Well, this show took what I assume is a much needed break
after they stumbled out the gate with the first episode of the new season. Not
sure if it was because they actually needed it, but I certainly did. Honestly,
there are a couple things about this show that I do like but every time I start
to get invested, the show does something that I dislike. Here’s the thing,
there are dozens of cop procedural shows on television right now and there are
so many that do very little to distinguish themselves. However, due to decent
show runners, these shows are able to thrive. There’s clearly an audience for
these types of shows. So when a new cop procedural like Lucifer comes along
with a new twist that should distinguish it apart from all the others, it
shouldn’t be too hard to attract an audience and have one hell of a hit.
However, this show just seems to be doing the bare minimum and even as far as cop
procedurals go, it doesn’t find itself anywhere near the top. However, this is
just the beginning of the season, it could still be finding its stride. Could
the show raise its game this episode? Let’s find out.
