Warning: spoilers abound!
Well, here we are: the final season of “Lucifer”. And it’s a good thing too because I think I’ve reached the point of being fed up with this show’s constant back and forth. Don’t get me wrong, I did enjoy the overall season, but… the flaws were also distractingly prominent.
In the first couple of episodes, I wasn’t really into it. Lucifer’s procrastinating becoming God. Typical. And of course he ends up not being God by the end of the series like we didn’t just spend the last of half season watching him fight for the seat. But whatever.
Honestly, I was bored. And then Lucifer’s daughter showed up. That’s when the season became interesting. Rory, Lucifer and Chloe’s daughter from the future, shows up on the scene angry at Lucifer because he abandoned her. And while I liked her character, I didn’t like any of the story surrounding her. Why does Lucifer abandon her? Because she asked him to… so that he can help save her soul when she travels back to start the time loop. Which ties into Lucifer’s new role of healing the souls in Hell instead of imprisoning and that’s fine. But why on earth is the time loop necessary? Supposedly, Rory needed to travel back in time to help Lucifer realize healing souls was his new purpose, but if past seasons are anything to go by, he would’ve figured it out without his daughter feeling abandoned.
I just… I don’t like how they handled the time travel. The season could’ve done without it and I think it would have been far more interesting if Rory turned out to be the daughter of some long-forgotten love instead of one from the future. And this is coming from a fan of time travel stories.
I also didn’t care for the episode where Lucifer and Chloe became cartoons (says the person who adores animation). Having characters end up as cartoons at least once is pretty common in supernatural shows in my experience, so I don’t mind the trope necessarily. But here it felt like they were forcing it in for the sake of it more than anything else. Especially when it was part of the plot of Lucifer readying up to be God that basically got shoved aside in the end.
Rory’s probably the only reason I enjoyed this season. The rest of it was… lackluster at best.
