Based upon the characters created by Neil Gaiman, Sam Kieth and Mike Dringenberg for DC Entertainment’s Vertigo imprint, LUCIFER is the story of the original fallen angel. Bored and unhappy as the Lord of Hell, LUCIFER MORNINGSTAR (Tom Ellis, “Merlin”) has abandoned his throne and retired to L.A., where he owns Lux, an upscale nightclub.
Charming, charismatic and devilishly handsome, Lucifer is enjoying his retirement, indulging in a few of his favorite things – wine, women and song – when a beautiful pop star is brutally murdered outside of Lux. For the first time in roughly 10 billion years, he feels something awaken deep within him as a result of this murder. Compassion? Sympathy? The very thought disturbs him – as well as his best friend and confidante, MAZIKEEN aka MAZE (Lesley-Ann Brandt, “The Librarians”), a fierce demon in the form of a beautiful young woman.
The murder attracts the attention of LAPD homicide detective CHLOE DANCER (Lauren German, “Chicago Fire”), who initially is dismissive of Lucifer. But she becomes intrigued by his talent for drawing out people’s secrets and his desire to dispense justice, doling out punishment to those who deserve it. As they work together to solve the pop star’s murder, Lucifer is struck by Chloe’s inherent goodness. Accustomed to dealing with the absolute worst of humanity, Lucifer is intrigued by Chloe’s apparent purity and begins to wonder if there’s hope for his own soul yet.
At the same time, God’s emissary, the angel AMENADIEL (DB Woodside, “Suits,” “24”), has been sent to Los Angeles to convince Lucifer to return to the underworld…can the Devil incarnate be tempted toward the side of Good, or will his original calling pull him back toward Evil?
Bla-bla-bla, TL;DR: This show is nothing like the source adaptation. Mike Carey Lucifer was something else entirely and this...
1 and 2 are still amazing.

If it means more gaiman stuff then by all means, give us the good stuff in the comics while banking on the tv versions for the plebeians

While it's early yet, it would appear as though Lucifer is prepared to fall into a pattern where Lucifer and Chloe battle outside evil while struggling to contain their sexual tension. He goads her with innuendo, she shuts him down smirkingly, as if to say, "Maybe one day..." Boy oh boy, even though these two are from different worlds, I could actually picture them being together! Again, stop me if you heard this one.
1. Never read the comic, never even heard of it. I don't read comics anymore and I didn't know it was supposedly based on a comic book.
2. I don't care if it's not faithful to the original comic since I haven't read, seen or heard of the comic.
3. The pilot was a bit... Meh.. Some humorous moments but lacked something that made me go "yeah, this show will be awesome". For a pilot: 6/10. Can only hope it follows the same track as many other shows that were meek and weak in the beginning but gained momentum and story arcs crystallized that made the show a must-see.
despite the utter hatred this show seems to have here on the hump, i gave it a shot, and... actually kinda liked it. im not a fan of procedurals, but im enjoying the two leads a fair bit, i do enjoy the humor, and im willing to give the show a shot, especially if the heaven/hell stuff becomes more relevant and it doesnt just slide into a pure procedural... it'll be a challenge to make teh show interesting in the long run, but ill give the show a chance based on what i saw in the pilot.
The thing that bothers people who read the comic book - this could have been on level with GoT or Mr. Robot but they made a procedural for soccer moms.

2a: a mode of satirical wit depending for its effect on bitter, caustic, and often ironic language that is usually directed against an individual
b: the use or language of sarcasm
im still enjoying this. despite hating these kinds of procedural shows, the show just makes me grin ear to ear like the flash USED to. I love the actors/characters, and to me they definitely overcome the mundanity of the 'cop drama' shit, which thankfully seems to never feel like its the focus of the episode.. always seems to be just the platform for which we get to see the two main characters perform against... i do hope we'll start to see a central story develop more, but 5 episodes in, im finding myself looking forward to next weeks ep more than another other show im currently watching.
