i am watching lucifer again

Second try on Lucifer Season 2 as it did the literal impossible first time around; it hit my blasphemy button.

This is weird as a.) I don't have one of those and b.) seriously, I don't believe in blasphemy any more than I believe apostasy or sacrilege (yeah I'm that type of Christian). And yet, I was very unfine with Lucifer's mother sentenced to earth as a suburban wife in six inch heels. Like, why that would create a new 'wtf no' in my brain I can't tell you but there we were. If you are going to posit God had a wife in fiction, you do not sentence her to the suburbs in stilettos and mini-skirts; that is a bridge too far.

(I don't even pretend to understand it, it just happened. Though can't deny, part of it was disappointment; I was hoping for plagues and murder and laying waste, so yeah that was a factor.)

However, I persevered and at least a third of it is the fact that Chloe lives in a constant state of almost bedhead and I appreciate that so much as that is unique on TV. She perpetually looks like she showered, ponytailed or blind-braided that shit in a state of 'whatever, more coffee', and walked out the door, and honestly I love her for that. I feel her. Like me, she said 'I could save thirty seconds more and care even less' and reached for a scrunchie on her way out the door; how can you not love it?

I enjoyed Lucifer (thought wish it was more daring) and am looking forward to having time to watch S4 but be warned the latter half of S3 is a bit bananas.

Every professional woman on television who wears her hair in a ponytail is a personal hero of mine.

I like Lucifer, especially because Chloe seems like such a reasonable relateable person. Hair is back, off the face, done. Her shoes are usually voots with small jeels that ahe could run in if she had to, vut usually doesn't.

I love that she can dress up to the nines if she has too - and look stunning -- but for day to day, there is a very basic level of "professional enough for work" and the care factor goes no further than that.

The mix of personalities on this show -- and the fact that there are as many powerful women as there are men -- keeps me watching, even when I look at wtf is going on and cannot get the suspenders of disbelief to move far enough without snapping to pieces.

I just finished watching the most recent season, and I must confess I've struggled with it all the way through. And the plotline you mention is exactly the kind of thing that's had me sighing with despair at how little they seem to want to do interesting things with the fantastic set up they've got...

It keeps being *almost* good, but never quite achieves its potential, imo.

Thiiiis exactly. It has flashes that are holy shit and then just--that.

Lucifer is a show I enjoy, but it doesn't go very far from its schtick. It's eye candy and campy and fun, but that's about it.

Oh, I agree, but every so often they have some seriously good scenes that resonate and damn it.
