Have you read the comic? If so, how does it compare?

It's hard to tell, it seems like it's going to be mostly a detective show with Lucifer popping up to help the female cop. Ironically its the exact same premise as Minority Report, to the point where it seems like they had one script, and then bought the rights to Lucifer/Minority report and took the idea in two different directions.

Both have tough female detectives, both have a male partner/sidekick(who's essentially the focus of the show) with special powers that help her solve crimes, and a undercurrent of some grand mystery going on with the guy that they dance around with in the pilot.

Who keeps casting Meagan Good? She's absolutely awful and drags down Minority Report, not that it's a good show otherwise. Lucifer has charm in droves; Minority Report has bad CGI.

One of them is sure to get cancelled, and my bet is on MR because it's clearly more expensive to produce then Lucifer.

Blindspot is aggressively mediocre. Jaimie Alexander is decent but spends most of the pilot playing PTSD, and her co-star is a poor man's Sam Worthington.

So far, I'd probably rank the leaked pilots:
Lucifer
Supergirl
Blindspot
Minority Report

I strongly prefer Minority Report if only because the male lead, "Dash" has such a weird awkward way about him that the actor nails that makes him 1000x times more interesting then previous "damaged" geniuses like Monk or Sherlock. The actor takes the incredible awkwardness his character has and manages to translate it into an actual physical expression with his jerky motions and staggered speech patterns. He reminds me of the guy from Alphas, the autistic EM field expert who's actor completely loving delivered.
