Lucifer Seeks Inspiration in Some “High School Poppycock”
Even when an opening scene telegraphs that it’s a dream, it’s still thrilling to watch because it has license to really GO BIG. Having Lucifer unfurl (his wings) in front of Decker only to have her fall off his penthouse balcony was a heckuva way to welcome us back into…
Lucifer and Ella Explore Family Ties in “My Brother’s Keeper”
Ah, the joy of Trixie. I forget how much I miss Decker’s sprog until she back on screen, waving her powder pink death blades à la Maze around. But I’m getting ahead of myself. Tonight’s offering opens on a sketchy meet-up between a well-dressed dude and another dude with a…
Lucifer is In It “Til Death Do Us Part”
Immortality isn’t a curse in and of itself. As Cain understands, the curse is seeing those you care about grow old and die, again and again, as you stay exactly the same for millenia. Eventually, you just stop letting anyone get close. As we learn this week, Cain isn’t suicidal…
Lucifer Gets Dumped When It’s “All About Her”
The return of our favourite devil is chock-full of amazing little scenes and interactions. In fact, the episode focus shifts so quickly, it’s a little dizzifying. Picking up where we left off before the hiatus, Pierce/Cain and Lucifer are sharing a drink while the police lieutenant/World’s First Murderer bleeds from…
It’s a New Year’s Throwback as Lucifer Holidays in the “City of Angels?”
New Year’s Day is often a day used to reflect on the past. The gang over at Lucifer chose to have us look back to the very (fictional) beginning – 2011, to be exact – when Leisure Suit Luci takes a vacation to L.A. Into every hedonistic holiday, a little Amenadiel…
Lucifer’s Fall Finale Takes a Stab at “The Sin Bin”
After The Sinnerman’s eye-opening (sorry, too soon?) reaction to Lucifer’s interrogation last week, our engines were well and truly revved for this mid-winter finale. And the episode takes us on quite a ride before delivering its bombshell reveal. We start with a glimpse of the crime du jour, a woman…
Lucifer Comes Face to Face with “The Sinnerman”
After a short detour through some one-off (and pretty freakin’ awesome) adventures, we return to the hunt for this season’s Big Bad just in time for next week’s mid-winter finale. Talk about delaying gratification. Sheesh. The Sinnerman has been a shadowy figure since the start of the season. Apparently a…
Lucifer Isn’t Keen at First to “Welcome Back Charlotte Richards”
The proof is in the pudding this week… well, at least the body is as a pudding scientist, Simon Fisher (Jeff Bowser, Everybody Hates Chris), is killed in a vat of his closely guarded secret recipe. This disturbs our resident pudding enthusiast, Espinoza, deeply but not as much as the…
Lucifer Gets in Touch with His Feelings in “Deceptive Little Parasite”
Much of the charm of this show (besides the obvious super-suave-ness of star, Tom Ellis) lies in the delightfully domestic humour the writers are willing to give in to. Whether it’s a parental squabble between Chloe and Dan, a quirky workplace vignette starring Ella, or a moment of childlike wonder…
Lucifer’s Back In Town and It’s Sweet As “Candy Morningstar”
When last we saw our favourite fallen angel, he had literally gone to Hell and back (with some help from Mama Charlotte) to save Chloe’s life… then promptly skipped town altogether. Finding out his Almighty Father had planted Chloe in his path (with a little help from brother Amenadiel) had…
Thank Me Later: Will Trent
[Warning: spoilers ahead.] I’m on record as loving and losing shows over at ABC so I’m usually very reticent to pick something up on the network until it’s been renewed, and I seriously hope I’m not jinxing it, but I took a chance on the deeply odd and very sweet…

Two Takes: The Catch “The Knock-Off”

What They Said: Top 4 Quotable Moments from Black Sails “XXIII”
The dialogue in “XXIII” is phenomenal. It’s always a fun ride when Black Sails carries its viewers along without giving them the chance to catch their breath. When an episode moves at this unforgiving pace, there is no chance for a breather nor is there a respite from the information…
What Lucifer Said: Favorite quotes from Supernatural “O Brother, Where Art Thou?”
Supernatural episodes are almost always funny but thanks to the dialogue and a certain man speaking said dialogue, I laughed a lot during “O Brother, Where Art Thou?” You know, when I wasn’t busy fearing for Sam’s life or wondering what in the world was going on with Dean and…
What They Said: The Flash, “Legends Of Today” and Arrow, “Legends Of Yesterday”
Two nights of Arrow + The Flash = what more could we ask for?! I don’t know what it is about blending these shows, but I can’t help but feel that every time they come together, they somehow become greater than the sum of their parts. And that’s saying a lot…
What they Said: Top 4 Quotable Moments from Graceland “Little Bo Bleep”
Shoot outs. Fake outs. And long-awaited revelations. “Little Bo Bleep” was a jam-packed episode that wrapped up some loose ends and totally frayed others. Â It finally gave us one Sarkissian in jail and pulled back the curtain on Briggs’ master plan, but it also set up Jakes for a world…
