Lucifer (2016– )

Lucifer rebels against his bad name and leaves Hell for Los Angeles, where he helps investigate murders.

A series full of nonchalant adventures. With a simple premise, Lucifer truly listens to what its faithful audience wants. The idea of ​​forensic investigations thus appeared, as well as the extension of the series' life by being adopted into the Netflix family in 2019.
The series skillfully uses biblical mythology and more, but without going too deep into unnecessarily complicated meanings; it uses clichés that are known to work (bad boy, atoning love and so on), charismatic actors and naughty humor. Despite the rather frequent moments when the main hero gets a little annoying, the series is pleasant to watch and easy to digest. In addition, the move to Netflix offered several happy occasions when the story took some interesting risks.
