JASMINE's THOUGHTS on Lucifer Season 2, Part 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*

OMG!! These characters definitely does not run out of their dysfunctional family antics to say the least. This second half of Season Two dives heavily into the "goddess'" adjustment into human life and her dire need to return to heaven. Of course, two of her children, namely Lucifer and Amenadiel, are charged in watching over her...and, to keep her out of trouble. However, trouble seems to just find them...all...haha!!! 

The cast is hilarious! Their chemistry works! They each deal with their individual conflicts. Lucifer has come a long way since Season One. He's becoming more human every "day" he is on Earth. Everyone around him has a lot to do with that, too. Love it! Yup! Even Maze has gotten attached to these humans...lol! Oh my! How humanity affects these supernatural beings!!! One has got to keep watching to see how much these characters have evolved/grown since the start!

Whoa! Didn't see that coming....the Season finale, that is!!! LOL! Wow! Great!! Now, we have to wait til next Fall to find out what that finale means...especially for Lucifer.  Say what...!?!

*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!

JASMINE's THOUGHTS on Lucifer Season 1 Episode 11 - "St. Lucifer"

About the Show

Lucifer is the story of the original fallen angel. Bored and unhappy as the Lord of Hell, Lucifer Morningstar has resigned his throne and retired to the City of Angels, where he owns an upscale piano bar called Lux. When a beautiful pop star is murdered, for the first time in roughly 10 billion years, he feels something awaken deep within him. Is he actually capable of feelings for a human being? The very thought disturbs him. The murder attracts the attention of LAPD homicide detective Chloe Decker, who finds herself both repulsed and fascinated by Lucifer. At the same time, God's emissary, the angel Amenadiel, has been sent to Los Angeles to convince Lucifer to return to Hell. But with the City of Angels at his feet and a newfound purpose, Lucifer's having too much fun to go back now.

Episode Synopsis:

When philanthropist Tim Dunlear is found dead, Lucifer explores his good side by becoming a benefactor for Tim's glitzy Los Angeles charity.

~~~~~

*My Thoughts*

Well, this episode opens with Chloe in Lucifer's bed...ahahaha! Yup! After showing up at his place drunk and passing out in the previous episode, the assumption would be that they did the "nasty." Right!?! Well, hate to disappoint, they didn't...that's hilarious! Just love Lucifer and Chloe's banter. Those two has great chemistry! Lucifer said "no" to Chloe!?! Wow!

In this episode, he's trying on that "good guy" suit by being good and charitable!?! Hmmm... Let's see how that goes....haha! As Lucifer explores that possibility, a murder of a philanthropist gets Lucifer on a roll on being "St. Lucifer." As in all the previous episodes, Lucifer explores another aspect of himself...this time he's exploring doing good and how it feels.

On the other side of things, Amenadiel is waiting on Malcolm to do his "job." He will pretty much do what needs to be done to get Lucifer back to Hell...which includes working with a beautiful demon. However, it seems that Amenadiel is getting bored waiting. Looks like Maze is feeling lonely since Lucifer remains angry with her. Where does she go for company!?! She goes to Lucifer's brother...Amenadiel. Huh! And boy, they definitely kept each other company. Even angels are vulnerable to temptation...haha! And...Oh my! Amendiel and Maze!?!

Not only that, Dan figures out what Malcolm is up to. All tied up, Dan has to figure out how to stop him from killing Lucifer. Very clever Dan...kicking Malcolm's food out of his hands. Looks like Dan is putting things together while Malcolm talks. Yeah, Malcolm talks too much, especially telling Dan about what happened to him. However, Malcolm does not complete his task, especially when Lucifer bribes him out of it.

Interesting to find a twist regarding Lucifer's immortality. We have already seen how he has become vulnerable in connection with his curiosity with human behavior and life in Los Angeles. Of course, the issue comes up again after he gets shot by their murder suspect. In the end, the murder of Tim Dunlear gets solved!

Moreover, Lucifer tests a theory regarding his immortality. It seems that he is vulnerable when it comes to Chloe. Lucifer is realizing many things in this episode... one, he's giving Maze another chance and, two, he's vulnerable when Chloe is around. Huh...she makes him "all too human." She makes him vulnerable.

Until the next episode!

Episode Synopsis:

Lucifer and Chloe are tasked with solving the murder of a prominent restauranteur. When they meet his son, they suspect he played a part in the death.

~~~~~

*My Thoughts*

Lucifer continues to aid Chloe on cases, this time, this murder case seems to hit close to home. The murder of a prominent restauranteur has gotten Lucifer worked up, especially when the son is considered a suspect. As the investigation begins, Chloe's mother is in town. Well, it looks like parent and child relations...and all the issues that come with it...are the common theme in this episode.

These strained relationships with the parentals also affects the people around them, especially Trixie. However, she takes it in stride for a child. Funny how Trixie seeks out Lucifer when situations get tense between her mother and grandmother. Trixie is very preceptive! Even the relationship between Chloe and Dan is already strained...and Lucifer's meddling isn't helping. And...I was hoping Dan and Chloe would reconcile. Maybe it may happen, but it looks like there will be a lot of obstacles in their way.

On the other side, Maze is seeking help from Dr. Martin!?! Interesting... Looks like this demon is also vulnerable to human emotions and vulnerabilities. Wow...the longer these supernatural beings stay on Earth, the more they become susceptible to human feelings!

Will Amenadiel's plan to murder Lucifer go off as planned!?! Hmmm...looks like Dan wants to kill Lucifer himself...haha! Amenadiel seems to be desperate in sending Lucifer back to Hell since he has recruited Malcolm.

In the end, the case is solved and they come to some realizations in regards to their relationships with their parents. Despite Lucifer and Chloe's resentments towards their parents, they are more like them whether like it or not...haha!

What!!! Chloe is drunk! She went to Lucifer's place! This is not good...haha! Or is it!?! LOL!

Until the next episode!

Episode Synopsis:

When a therapist is murdered, Lucifer and Chloe enlist the help of Dr. Linda to look into possible suspects.

~~~~~

*My Thoughts*

Lucifer is on the case with Chloe...this time a therapist is murdered. This case, in turn, enlists the help from Lucifer's therapist, Dr. Linda! Of course, with Lucifer, he's hoping to use Dr. Linda's helps to his advantage, especially since Lucifer is working on understanding human emotions...now that he has become vulnerable to it. Well, plus, Lucifer is very fascinated with Chloe, and he wants to know why.

This episode seems to explore a very human behavior, jealousy, that Lucifer thinks he is feeling about Chloe. Hmmm...he is feeling something. And that is something that is in conflict of who he is. Seems that he has embraced therapy in an odd way...haha! Funny how Lucifer tries to deflect his therapy session to be about other people, not him...haha! And, of course, Dr. Linda has to get Lucifer to focus on his he issues...hmmm! He is such the devil...lol! Dr. Linda also tends to reveal a lot about Lucifer's own internal conflicts in which he seems to deny.

On the other subplot, there seems to be a twist with this Palmetto case that Chloe is still investigating. Plus, Chloe and Dan seems to be spending a lot of time together. Is there a possible reconciliation between the two? However, there is a secret Dan is keeping...and someone knows. This whole "dirty cop" plot just keeps getting more intriguing. How will it play out since Dan is trying to make it work with Chloe. Or is it a ploy to get her to stop investigating that Palmetto case. Hmmm...However, Chloe is definitely not deterred from continuing this investigation. Then the "suicide" of a copy!?! Hmmm... Chloe is just going to "dig her nails in" even more so now.

Again, another episode in which Lucifer explores human emotions, in turn, he tries to figure out what he is feeling...or not feeling. Plus, another secret was revealed in regards to Amenadiel and Maze. Well, the Devil definitely came out when it came to betrayal...That hasn't changed. Hmmm...What is Maze to do...now that Lucifer found out! How about Amenadiel!?! Lucifer is having waaay too much fun in Los Angeles. Going back to Hell doesn't look like it will happen anytime soon.

Until the next episode!

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!
