Lucifer (Patreon)

I have just finished watching season six of Lucifer. After watching season five, I thought… we don’t need another season. Sure, Dan is in hell, but that other guy just got out of hell, so I can see how that’s going to be resolved, and Lucifer has been elected God, so his siblings have finally accepted him. Why do they need another season?

OMG I was wrong.  I LOVED this season. I loved that all “Dad’s” mysterious “You’ll figure it out” comments finally played out as first Amenadiel and then Lucifer found their true life’s passion.  I adored Dan’s journey (if you haven’t watched it, spoilers ahead…

After working through his guilt about having been a dirty cop, about having been involved in murder and having been the embodiment of Detective Douche (which Lucifer always called him), he essentially felt guilty about being a good cop. He had left his daughter and hadn’t been there for her to see that he could change and be a better person because—as a better person—he had put his life on the line and died.  He earned his spot in heaven and the season was worth it for his character arc alone.

But then there was time-traveling Rory.  I adored Lucifer’s daughter and the way he managed to be a better father than his own by stopping her when she was on the verge of following his path. It was the ultimate redemption. And then from the first episode, psycho-therapy has been a long-running theme, so to have the king of screwing up therapy realize that it’s time for him to help the soul in hell reach their redemption… I love it.

Was it perfect? Nope.  There were a few sour notes with Linda (the therapist) and I hated that Rory seemed to replace Trixie. She should have been there more, but filming during a pandemic likely has limitations.  But still.  It was damn good.  Really damn good. We did need season six.  So, have you guys been watching?
