The TV show Lucifer - now on Netflix

[Bob the Unbeliever]

A show that ran on Fox for 3 seasons has been picked up by Netflix.

A 4th season is now live.

It's brilliantly written, and I did not understand why, until I went to the Wiki. Neil Gaiman was part of the storyline, the show being based on some of his stories.

I think Tom Ellis is brilliant as Lucifer, the Shining One.

I was going to jump right into season 4, but gave pause.... nope-nope-nope. I'm binging on season 1, and have made it to episode 5.

*sigh* I love well written fantasy. In truth? The Lucifer of this series is far more believable than anything in the silly bible. Better written, more sympathetic, the whole works.

Far more internally consistent than the bible, which is literally, all over the place, story-wise.

Yeah, that's my Netflix binge series du jour. I'm somewhere is season two. Good show.

I've considered watching it. I have a few other things in the queue atm but seems a good recommendation to add to my watch list.

The Lucifer i was thinking of has no empathy, no remorse, no pity, no care nor love for anyone. Despises souls all day, loves to tell lies to destroy everything about anyone innocent. Is malevolent, malicious and confident in destruction. Despises fairness, despises all well being but his own , and uses everyone and everything to serve only his own purposes. Is a master of depravity and wickedness. Likes to appear as a goodly person in order to do harm. His only purpose is to end all honest people, and torment them day and night forever and ever in a state of eternal powerless, unbearable torment.

Anyone loyal to that Lucifer's purposes will be used and driven for those exact purposes and when they are of no use, he will simply end them if he cant find a self serving murdering use for their existence for his power alone glory.

And if this Lucifer gets his victory, he will revel in his own mayhem forever and ever til he is all by himself with every heavenly power and thing in his full control. Everything and everybody a toy of his own maliciousness til he is absolutely alone and God of all. And from there he will end all those whom served his purposes.

Thats the epitome of evil. A real puker.

Where did that come from? Certainly not the bible... perhaps Dante's Inferno? Or some other fictional literature?

Moreover, it has nothing at all to do with the OP-- the Lucifer character in the TV show is nothing like your rant.

I don't know why you bothered posting at all...

The source material that this show is supposed to be based on DC's Hellblazer, Sandman and of course Lucifer.

Great to know, I love this show but I never finished it!

 

[Bob the Unbeliever]

There are hollywood productions that depict the character just that way..

So freaking what? Go start your own freaking thread, then.

And its in the bible .

Again? So what? What YOU wrote most certainly IS NOT.

1 Peter 5:8 Be sober-minded and alert. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour.

Nothing like the horse-exhaust you wrote.

Go start your own thread.

Irrelevant, but Tom Ellis is scrummy. I'd gladly dance into hell if he were the ruler. Woof!

It's based on DC Comics Vertigo series stories, which include:

iZombie, Constantine, Lucifer, and Preacher.

Not the bible, lol.

Been a long time fan of the show, it's good. Also, surprisingly dug the new Sabrina because they didn't PC-out the show and amped it up.

Comic version is a complete *******, the TV Lucifer is way too nice

I'm as straight as they come, but absolutely he is a tall drink of water on a hot day indeed.

I've not had the opportunity. But the TV show is quite good. Good characters, good struggles, good development.

Nobody gets out of the series without change.

Oh yes-- I'm on the last episode of Part 1 with Sabrina. And yeah... no wimping out PC with that one. Quite good. Very dark.

Delicious.

Thanks, I did not know that. I like the Constantine character, loved the too short TV show, thought about reading the comic.

The show iZombie was good too-- watched while it was on.

As for the Preacher? I've not see that-- an unfamiliar character.

Oh, I was avoiding it because I thought it would butcher the comic it was based on. But this post gives me hope.
