You will find a whole mess of issues and inconsistencies with scenes in the first 3 seasons, because principle photography was shot in Vancouver. So they would use second unit shooting in LA or photo backdrops, etc. But also you will notice that scenes outdoors, have tight shots in high rise downtown areas so you don't see the horizon - and most of these are cloudy and overcast as it almost always is in Vancouver. Also daylight shots outside have a tight depth of field, so the background is blurry, so you don't see the vegetation is not right for LA. Or the night scenes, such as with the slime ball Malcolm just now, the streets are way too clean and compact to be downtown LA.... Spending thousands of hours on sets, making Toronto look like New York, or Chicago, or Atlanta - I could nit pick hundreds of details which give this away - but relax and enjoy it. Also these visual tricks are meant for a bigger screen. You will not notice them watching on a big screen TV - because your eyes have a VERY small range of "high def" detail in the center of vision - but watch on a small screen and your eye's small region of high detail covers the whole screen! The biggest background sleight of hand is when the scene is on Lucifer's penthouse balcony, looking out. These are photographic backdrops, or rear projection screens, not green screen. But they are obvious trickery. All these visual tricks as I said are way less noticeable on a big screen as they are designed for. TV series, which this was on network (FOX) for seasons 1-3 have very low budgets and cannot afford greenscreen for stuff that is easily done far more cheaply and simply. After season 3 production moved to LA and budgets went up so you'll find way less to nitpick over, and the story gets better as you go, though it is pretty darn good now!

Another thoughtful reaction. I do enjoy listening to your ideas and comments. We do find out a little more about Malcolm and Dan and yes, this plot line is very intriguing! The next episode (A Priest walks into a Bar) is a particular fan favourite and the actors especially Tom Ellis really bring their A game. It was after episode 9 that I realised I wasn't just enjoying this Show, drawn into the story but was actually becoming addicted to it. A feeling I still haven't lost! I am looking forward to seeing your reaction to it.
