Lucifer: ¡Diablo! (2020)
Really? Back to filler quality writing episodes, like pre-netflix
First episode I've reviewed because it was socially disappointing..... And not in a artistic way. This one was like a flashback back to earlier sessions. So poorly written.... They wanted a device to put a wedge between Lucifer and Chloe. They chose a cheap one, but the worst part was how disconnected it was from all the writing of the past season and first two episodes.
I would give it less stars, but it's still a lucifer episode. So there's that.
Backstage (2016)
Starts slow but hits it out of the park
I ended up giving this show a chance. Most likely because I went to an arts school. At first I found the show underwhelming, It wasn't bad, but also not very meaty. Over time it started to develop and once it started firing on all cylinders (quite a ways into the first series) I became very impressed. It's not just a kids show, though it's formatted like one and leaves out a lot of real world themes that high school teens wrestle with. It is on the Canadian family channel.
Besides being loaded with incredible music and dance performance that get better and better as the show moves on. Despite toning down on content to landing somewhere between G and a soft PG, it's a fantastic, real, and extremely engaging binge worthy show that deserves to run a very long time.
I hope the slow start of the show, and the initial lack of depth and complexity doesn't hold it back from becoming the phenomenon it turns into and deserves large and long term traction for. It initially does feel like only a tween show but evolves into something genuinely fantastic.
