JASMINE's THOUGHTS on Lucifer Season 2

*About the Show*

L.A. is hotter than ever...

Based upon the characters created by Neil Gaiman, Sam Kieth and Mike Dringenberg for Vertigo, from DC Entertainment, Lucifer is the story of the original fallen angel. Bored and unhappy as the Lord of Hell, Lucifer Morningstar (Tom Ellis) abandoned his throne and retired to Los Angeles, where he has teamed up with LAPD detective Chloe Decker (Lauren German) to take down criminals.

Charming, charismatic and devilishly handsome, Lucifer has a way of manipulating people into confessing their deepest, darkest secrets, which helps Chloe deliver justice. But Lucifer quickly discovered that Chloe makes him vulnerable. When he's around her, the devil can bleed like anyone else. It's a truly scary realization that doesn't sit well with his best friend, Mazikeen aka Maze (Lesley-Ann Brandt), a fierce demon in the form of a beautiful young woman. Maze wants nothing more than to leave Los Angeles and get back to her life in Hell, but Lucifer is having one helluva good time with the mortals, and she is not about to leave him behind.

At the end of Season One, Chloe watched Lucifer die, only to come back to life, causing more confusion over who he really is. Meanwhile, her estranged husband, Dan (Kevin Alejandro), who is also an LAPD detective, came clean about his involvement in a corrupt case - jeopardizing not only his job, but also their relationship.

In Season Two, Lucifer and his brother, Amenadiel (DB Woodside), who have been sparring over Lucifer's resistance to returning to the underworld, will now be brought back together for one common goal - to find their mother, Charlotte (Tricia Helfer, Battlestar Galactica), who escaped Hell. After all, Lucifer doesn't take after his dad, so the parent he does resemble is sure to be quite terrifying. Lucifer's work with the LAPD also is upended when the police force hires Ella Lopez (Aimee Garcia, The George Lopez Show), a smart, tough forensic scientist whose mutual belief in both faith and science proves a point of interest to Lucifer.

With mom on the loose, Dr. Linda Martin (Rachael Harris), who has become not only a therapist, but also a confidante to Lucifer, will surely have a lot of advice to dole out. And, by the time she's done with them, she may need a therapist of her own.

*My Thoughts*

What a second season! Oh, the fun and adventure continues for Lucifer and Chloe! Now, their adventures include mother dearest...the goddess of creation! Lucifer definitely has a lot on his plate...haha! Doc Martin knows the truth...and she has a lot to "wrap" her head around everything that has been revealed to her. Character development continues...and it keeps getting interesting. The humor continues to balance out the drama. Tricia Helfer is a great addition to the cast. Love her character! Stuck in Los Angeles with humans, Mother God has to adjust to living life on Earth. All the while, we can see where Lucifer gets his funny wit and personality traits from. Amenadiel, on the other hand, is feeling the crushing truth of the consequences of his actions. He, too, must adjust to becoming mortal. Maze is struggling to figure out who and what she is in this life on Earth.

Lots of character development for all of these characters. Truths are revealed...and Lucifer and Chloe's relationship is moving along. However, there are a few obstacles that they have to overcome in order to figure out what this relationship is between the two. Completely how they interact with each other and how the cast fit their characters. Funny how Dan and Lucifer have to work together, despite how they feel about each other...haha! But, both their "love" for Chloe is what keeps them at a compromise.

All in all, this season was filled with Lucifer's humor and antics, as well as solving crime.  Every character has established their own identities as to who they are and what they want. We even got introduced to another angel! Yup! We definitely got a taste of some "divine intervention;" however, it doesn't mean it was all good. Anyways, a little bit of Heaven and Hell definitely adds to the whole theme of Lucifer being the first fallen angel and the Lord of Hell. Well, next season will be very interesting as we learn more about the "miracle" that Chloe was revealed to be. What is her "part" in God's plan. Will we meet Him in this coming next season!

Yup! That's right! Lucifer has been renewed for a third season! Yes!

Episode Synopsis:

Lucifer bails on Chloe when he becomes bored with her investigation into a ruthless biker gang murder. Lucifer realizes that something very personal to him was stolen. 

~~~~~

*My Thoughts*

It's personal now! Lucifer's wings are in someone else's hands. The search is on. All the while, Detective Decker has her own demons to deal with. Both ask each other for help with their search to solve their "cases." This episode is somewhat bittersweet since both learn a few truths about themselves.

Funny how Lucifer seeks help from Amenadiel. Huh... Amenadiel is picking up some human traits, the more time he spends with humans. Interesting... So, Amenadiel is vulnerable to temptation...as well. Hmmm...

Even thought Lucifer and Amenadiel are at odds with each other, it seems that miracles still do happen. It is good to see Chloe and Dan trying to make things work. They haven't given up. Lucifer has finally let go of a part of himself that he has been internally in conflict with. Choe and Lucifer's friendship is growing. However, despite Maze's loyalty to Lucifer, she feels the loss of Lucifer's wings. She also holds some resentment towards Chloe for keeping Lucifer from returning to Hell.

Looks like they all will have a lot to adjust to since Lucifer recovered his wings, learned who was behind it all...then destroyed his wings.

Well, guess the adventures are really going to start, now that Lucifer has let go of what was holding him back...? Amenadiel has a lot of work ahead of him if he is to get Lucifer to go back to Hell....without wings. I got somewhat teary eyed at that moment, when Lucifer set fire to his wings. I even felt for Maze...even though she is a demon, after all. She does have feelings...for a demon...haha!

Until the next episode!

For now, here's a preview of Episode 8 - "Et Tu, Doctor?"

Episode Synopsis:

When a movie star's son is killed after being chased by the paparazzi, Chloe takes a deep look into the case with a little help from Lucifer.

*My Thoughts*

Into the second episode, it is apparent Lucifer is changing...for the good?!? Hmmm... maybe not. But, for sure, he's enjoying his time in Los Angeles, especially when he's solving crime(s) with Detective Chloe Decker. However, this case somewhat hits close to Chloe's heart, even though she's supposed to be on medical leave. It doesn't stop her from going to the crime scene. It's Los Angeles! This case involves the paparazzi, and Chloe is determined to find the truth. Even more so, she is intent on figuring out who Lucifer is...haha! The craziest thing is that Lucifer is fascinated with solving crime/finding justice, and he's enjoying himself with it. However, there are those that are not happy that the Devil is not in Hell... Yes, both Heaven and Hell are not happy that Lucifer has left Hell unattended.

We do, however, get more of a background on Chloe Decker, especially on why this case seems to be so important to her. Even Lucifer is curious to know why as well. Interesting to find Lucifer seeking therapy with Dr. Kim Martin...haha! Even the Devil seems to have "issues" he has to deal with. The more Lucifer spends with humans (in Los Angeles), his fascination with humanity increases. However, fascination of his conflicts with who he is. Even Maze has pointed that out to him...hahaha!

Lucifer is beginning show human traits unbecoming of the Devil. It is hilarious at Lucifer uses his charm and wit to help others, especially Chloe. He is captivated with Detective Chloe, especially, since she seems to be immune to his charms.

Let's see where this takes Lucifer.
