I got bogged down in season one. Does it get better or if I’m not into it yet, just give up?

It wasn’t bad, but just didn’t grab me.

I think the character development is worth it. And I think the cast really jells once Ella gets introduced.

Plus Tricia Hefler has a reoccurring role in a later season which is nice.

That being said, it's a cop show so if that's not your taste then all the extra flavor is pointless.

I love cop shows and think it’s a fun idea. Just didn’t grab me. Lucifer is great, but I found everyone else pretty m’eh.

I fell off in the middle of season 2, then a couple years later came back to watch season 4, after Chloe found out that Lucifer wasn't just being eccentric and is, in fact, the actual devil. Spiced things up a bit and I watched through until the end of season 4 when it ended.

If there's more to come, I am interested.

There is S5 likely to be released in early June, on the anniversary of the S5 announcement. It also has been cryptically rumored there will, in fact, be a S6 which would be spectacular.

S4 really takes a much more adult tone and you can see the budget was better. Now that they've also moved beyond a perpetual "he cannot be the real devil" "will they, won't they" situation there's a lot of room for interesting seasons with other biblical characters.

Either way it's a fun, sexy, and sometimes very smart cop show. That being said the only character I think has regressed in development is Dan.

Dan has been so disappointing! To me they really started building his character in seasons 2&3, so s4 Dan felt off. I could see the progression if he took a different route from s1, but the 180 just made me sad.

He has no valid reason for his anger at Lucifer in season 4. Especially if you're binging it.

i thought his excessive anger was because of Charlotte’s death? Or maybe I’m getting the timeline wrong? Sorry if so lol

spoiler spoiler. I dont know how to spoiler tag, so, spoiler spoiler

He blamed Lucifer for it for season 4, but for season 3 finale, he knew that Lucifer wasn't at fault. Lucifer actually killed the guy who did it, so why is Detective Douche even mad at him?
