom Ellis) and his brother Amenadiel (DB Woodside) are plagued this season by their Mom Charlotte (Tricia Helfer), who has escaped Hell and after a couple of false starts finds a hot new body as her vessel.
