First, A Plot Summary…
The basic conceit of Lucifer, which was developed based on characters from Neil Gaiman’s work for the DC Comics universe, is that the actual devil is living the good life in Los Angeles and running a hip nightclub called Lux.
Oh, and then he ends up helping the LAPD solve murders!
That’s right…this show is like Law and Order, but with the devil himself as one of the investigators!
Unlike Law and Order, Lucifer possesses a high level of silliness, cheesiness, and an overwhelmingly playful sensibility! It’s not long before we learn that the devil is just a dapper, handsome, woefully misunderstood angel who’s looking for his own sense of purpose in this crazy world.
As the show progresses, viewers meet all kinds of amazing supporting characters. There are detectives, forensic specialists, an over-worked therapist, an angelic brother, surprise Biblical figures, and a demon bounty hunter.
And then there’s Detective Chloe Decker, Lucifer’s crime-solving partner. She’s the person he most desires.
