Review
Lucifer is an interesting concept that provides people with a very different perspective of what people generally associate with the Devil. Such like how Christians believe the Devil to be a pure evil entity who only lies (the father of lies). Whereas throughout the series it is made evident the Lucifer who never lies and seeks out justice for those wrongly acted upon. This is a very intriguing idea that would appeal to the audience.Each and every character are unique in their own way. Lucifer acts carefree and gentlemanlike to those around him, when he talks and interacts with others he is always full of confidence but while at the same time being careful to not be too arrogant. Mazikeen is a demon so she enjoys torture and pleasure, later on in the series she becomes restraint and acts appropriately with the people around her. Chloe Decker is essentially the opposite of Lucifer, she is very sympathetic to those around her and is always serious given any situation.
The soundtracks are perfectly chosen and used in the correct scenes. There is a mix of pop, rock and rap that will attract the younger audience.
In terms of visual effects in some scenes it doesn't look as realistic as it should be, but given the budget that the series had to work on it was understandable. As seen below the green screen in the background becomes very obvious and is very distracting from the actual scene occurring
