Thank you very much for your reaction for this Pilot episode of Lucifer, Dakara! I've only very recently come into this show myself when I saw it on Netflix and thought I would give it a shot. And I have to say that I was shocked by how quickly I become so drawn into this show and its characters, especially into Lucifer himself. So much so, that I wound up binge watching all four seasons so far of this series within only a few days. I have immediately fallen in love with Tom Ellis as Lucifer, as well as this show, so I am really excited that you are happy to watch it through your reactions as well. :) Now... Lucifer is played by Welsh actor, Tom Ellis and he's absolutely phenomenal in this role. I absolutely love just how charismatic and charming he is, as well as honest to a fault and naïve about human emotions. In some ways, he's much like a child in how he acts towards the humans because he struggles to understand them. And I believe a part of that is one of the reasons why one of his superpowers, or "gift from God" as he calls it, is the ability to draw out people's forbidden desires. In doing so, it allows Lucifer to learn what they want while he continues to interact with them so long as he remains on Earth. I also love how incredibly open he is with everyone, especially with Chloe about who he really is, and how he is never surprised or angry when no one ever believes him. Lucifer is bluntly honest to fault. However, Lucifer then meets Detective Chloe Decker, played by actress Lauren German, who I also really love in this show as well. And much to Lucifer's surprise, she's completely immune to his charms and he's absolutely fascinated by her, which I love. Because this new partnership established within this first episode is absolutely brilliant. And like you said, I love that Chloe is ice to Lucifer's fire. A perfect way to explain their partnership. Also... I really love their banter back and forth. They just have fantastic chemistry with one another. As for the rest of the established characters... I really love Chloe's daughter Trixie, and the dynamic established between her and Lucifer as well. She's sweet, funny, and just adorable. And I love how uncomfortable she makes Lucifer in the moment she hugs him in the end, since Lucifer is very uncomfortable around children. I think it's mostly because he's not used to being around them, since children never wind up in Hell after they die. And while Lucifer claims to hate children, he still helps Trixie at school when he deals with her bully for her. I love it! Amenadiel is an angel, and one of Lucifer's brothers. And needless to say... they don't get along. There are reasons why yet to be explained. But Amenadiel has been tasked by God to come down to convince his brother to return to Hell, and by this point, in spite of Lucifer having claimed to be on vacation, Lucifer has decided he has no intention of ever returning to Hell. And his brother is angry with him because Lucifer doesn't belong on Earth. And yes... his wings are amazing. :) Lucifer's bartender and protector is Maze, or Mazikeen. And she's a demon Lucifer brought to Earth with him. I love her fierceness and how devoted she is to protecting Lucifer. She has also established she's very promiscuous in her sexual life, and she's grown concerned that Lucifer is changing for the worst. And she doesn't like it. There's more to come for her character, like all other characters as well. Dan Espinoza is another detective who is one of Chloe's superiors, and he's also her ex husband and Trixie's father. Although, Chloe and Dan aren't divorced yet, just separated. From this episode, I don't really care for him much and it's pretty clear Lucifer doesn't like him much either. And Dan certainly doesn't like Lucifer either. And while Dan and Chloe aren't together any longer, they still have a civil, if not platonic relationship for the most part, which is nice. And then there's Dr. Linda Martin... the therapist Chloe and Lucifer come to see while on their case. However, by the end of this episode, Lucifer comes to realize he needs help to understand human behavior and more, so he comes back to Linda and establishes a deal with her. Her help and someone to talk to about his dilemmas that might arise, in exchange for sex. Lucifer is also known for making deals as is established when we meet Delilah... a woman who used to work for Lucifer at his nightclub, whom he accompanied her singing on the piano. And she's someone whom he made a deal with years earlier. Lucifer had gotten her into the music business and introduced her to the right people so she could become a rising star. In exchange for his help, she owes him a favor, which Lucifer cashes in when she comes back into his life. I also really love, love, love that this moment shows us that Lucifer isn't the all powerful evil monster that the world has believed him to be from the beginning of time, as Lucifer simply asks Delilah to pull her life back together. We see that he genuinely cares for this woman who has unfortunately become lost in life due to drugs and alcohol, and the wrong men who treat her badly. Sadly, Delilah is killed thanks to who we later learn to be her music producer, who had her killed for the royalties that would come in upon her death. I love seeing Lucifer work with Chloe to bring justice for Delilah and so he can punish the guilty. But more so, I deeply love how Lucifer feels guilty for setting her up with Jimmy, because it shows a much deeper side to his character that we wouldn't expect to see from the Devil. And I love how he doesn't fully understand why. Lucifer was cast out of Heaven and forced into Hell for his rebellion in Heaven, and then vilified so that everyone in the world would forever see him as the Devil, and as evil. And this is how Amenadiel sees him as well, as do all of his family, which is why Lucifer struggles so much with understanding human emotion and familial relationships. Its very sad really. But from this episode, you've already come to see that Lucifer isn't the Devil we've read about, or seen established in movies or other shows like in Supernatural. He's very misunderstood, and we learn that while he is selfish in a lot of ways, he does have good in him as well. And he only punishes people who are truly evil. I love this episode's overall storyline and seeing Lucifer become involved in Detective Decker's case that he strongly forced his way into so he could bring justice to Delilah. I love the character development, and the characters are really why this show is so good. You love to learn more about what makes them who they are, and you love the relationships established among them all. And lastly... LUX is the name of Lucifer's nightclub that he now owns and has since he decided to stay in Los Angeles permanently. LUX is Latin for the word, light... and is a reference to Lucifer which means Light-bringer. Overall... I love this show and I really, really enjoyed this Pilot episode very much, So, thank you once again for your reaction for it. I really had a lot of fun watching this episode again with you. And I'm so happy that you're excited for more to come!!! Until then, my friend... Be happy and stay healthy. :) Sincerely, Heidi
