Lucifer: The Complete Second Season

“In Season Two, Lucifer Morningstar and LAPD Detective Chloe Decker are back solving murders on L.A.’s white-hot streets, with their relationship growing deeper, closer and more awkward for them both. To add fuel to the fire, Lucifer’s mum, Charlotte, escapes Hell, bringing along a ton of emotional baggage. Now Lucifer and his angel brother Amenadiel – with whom Lucifer has serious sibling issues – must work together to deal with mommy dearest. Meanwhile, Dr. Linda, therapist and confidante to Lucifer, Amenadiel and Maze, is having a devil of a time doling out some of the most bizarre advice ever. Tensions (including the sexual kind) are sizzling in all 18 frighteningly fun, frivolous adventures. Welcome to Devil time!”

I was very intrigued when I saw the trailers for this show when the first season rolled around. But, I’ll be honest, after the first episode, I quit watching. There were some very interesting concepts the show was trying to do, almost like CSI with a supernatural element to it. Because it is a bit different, that usually spells certain doom for television shows. Surely, I thought, this is going to get canceled midway through the first season. But here we are, season two completed and another on the way. I for one am happy to be proven wrong when it comes to a television show that finds its legs, because that is hard to do these days.

Fans of the series won’t need the recap that I did when picking up this set, but the stakes are higher, the twisted family dynamic between Lucifer and his mother is hilarious, all the while giving us some intriguing mysteries to solve. After viewing this set, I went back and watched several episodes from the first season, and I must say that the show has definitely improved the second time around. I can’t wait to see what’s in store for the third season. Pick up this set and get ready for the next chapter!
