Hell yeah, that's what I'm talking about. This season was much better than season 3. Netflix gave this show the saving that it needed, plus it treated it right. Sure, it was a short season, but it was short and great.
All of the great cast is back. Tom Ellis is wickedly wonderful as the devil, Lauren German is back as detective Chloe Decker who solves cases for the L.A.P.D along with Lucifer, D.B. Woodside is the Devil's brother – the angel Amenadiel, Lesley-Ann Brandt is Lucifer's loyal friend and demon – Mazikeen and all of the rest of the cast are back. There are also some new comers, mainly, Inbar Lavi as Eve. Yeah, that Eve. What an annoying character. I don't think it's the acting, I think the actress did a pretty job. Just the character was so annoying that I couldn't wait for her to be gone.
The plot of this season was much much more interesting than that of the previous season. I binged it in a week. I just didn't have time to write my review until now. In this season Lucifer actually has a personal character arc that affects him personality, all while he remains the charmingly devilish. Decker has her own personal struggle that she must handle. The events of the season 4 finale affected her greatly and now she must deal with the consequences and how that makes her feel. Aimee Garcia's Ella Lopez - Police Department's forensic scientist – has an interesting arc as this season she deals with a crisis of faith. It's doubly interesting when you consider her surrounding and that strange bonus episode of season 3 which mostly revolved around her. On top of it all, Lucifer has more than a few personal enemies that show up, each with a different goal. But all together creating a great season with a great story.
If you were looking for the more explicit R rated parts that Netflix and Tom Ellis promised us, you are probably going to be disappointed. It's not a PG13 show in my opinion, but we didn't see that much of Tom Ellis' abs as we were promised.
It was a really good season. It has character development, great plot, great exploring of the mythos of heaven and hell in the world of the show. It has funny moments, touching moments, surprising moments. And an ending which both demands another season as well as an ending that could have served as an ending to the entire show.
But I am super happy that we are getting a season 5 and I can't wait to see where the show will go next.
