Sympathy for the Devil

Lucifer

Season 6, 10 episodes

2021


I binged all of season six over a couple of days. Honestly, it was kind of lame. I don't expect Lucifer to be scary - it's more of a dramedy with demons - but there is the occasional gruesome death. I guess the drag queen who took a stiletto to the eye might qualify as gruesome but most of the final season was fraught with family drama.

Namely, a woman shows up claiming to be Lucifer's daughter, saying he abandoned her. He has no idea who she is and spends at least one episode tracking down attendees of a masked orgy he once participated in around the time this young lady was likely to be conceived. It doesn't pan out.

The rest of the season is kind of jumbled. Dan is dead and has become a roaming ghost that only the celestials can see. Chloe gets addicted to celestial power and starts picking fights with people. Ella has formulated a conspiracy theory about Luci and the gang, while dodging Dan's smitten friend - a nice guy named Carol. Maze & Eve get engaged and have started planning their wedding when Eve's ex, Adam shows up. The first man is a total self-absorbed troll, really impressed with that fact that he "named all the animals". That tracks.

I'm kind of sad that this is the last season but if this is the quality of material they're going to offer, so be it. At least I got to see Tom Ellis' ass. Again.
