What would happen if the Devil went on vacation? And while on vacation decided to become a club owner who, in his spare time, solved crimes? That's the basic premise of
Lucifer. Based on the
Vertigo Comics character created by
Neil Gaiman,
Tom Ellis stars as
Lucifer Morningstar. Hardly hiding, while helping
Detective Chloe Decker (
Lauren German), the only woman not susceptible to the Devil's charms, solve crimes, Lucifer lets everyone from Chloe to
his psychologist (
Rachel Harris) know that he believes himself to be the Devil. Despite witnessing the inexplicable, however, no one takes his admission seriously.
Highlights of the highly-enjoyable First Season include a very important
missing cargo container,
Lucifer searching for his stolen wings, the Devil
attempting to do good (for all the wrong reasons), a
priest being the prime suspect in a murder, Lucifer
meeting Chloe's showbiz mom,
Lucifer searching for an impostor, and the
final two episodes of the season where
Lucifer is framed for murder.
Available on DVD and Blu-ray, extras include the Comic-Con panel, character profiles, deleted scenes, and a gag reel.
[Warner Archive Collection, DVD $39.99 / Blu-ray $39.98]
