"Lucifer" may be centered on the literal Devil, but it's not your average religious fantasy drama. The series does something truly unique, mixing in elements of horror, mystery, thriller, and police procedural, with Lucifer Morningstar helping out on cases with the Los Angeles Police Department and running a successful nightclub to boot. Beside Lucifer is Detective Chloe Decker, a dedicated cop who is somehow immune to his manipulative powers.
In addition to taking on the most grisly crimes, Lucifer and Decker must contend with Decker's disgruntled ex-husband Dan (Kevin Alejandro), who is a fellow detective, and Lucifer's brother Amenadiel (D.B. Woodside). The familial angel wants Lucifer to return to his domain below and will do whatever it takes to get him back to ruling Hell. To make things more complicated, though, Lucifer's immortality seems to wane whenever Decker is near, making their already difficult partnership all the more problematic when they fall in love.
Over the course of the series, Amenadiel is joined by his mother (Tricia Helfer) — the goddess of creation — and the biblical Cain (Tom Welling), among others, who cause Earthly problems for Lucifer. But when Decker discovers Lucifer's true face, she struggles to accept that she's in love with the Devil. In the show's final year, Lucifer actually does the unthinkable, attempting to fill the shoes of God himself while trying to rescue Dan who is trapped in Hell — all while trying to find a new place for himself in the universe.
