First, some words of appreciation. During COVID I stumbled upon this show. I had exhausted almost every crime drama in quarantine and thought “Fine. I’ll watch the weird DevilCop show.” I was surprised when I was instantly interested from the pilot, I binged it quickly, and it has been my fall back for ‘me’ time.…

That nod to The Good Place was so subtle and gave me a huge smile - which was already there because it came from the lips of Mr Said Out Bitch.

The most hilarious part of “STOP HAMMER TIME” wasn’t so much that Lucifer was punking Michael but that Archangel “Big Piece of Wood” happened to know the lyrics by heart. I can understand Lucifer, “Can’t Touch This” is truly satanic. But the holder of the last twig of The Tree of Life???

I just want to say how much I appreciate knowing that Heaven in Lucifer's universe has a forking profanity filter. 

I have to echo the total gut-punch that this episode turned out to be. After Naked and Afraid, I thought we were more or less done on the Dan character arc for the season; that the show went there was a total blind-side - and seeing the reactions of even Maze and Lucifer added a layer of emotion to it.

There’s twisting the knife and then there’s sending a kid in to do it. The hospital waiting room scene from when Trixie enters to the end was like having the knife removed, plunged back in to the hilt a half dozen times and THEN twisted. “Gutting” is an understatement.

I did love Maze going on the warpath though.

Chloe did jump the gun on quitting the police force, but it’s for a very good in-story reason: She’s burning the boats so she can’t retreat.  It’s her telling Lucifer “I’m all in with you on this.”

Definitely Ella.

“Who, when you look up to the sky, would you feel best about being in charge of the universe?”

Maybe all the Centaurs look like Dan.

Thank you. And that episode actually counts as canon — Lucifer even mentioned the case from that episode in “Daniel Espinoza: Naked And Afraid.”

Yeah, that’s what I was saying: People started to warm up to him in S2. And it was surprising and impressive considering how unlikable (corrupt and cowardly) he was in S1. I’ll discuss it more in a future review, but based on some season post-mortem interviews Kevin Alejandro has given, I am fascinated by the fact that…

Also, plenty of people have shot Luci before, and he’s only ever been mildly irritated (“You’ve ruined a perfectly good Burberry” “It’s a good thing the Detective isn’t here or you’d be cleaning my blood out of the carpet”).

Dan saying, “that’s a Tuesday” is another fourth wall break. If memory serves, Lucifer aired on Tuesdays on Fox. Buffy the Vampire Slayer did the same gag, “Dawn’s in trouble, must be Tuesday.”

I loved how incredibly specific Lucifer was when he told Dan how much he spent on the prank, $5,oo4, 157, and that it was worth every penny. I bet he even set up everything the Los X “bike” shop just so Dan had to ride that gold bicycle with the spare tire on the back.

“Because you fucking shot me, Daniel.”

Honestly, I was fooled all the way through, mainly because I was enjoying this episode so much. After that bloodbath I was thinking the God would come in with a Dues Ex Machina and fix everything somehow giving Dan some sort of lesson to learn. God pulling the prank might have worked too or in cahoots with Lucifer.

Lucifer was saved by Netflix after network cancelation, then renewed for a fifth and final season, then renewed for another season (so now the sixth will be its final season), because of just how popular it is. I’ve had plenty of my other coverage axed over the years, but I’m very happy that hasn’t been the case for…

With much of the cast owning their Kiwi accents, this show feels almost like an import

The writers of this site are being just as cowardly as Cena.
