I miss forever too... Honestly I think forever deserved renewal for a second season more than Lucifer deserved a 4th. It was a great show and the procedural side of it was much better than average.

If you're craving more Ioan Gruffudd, he is currently playing another crime solving forensic pathologist (not of the immortal variety however) in the really good Australian tv show Harrow. Season one is 10 episodes and it has been renewed.

Huh. That seems like a career downgrade, usually talent flows the other way. Going to check it out.

Would recommend Harrow for more Gruffudd. I just randomly found the show and caught the first episode solely because of him. It was a solid first season and he was great in it.

How can I stream it in the US? The last time I looked, it wasn't available directly on Hulu, Netflix, or Amazon Prime.

Same, but for New Amsterdam

e: And by New Amsterdam I mean the 2008 Nikolaj Coster-Waldau series, not the brand new 2018 New Amsterdam that appears to be a medical drama

As far as I know there isn’t a US distribution deal yet (but there will be at some point) so for now either files it guilt free or circumvent the geoblocking to watch it on abc iView (ABC Australia). The first episode expires June 10 If you choose to do the latter.

It’s a great show, and filmed not far from where I live

OK, I did like that That One Doctor From House MD ended up being Azrael, and I figured that Lucifer would just happen to be able to see her at some point in the episode. It didn't happen the way I was hoping (which would reveal to Lopez that Lucifer could see "ghosts," meaning that there's more than meets the eye with Luci), but still, it happened, and it was cool. The thing that killed it for me, though, was that Lucifer figured it out when Lopez jokingly said, "smell ya later!" Then there was that look of realization on his face--Lopez never talks like that! No, she's never said that! Therefore, it can only be Azrael, the only being in all of creation who has ever, does ever, and will ever say the English phrase, "smell you later." Seriously. Seriously.

I get that for those final scenes to work the way they do, you have to have Lopez accidentally reveal that she's been in contact with a celestial being 1) without Lopez knowing she's been in contact with a celestial being, 2) without Lopez knowing that she's revealed this to Lucifer, and 3) without Lopez figuring out that Lucifer can perceive what Lopez believes to be a ghost. But couldn't the writers have come up with some phrase for Lopez to use that's less common and well-known than "smell you later?" You know, something Bible-y? Some sentiment she could convey that is so unique that Lucifer would only associate it with Azrael?

1) The idea that "Smell ya' later" is a common phrase in the deity circle is confusing as hell. "Smelleth thou later"
2) I wish it was actually "Y'know what they say Lucifer, 'Pee is stored in the balls'"

Am the only one who really, really liked the alt timeline ep as a series finale? I didn't even mind the official one but the timeline fuckery was pretty damned good way to cap it off. Last few minutes were great

I actually would’ve been down for the other version of Lucifer as shown by the alt reality episode. It’s a lot darker and has Mazikeen in her original design. It wouldn’t have aired for 3 seasons on Fox though.

Ugh. The fact that this show ended in an alternate universe episode circle jerk is absolutely on point. Of course it did. Of course.

I wish you had been better, Lucifer, instead of a beige as gently caress version of The Mentalist, which was already pretty loving beige. With all the potential of having the literal devil as a main character, somehow we ended up with a police procedural that specialized in not going anywhere or doing anything, like they weren't sure if it was supposed to be serial or not. I wish your writers had some kind of a plan, so they weren't churning out endless is-he-or-isn't-he-the-antagonist episodes with Pierce until after a while I couldn't really give a poo poo either way and I mostly just wanted him to die so the loving plot would move forward into something else.

What a waste of million mom rage mail they poo poo away on a mediocrity.

I couldn't believe what I was watching for most of that episode. But man the alt timeline one was so much better that I'd be fine with a few similarly bad ones in the hypothetical fourth anyway.

I was a bit disappointed in this season, mainly because the "lucifer's current psychological problem manifests itself dramatically in the real life happenings of a case thing" was actually getting WORSE to the point that he was behaving really badly in a way that wasn't charming anymore, and just really terrible.? But I still wanted it to live!

I know life is unfair, but there are so many terrible shows, and things like this that falter a bit get canned. Woe is us. :downs:

They also ended up with some goofiness when they started doing flashbacks but some of the past actors had left the show so all of a sudden Ichabod never interacted with his wife or best friend.
