Despite our initial misgivings — did we really need another police procedural?—Lucifer advance us over tight . In fact , after just two episode , we were ready to declare it the best supernatural detective show we ’d ever seen . Now , with the finale airing tonight , we ’re just as excited about the show as ever . Here ’s why .

The main characters
The mould is ridiculously everlasting - looking , but the doer are also capable of convey deepness when need . Lucifer ’s whole schtick is that he ’s choose Los Angeles over hell because the pits is boring and miss anything resemble a undecomposed clip , but he ’s not as superficial as he seems . All that jokey , self - revolve around behavior — making just about every vitrine about himself — mouth to Lucifer ’s intense personal - identity struggles : who is the Devil , if he ’s not running hellhole ? Not to mention the cat has some serious Daddy issues .
The other master character , Chloe , is also kind of a jam . ( We know this by her preferred hairstyle , which is a half - tucked “ I do n’t have time for this tinker’s dam ” ponytail . ) She ’s separate from her daughter ’s father , a situation that ’s further complicate by the fact that they ferment together and because she still has impression for him . But for all her personal drama , Chloe is deeply serious about her police piece of work . She ’s also the consultation alternate when Lucifer does something infuriate , which is often . This is an component the show really take — without someone like Chloe to point out when he ’s being an bastard , Lucifer would be insufferable ( and so would Lucifer ) .
Even the supporting persona act in unexpected ways . Amenadiel the angel has pull some majorly unsportsmanlike poop prove to get Lucifer back to hell , including convey a crooked cop back from the dead to shoot him . And Maze the demon , for all her sexy badassery , has grappled with her loyalty to Lucifer throughout the serial publication . Less riveting , but luckily not the cliche he could ’ve been , is Chloe ’s ex , Dan ; though he ’s bear witness capable of shroud some terrible secret , he ’s also really attempt to do the right thing for his kinfolk .
The weakest link is probably Dr. Linda Martin . This is n’t the shift of actor Rachael Harris , who is great , but her role as Satan ’s humans - hungry therapist basically confine her to the same room every episode , and only gives her on - the - nose , therapy - speak to mold with . At least the profoundly icky , Lucifer - sleeps - with - his - doctor - as - payment thing was done away with mid - season .
The cases
The cases are totally silly — a shoe designer with a best-loved slob render to redact a challenger from his street - fine art mobster years ! Lucifer crash a seminar for sexist pick - up artists ! Lucifer is personally insulted when he encounters a cheesy group of “ Satan worshippers”!—but they fit the show ’s balance of lightness and darkness . Silly as the circumstances might be , these are homicide cases , and the show took that earnestly ( though , often , the grieving spouse left behind was by and by unmasked as the perpetrator ) . But no single execution really became the focus of any one episode ; Lucifer is more concerned with the meta - story that surrounded each event . For case , a beat surety guard take to the discovery that Lucifer ’s treasured wings had been slip , which run to the revelation that Amenadiel had stolen them , which leave to Lucifer burn them as a luxurious fuck - you gesture .
The mystery
Of course , he has more to worry pressing concerns to concern about on tonight ’s finale , having been framed for murder last week . Will Lucifer be able to use his appeal to get out of this plight , or will there be a divine intervention ? And how will they determine up season two ? We ’ll be watching .
