Lucifer (2016)
The Best Season Yet!
For the second time in as many years fans around the world fought to keep "Lucifer" on the air after Netflix announced the fifth season would be its last. That in spite of the show being the most binged show of 2019. Fans rejoiced when it was announced that the show would come back for a sixth and ultimately final season.
In the meantime, the fifth season has lived up and exceeded expectations. Tom Ellis not only comes back once again as the title character, Lucifer Morningstar, but also his identical twin, the archangel Michael. Already master of one character for five years, Ellis immediately takes this new one in the form of Michael and makes him his own person. Physical attributes would make one distinguishable from the other but Tom Ellis easily played both with distinction. Hopefully this will get him the award nominations he deserves.
The rest of the cast equally performed their roles supported by a surprise guest cameo or two, and the stunt sequences are the best ever performed on the show. If you are returning to watch this season for the very first time, you will not be disappointed.
Lucifer: A Priest Walks Into a Bar (2016)
The episode that officially introduced Tom Ellis to TV
This is the episode that will always go down as the
first time we see Lucifer question God's authority. I was raised in the church and taught that Jesus is the light, the Devil is bad, etc. etc., but anyone who watched this episode saw that Lucifer isn't all horns and evil but hurts emotionally just like a human. Even though he initially thought Father Frank was guilty, the priest's murder was the catalyst that we as viewers began to truly see the difference between this devil and the devil of the Bible. I felt the emotion Tom Ellis showed when he spoke with his Father off of his balcony anguishing over the fact that no matter how people live their lives, they are all expendable in His name. He basically made viewers believe that God did not care if people were sinners or saints. It was the first of many powerful episodes Tom Ellis has put out with this show.
