My favorite episode of this season
cartesiantheater10 May 2019
Warning: Spoilers
Why? Because it fully explores the trauma and doubt both Chloe and Lucifer are dealing with. Who can blame Chloe for trusting the Vatican on matters of the devil? And yet, who can blame Lucifer for feeling the deepest betrayal, especially after his deep issues with being thought of as the ultimate embodiement of evil by well, everyone (even his own brother thought that in the episode where they show Lucifer's first day on Earth on his latest trip, five years prior to the start of the series).

The best part is that while Chloe pretends everything is fine in episode one, it took three for her to fully come to grips with 3.24's reveal, and her answer to why she would do what she did, and her delivery, are simple but perfect: "Because I'm terrified!" And then her obvious fear and revulsion as he reveals his true nature to her again, contrasted with her internally conflicted emotions about her loyalty to Lucifer (which of course was severely tested), is not only a great piece of writing, but a great piece of acting. As is Lucifer's obvious hurt.

It's a great episode because it really drives the characters.

Wow

Loving the new series. Good going so far. Lucifer is certainly on top form. The devil distrusting someone now there's a human characteristic if ever I saw one. Can't wait to see where this goes.

Wow..to this season so far!

I thought this show, up until now, was pretty good and worth watching because of Tom Ellis. But this season has been on a whole other level. Great acting, and writing. I'm still hoping Amendial will have a better storyline. Other that that, AMAZING season so far.

Gets Better With Each Episode

I am loving this new season! Luckily, the creepy priest didn't last long before being put away though I'm afraid the seed of doubt has already been planted. Not really a dull moment with this episode.

I have been critical of fight scenes on this show in the past, but the one with Maze and Dan was pretty amazing. I loved seeing Dan kick ass, as he has been portrayed as a slightly less-than-intelligent sidekick. I do hope Maze and Dan forge a relationship, as they have a lot of chemistry together. The scenes with Linda and Amenadiel were the only dull moments. Perhaps once the nephilim is born, that arc will pick up. I never knew DB Woodside had such comedic ability, but he has made me laugh out loud more than once throughout the series. His facial expressions are classic!

Although I'm sure Chloe and Lucifer are endgame, I'm grateful they didn't get together too soon. The will they or won't they is what keeps me hanging at the edge of my seat, and the apprehension Chloe feels because he is the devil is completely believable. As for the lady at the end of the show, I wonder if she is going to be Lucifer's Pierce. Kudos to the world's fastest bartender, who was able to whip up an appletini in about four seconds. Hmm. Apple. Maybe she's Eve?

The series has certainly become a bit darker since its transition to Netflix, and I love it. Lucifer is the devil, there absolutely should be dark moments. I hope this season continues on this same path, it's rapidly becoming one of my favorites.

Quality upgrade this start of season
thibault-li12 August 2019

Fuuu, this episode and the previous one were amazing. The show has taken a more serious and darker turn. Since Chloé has seen Lucifer's face, everything will not be the same and all the emotional scenes involving the two of them in this episode and the previous one were kind of sad and creepy at the same time. Honestly, I am a bit shocked by the sudden escalation on violence : the interrogation scene with the rope, the fight scene with Maze and Dan, the death scene with the chair... I hope that there won't be too much gratuitous cruelty and gore in the future, the show doesn't need this. Tom Ellis has gained a lot for the season, I personally will miss the less brutal/sweeter version of Lucifer and all his jokes as well, but I like that the serie is becoming more mature and dares to make Lucifer looks more evil and less like a romcom or sitcom character (one of the downsides of the second part of season 3).

Even thou I found the plot of father Kinley a bit far-fetched, it was necessary to show his ruthlessness. The mirror scene gave me goosebumps, I found it a bit sick (in The Exorcist way), this new season's villain has great potential and I hope that he will be more coherent than the previous one.

Thanks Netflix for buying the show and for bringing it to an upper level

Well.. a good start season

This episode was good. The only thing that I don't approve is.. Why didn't Lucifer use his power with the priest? He could use his power and know all the truth...

Inbar Lavi is so... darn... gorgeous.

No wonder the Devil tempted her. Or did she tempt him?

Anyway I love how they brought her in. She's not really a villain; more like a foil. They could have really screwed this up, but they executed this so well that it really enhances arcs of the main characters.

Each episode improves a little from the last.

Things are better with Chloe. I'm still not sure I like where the continuing storyline is going, but at least the chemistry between Lucifer and Chloe is more back to normal!

Amenadiel's storyline had promise but now I'm not so sure. Lucifer (the show) has always done dumb things with him. I finally liked Dan last season, but I'm so sick of the new Dan. Good thing Maze continues to be one of the best parts of the show.

Good Lord This Series Sucks Now 9's and 10's?? Really?
french-5531828 February 2021
Sorry to not follow in all the sheep footsteps on this site, but the series since being picked up by Netflix absolutely has gone juvenile. I am sure anyone under 30 probably love it with all the orgy jokes and the inane characters, but the comic characters just become tiresome after a few seasons. TV continues to seek the lowest denominator and unfortunately as each season goes by each season goes lower and dumber. Sorry people, but your ratings system has become way too easy. 9 and 10? Come now, please. Seriously think about what it takes to reach perfection.
