With
the way TV is set up today with so many good shows (like Goliath on
Amazon which I'll be writing about soon) or suggestions from friends
and coworkers I no longer feel the need to force myself to power on
through a series even though I don't like it the way I did with
Stranger Things. That show stunk. Millions loved it, I could not
stand that show. Westworld can keep its fan. The pilot was enough for
me. With Lucifer on Fox I tapped out after four episodes into season
two. I just can not keep watching a show where every episode feels
the same with no forward momentum. And when there is its not
surprising. Its more like “About time that happened.” I can see
this series going one or two more seasons, not watching, jumping back
in, and its right in the same spot except maybe Lucifer played by Tom
Ellis is dating the lady cop and madness ensues!
I
liked the first season fine and chalked my issues with it up to
growing pains. But after watching a few episodes of this second
season and I realized that there is no need for me to keep on
watching this series even though I thoroughly have crushes on Maze
and Ella. Bringing in Ella played by Aimee Garcia to the cast was a
good idea but should have been done the first season because, oh, now
it seems that they need someone in forensics to help in cases! Before
it would be Lucifer and Decker showing up to a crime, interviewing
people (one would always be the killer), some flirting at some point,
therapy visit, crime solved. That is still the case but now they stop
by the lab for some humor and actual examining of bodies.
Maze
played by Lesley-Ann Brandt is still good but she is being given shit
to work with. They are rushing her character growth to the point
where it seems she isn't even the same person. She will have moments
of what made her cool but for the most part I see them slowly turning
her into what most of the women on this show are: damaged chicks that
don't want to admit that they need a strong man to help them out. The
episode where all the female characters hung out to get drunk and
fight showed that very clearly. Yeah, they tossed in a fight scene
but that was mostly all Maze. Who is hot.
Y'all
can keep watching this series. As for me, I'm done. Like I said,
there are far too many good shows on Amazon, Netflix, or wherever to
spend time on a show that is spinning its wheels.
