Tom Ellis plays Lucifer Morningstar, most formally known as the devil. He is bored and unhappy reigning over the pits of hell, and decides that it is time for hime to retire the throne and make way for Los Angeles. It is there he meets a police detective named Chloe Decker (Lauren German) and uses his supernatural ability to influence people and assist her on cases This show embodies the spirit of LA very well. Each episode is usually about a new case while still following along and developing a good story for its main characters. If you like mystery and comedy combined, then I highly suggest you check this show out. I would find myself deep into the story trying to figure out who the killer or culprit is, meanwhile Lucifer is doing a great job in providing comic relief.
There are two main stars of the show, Tom Ellis and Lauren German, but there are also two main co-stars. The first being Lucifers follower Mazikeen (Lesley-Ann Brandt) Lucifer being the devil is basically her master, she must obey him no matter cost, yet by being on earth it is starting to change her and allow her to have free will. The second co- star is Amenadiel (D.B. Woodside) who plays an angel and Lucifers brother. By including an actual figure from the bible, it allows the show to go more in depth than just police detective cases. It makes for interesting thoughts about God and the Devil as well.
