Is LUCIFER A BOP Or FLOP? Pilot episode reaction **reaction/commentary**

[@aleexgeeks8234]

The reaction I didn't know I needed, you should definitely keep reacting to this show, you are gonna love it

[@ADDPRO_24]

I agree, keep watching

[@ambersachs]

Definitely keep watching it

[@dboss7239]

It's a mistake to believe this show is not for you. It is far deeper and more involved than the impression you got from the pilot. It is NOT a police procedural, the "cases" merely serve as metaphors for lessons the many characters need to learn. It is funny, deep, dramatic and romantic and if you watch 2 or 3 more episodes it will "hook" you as it has countless others. These writers are among some of the best for a TV series - ever! And the performances are outstanding as well. But of course it is your choice to watch further....

[@ThreadBomb]

I agree it's a great show, but it's definitely a police procedural (mostly). The whole premise is that Lucifer teams up with the detective to solve crimes.

[@fredkrissman6527]

All I can write is this: the show just gets better&better! I get that it might not be for you, but it's much deeper&profound than you might think from a "10 out of 10" pilot... Cheers

[@DoubleBlack2.0]

Omg, girl, no, you don’t UNDERSTAND. This show is a MASTERPIECE. If you don’t keep going, you’re doing yourself a HUGE disservice.

[@jebus7679]

I really hope you decide to do more reactions to this show. In my opinion, the first 4 episodes of the series really sets up the whole show. And season 2 is a wild ride that just keeps getting better and better. Definitely worth the time. Because it's not just about Lucifer. All of the "side characters" really get a lot of growth and story time throughout the series.

[@jakeand9020]

I have never, in my entire life, heard anything as insulting as comparing Lucifer to twilight.

[@DavidMacDowellBlue]

I hope you consider reacting to more episodes. This show will surprise you, not least because it only gets better from here. Thanks so much for sharing!!!!

[@Mimmers483]

I hate how right you are about the twilight parallels! I can’t unsee it now! 😂 but you have to admit that they are waaay cooler than Bella and Edward

[@sadfaery]

Plus, their stories and characters are much more complex than Bella and Edward.

[@azizulfikri8392]

Better love story than Twilight

[@echowall5967]

The actor for Lucifer is from a family of pastors. His dad, uncle,and sister are all pastors

[@celticwolff5429]

10:55 That is how far I made it in this reaction. I had to stop because I could feel my brain cells shutting down to protect themselves from further damage.

[@modtec1209]

"What is he like 15?" Risky words for a girl THIS obsessed with Twilight xD

[@patriciadoyharzabal1560]

this show has 6 seasons, 93 episodes, an amazing storyline. Best show ever!

[@aubreymclean7712]

Lucifer is the kind of show you'd enjoy even without being a fan of cop shows (at all or anymore). If you watched Castle, expect a similar vibe, the difference is that Lucifer is more flirty, obnoxious and has a much more grown-up sense of humor. Like you said, he is tired of the stereotype that he's a bad guy, he's tired of being judged for his job, essentially. The show is mostly about him discovering who he really is, trying to understand himself, create his own image, find his own way. He's deeply offended when people say the Devil made them do something evil. His job is to punish evil, not create it, which is why he enjoys investigating murder cases with Chloe. He also projects his own personal issues onto the cases they work on. She's constantly annoyed by his antics but they warm up to each other. Why she's immune to his powers will be of major importance for many reasons, especially to him. His brother, Amenadiel, will also go through his own personal struggles and experiences in the human world. There will be other celestials with their own attitudes towards humanity, shows how ignorant they actually are. All wrapped in comedy so it's not a heavily religious cop show.

[@nicksmyth4050]

17:10 Well.... while it might not happen in the show due to censorship.... that's exactly what he does in the comics

[@WolfHreda]

So, the DC character of Lucifer Morningstar was actually modeled after David Bowie. They absolutely knew they weren't going to be able to mimic that for the show, so they didn't bother. And it turned out great. Although that's why they had Fame playing in the club, as a nice little homage to the comics version.

[@RookofBlack]

Please continue reacting to this show, it only gets better from here.

[@rebekahczabaniuk2232]

I was so unsure of lucifer but stuck through for Tom Ellis and i am so glad I did, One of my favourite shows for sure!

[@leilanyx]

this is definietly one of those shows that just keeps getting better and better - the first 4 episodes are pretty much setting up the characters and their relationships and what we can expect from the show, ep 5 is where things really take off, not that the first 4 eps aren't really solid eps! it's an emotional journey and definitely such a fascinating concept! even though it is technically based on dc comics, it's basically it's own thing (though a version of tom ellis' lucifer does cameo in a crossover episode in one of the arrowverse shows)

[@isbammoi3358]

I know it's seven months later, I hope you either did or eventually do continue this in your own time. My mom, who has VERY different taste than me, and whom I rarely suggest show to for that very reason, ended up bingeing this show more than 6 times after I recommended it to her. I always see her coming back to rewatch it when she runs out of new shows. I think she may even rewatch it more than me! lol. The characters really and truly make it. I remember enjoying the pilot well enough to keep going, but it definitely isn't the best Lucifer has to offer ;]

[@raffaeuteles4907]

It's extremely rare for me to give an dislike to a video, but you are very special.

[@MiddletonPlays]

I didn't start watching this show until 2020 but I absolutely loved it! Tom Ellis will always be Gary Preston to me though!😄

[@xoxogossipa7498]

This show just gets better and better imo and I hope you continue reacting to it lol

[@Camdagenius]

The girl with the glasses sitting in front of the guy you thought was Joey at 7:40 is the girl that played Lavender in the original Matilda movie, Kiami Davael. Looking good lol you should definitely keep watching and reacting!! You and your audience will love it

[@ThreadBomb]

I love this show! It's corny but somehow great. And of course Tom Ellis as Lucifer holds the whole thing together. Another show I'd recommend is Eureka, which used to be on the Syfy channel.

[@Hyp333R]

Fun fact, this is actually a DC Comics property. Lucifer is a character from the same universe as Batman or Superman. They kinda nerfed him ofc here, but in the comics he's argubly second most powerful dc character

[@kurtsnyder4752]

Chloe and Luci are DeckerStar.

[@Aynabg93]

It's one of my favorite shows so I really hope you continue and share at least some of your opinion on more of the show :)

[@jussayin7566]

The way your face sits just perfectly on the body of the old man is hilarious to me!! 🤣🤣🤣 7:26

[@nghtblccd]

11:00 Here in Germany (and Europe mostly in general) you can really just walk into schools, as long as you don't act suspicious xD

[@brendadotter4433]

As a retired teacher here in the US, I can tell you that most schools over here now have security guards, and all visitors are supposed to check in at the front office & get a visitor's badge. And visitors can only enter from the front entrance. All other doors require a staff badge to enter because they are kept locked. (There are crash bars on the inside though.) Active shooter drills are practiced regularly, too.

[@nghtblccd]

@@brendadotter4433 I know, it's the tragic reality of the US system, but I wanted to give a little insight to other countries and views :)

[@LordGrokken]

This show is an absolute gem, other than one or two slow episodes, it is a total binge-worthy dive. The last two seasons will both rip your heart out and then slap it back in.

[@SecureMedal68]

You’re living a sad boring life if you can’t get into Lucifer 😂

[@dessprove7299]

I'm normally not into police shows, but this one is amazing! There is so much more to it and the characters as well as the plot just get more and more interesting with time. You should definitely give it a try

[@vanilla6326]

I hate how right you are with the Bella and Edward parallels but in this scenario, Edward gets therapy

[@rowenatulley852]

I can't believe it. All these comments, and she STILL doesn't watch the best show ever made for TV (IMHO, although Fallout shapes up pretty good) . . .

[@hollyhunter901]

I definitely think you should continue lucifer If not for anything just for lucifer he's amazing and Tom Ellis did a legendary role he even sings many amazing songs in the show

[@ernesthakey3396]

I'd say try one or two more episodes just to see if it grabs your interest more. :)

[@ThePharaz]

Wow, security for schools. When I went there was no security until I got to college and then they only did something if you were like trying steal from the bookstore or attacking someone. > If you like from to time to time experiencing the full range of emotions, lots of character development, frequent twists and turns, lots of naughty stuff, and even Lucifer and some of the others singing then you might want to watch it.

[@bookishmarit1946]

Oh I would love to see your reactions to the show 😍 Actually I, too, took some time after the pilot to really start watching it, so go ahead and watch it whenever you're in the mood. But I can only say that I absolutely love it!! There's so much ahead of you and so many things that will happen that you can't see yet (ok, ofc because this series has 6 seasons but yessss). And well, you really got me with the Twilight thing. It is so true 😂 But actually the camera things and colours that are similar to Twilight will change soon. So it's really just the pilot that has all these similarities. But still :D

[@trishandlitafan00]

Did you watch the whole series? It is SO GOOD. Tom Ellis plays the part so.well. He and Lauren (Chlole) have such good chemistry.. tge show gets better & better every ep.

[@mkitten13]

I absolutely adore this show, the Lucifer/Chloe dynamic reminds me of the Castle/Beckett dynamic of Castle, only with supernatural elements. I adore the characters, Lucifer in therapy is hilarious. I do hope you gave it a shot. It's among my personal favourites

[@GokuInfintysaiyan]

I also wasn't completely sold by episode 1, but the character of Lucifer, let alone the performance of Tom Eliis in general, grows SO much throughout that you would be truly making a horrible mistake to not continue the show. Also it develops an ensemble cast that is impeccable. No character goes to waste, and all of them get their moments to shine. Linda, Mazikeen, Amenadiel, and Dan are all characters that show up in this episode and only grow in importance and depth with time. Amenadiel grows into my favorite character in the entire show. Do yourself a favor and watch it. Trust your audience, they won't steer you wrong.

[@danayneal4409]

If you like good music, the entire series has an amazing soundtrack. It wasn't long before they realized Tom could sing so he starts covering some cool songs.

[@doctor8342]

The David Bowie song playing (Fame) at the beginning when you first see the club is funny because in the comic books Lucifer looks exactly like Bowie, the creator drew him on purpose to look like Bowie, that is also a big complaint from the comic fans about the show because he doesn't look anything like his comic book (blonde ect).

[@brendadotter4433]

Too bad the comic book fans didn't realize that the series never intended to stick to the comic book character very closely. The writing for Lucifer is just outstanding, especially if you like puns and quips as I do. But the dramatic dialogue is great, too.

[@Zerashadow]

Every single time "Ohhh that's Vicki" never strikes wrong xD

[@TonyKNG]

so she didn't keep watching the show just for the pilot? 💀💀💀 6 season's and u decide not to watch the 2nd episode bc of the 1st one

[@anthonyd3315]

Rule of thumb for deciding if you're going to finish watching a TV series/anime. Always Watch At Least The First 3 Episodes.

[@allthingsfandoms6833]

Rebecca & Lucifer what a great combo

[@Shello58]

I'm still in Lucifer reactions limbo. PLEASE keep reacting to this show. Fans went crazy after cancellation causing Netflix to pick up the show giving it even MORE content (like naked Lucifer butt shots).

[@ItsSteveMC4437]

Fun fact: Lucifer was the most beautiful and powerful angel, he became jealous to god and turn against god

[@LeeCarlson]

Laura Gemser, who plays Chloe, actually had herself written out of a supporting role in "Chicago Fire" to take this lead role in Lucifer.

[@brendadotter4433]

I think autocorrect may have changed Lauren German's name to "Laura Gemser." 😆😆😆

[@indrajit4419]

this show is 10/10. this show was cancelled after 3rd season but fan request made netflix bought the rights of the show and they made another 3 seasons and made a fortune out of it.

[@globalgamer5175]

Lucifer can persuade his way into pentagon if he wants to I wish you would watch this entire series and react to it , it would give your channel a boost too because there isn’t enough Lucifer reactors out in the KZbin❤

[@mrjdgibbs]

It's so weird to me... When I was growing up there was almost 0 security at schools.

[@danilopapais1464]

About Chloe Decker (Lauren German): I always thought her facial structure would make her an excellent choice for an elf in a fantasy series or movie. As for schools (and I started to study to become a teacher and also had a bit of practical experience teaching), none of the schools I visited had any kind of security or something like a front desk (even though somewhere inside was administrative staff), but for Los Angeles (or any major city in the US), I agree that it looked weirdly different at that school.

[@VideoGameVillians]

This is one of my favorite shows ever so I'd love for you to continue watching and enjoying it, even if you don't do reactions. But if you're not feeling it right now, perhaps just keep it in mind in case one day you are in the mood to continue it.

[@ErynSierra]

As a fan I recommend continuing the watch. If you don’t though - here’s the explanation as to why Chloe is immune to Lucifer’s tricks. Spoiler (kind of): it’s later explained that God sent Amenadiel to earth when Chloe’s parents were having trouble conceiving. He basically blessed them with Chloe per God’s orders as she was created for Lucifer I can’t remember if the reason was love or balance or something along those lines but since she was made specifically for him his tricks can’t manipulate her.

[@Aloysius_OHare]

I always laughed when he was like "Im the devil" and NO ONE BELIEVES HIM.

[@mexamrc]

Out of curiosity what program do you use to record over the Netflix app? I haven't been able to find one that works. 🤔

[@LeeCarlson]

Lucifer showed up at the school in the company of one of the student's parents, who is a police officer, and his nature is so unassuming that as long as he doesn't make a scene of it, the average person is not going to notice him.

[@2REACHER5]

Hope your enjoying the series I’ve watched the whole series and it’s extremely funny and I’ve been nicknamed Lucifer because I act like him with his comments, one liners and just devilish but I hope you enjoy the series and I can’t wait to see this reaction 😂 I showed my fiancé this and she couldn’t stop laughing

[@LeeCarlson]

If you haven't noticed, Lucifer tells everyone, starting with Chloe, that he does not lie. And he never does. That is part of what makes him who he is.

[@painlord2k]

This is part of what makes the show interesting. He tells everyone he is the Devil and no one believe him.

[@roguemerlin1969]

Yes, there is something of a "Cop show vibe", but it isn't really a cop show. It is more about the characters rather than the crimes being solved. It gets better and better and you really should give the whole series a watch. Lucifer doesn't lie, if you ask him a question, he may not answer but he won't tell a lie, point of pride with him. After the piolet you can't say you aren't curious as to why Lucifer thinks he needs a therapist? I bought the entire series on Blu-ray just so I could binge out on it. One K likes and 14 K views should indicate that a LOT of people love Lucifer.

This is one of my fav show, would to see u react to the whole series!

[@SS-ui7by]

this show is a MASTERPIECE, ofc the first season was created in what, 2015-2016 around, so some of the humor MIGHT seem outdated at times if one's picky about that, but I personally LOVE LOVE L O V E this show. It's not a pure cop drama, 'case of the week' show if it seems like that from first view, they are just a base for the more deeper development. This show has just the right amount of cheesy and doesn't enter into cringe territory lmaoo if you're worried. The character development, the story, the lore and the subversion of biblical ideas is AMAZING. I'm not a Christian, so I wouldn't know the nuances or implications like that, but it's fucking phenomenal. And it just gets better and better as the seasons go on. Personally season 4 and 5 are my absolute favourites. This show will always have a spot in my heart. And Tom Ellis is a wonderful, MARVELLOUS actor. He actually does portray the devil PERFECTLY. No exaggeration. Not to mention his looks are just a lil cherry on top of this great cake.

[@photoTHiNK]

Keep reacting to this! … and you are hysterical! I am somehow reminded of Mini Driver’s character in Goodwill Hunting. 🙌

[@bookdragon4622]

If you like their dynamic you should definitely watch Castle! It's a realy good show!

[@clipsby_elibeth]

The show will slowly loose its investigatory central theme kinda vibe as the show progresses, plus I rly think u would like it especially in the latter seasons

[@topherwhite370]

If you’re doing pilots, check out “Leverage” - one of the best pilots I’ve ever seen. I loved Lucifer. It gets lost a bit in the middle, but has a strong final season.

[@sezuisa]

A show I can only highly recommend, maybe you want to check out the pilot for that: Good Omens! It‘s a pretty short show (6 episodes) and it‘s a huge blast. Oh, and it has David Tennant in the lead role together with Michael Sheen! Or if you‘re in the mood for something truly gut-wrenching, but phenomenally good: Broadchurch! (And David Tennant again, hah)

Honesty. I like that. Like previously said by other viewers, I would keep watching. For other views or for yourself, I believe that you will like it. A LOT. And the Twilight comments, I like them. Just so you know, the Pilot is great, but it gets better and better as the series progresses. Thanks for sharing your opinions and this Post.

Oooh, you ARE missing out. For a pilot it was pretty good, but the show actually gets a LOT better than the pilot. It is DEFINITELY worth watching.

Chloe actually did tell Lucifer what she truly desires, she just bookended it in a way that made it snarky. And she is different from other people, however, to say more would be a spoiler.

[@TheUmbroDragon]

If I can summarize the future of the show without spoiling too much , A very weird cosmic family drama mixed with murder mystery . Its very entertaining and IMO a refreshing take on the whole devil is evil thing that will surprise you. I would watch more of it , it is very entertaining to watch as you find references to biblical history. If I say any more, the fun of it will be spoiled :{P

[@neivilde.1242]

this was one of the last cop shows i watched, and I'm kinda always shocked that it has such a dedicated fanbase. because to me it's a show i liked, it was very good, some excellence in there even, but it's never something i think id recommend. i don't even know why. because as it goes on, especially when moved to netflix, the cop show aspect is very much less important than the actual plot. it's a solid show all throughout actually i never thought about it, it's never bad

[@AllHailVenom]

I’ve almost finished watching Lucifer. I’ve enjoyed it quite a bit 😂

[@rowenatulley852]

You need to continue to watch this series. It's the best series ever made for TV, IMHO. If you think the pilot is strong, wait until you get in the rest of the episodes . . .

[@badplay156]

The show starts a little weak because it is introducing new characters. It gets much better as it goes along. There are a lot of twists throughout. It uses tbe cop show as a platform to tell the story. The character Lucifer came originally from the Sandman series. He was a minor character in that. The interesting thing is there is a crossover in one episode of Legends of Tomorrow and Lucifer that occurs in a timeline prior to this show. The Lucifer presented here is owned by DC comics, but it is one of the most intellegent comics out there.

[@shivambhatt1906]

As a big lucifer fan and first time watching your content. I say keeo watching the show. It is mix of crime, romance and supernatural. Other two more than crime.

[@ab7483]

lucifer is okay. they really start stretching the willful ignorance on not realizing he is the devil a bit too long but pretty much all the lucifer scenes are good. You see at the end of the episode but a sopranos thing kinda with the mental doctor starts which is always fun: hannibal tv series arcane~normally recommended to watch the first 3 episodes instead of just the first. 9 part series in 3 acts.

[@melocoton7]

You have to think of the procedural part as a way to keep the over arching story going. We don’t care about the detectiving at all 😂

[@ayashllaras]

oooh excited for this series! if you like fantasy, maybe you’d like the sandman :)

[@beethewizard]

I agree, and this show is loosely based on the Lucifer that appears in the Sandman. I think the show runners didn’t think anyone would be in to the supernatural aspect which of course, the slowly brought in. Many wanted Tom to reprise the role but both he and the creator Neil Gaiman thought it would not fit as the changes made for the Lucifer show are good but the comic accurate version works too and both are hilarious although the situations may be far more dire in the Sandman version.

[@mortimerbrewster3671]

The first three seasons of Lucifer were good (S1 and S2 were really good/S3, not so much) but when it went to Netflix the show reached it's full potential since it no longer had to adhere to US network standards. I you can trudge through S3, all of the other seasons are excellent.
