The TV show Lucifer,

Placing the King of Darkness, in the shadow of truth, kindness and love. The fantasy of this portrayal is exquisite. Shedding away the age-old fables of the devil luring mankind into darkness. The tale proclaims accountability for our own deeds.

Placing the King of Darkness, in the shadow of truth, kindness and love. The fantasy of this portrayal is exquisite. Shedding away the age-old fables of the devil luring mankind into darkness.  The tale proclaims accountability for our deeds.

The emotionally unavailable ‘Dad’, the unaddressed parental issues trigger started from eternity, hilarious. The rebellious child cast out to hell, the gutsy dope who started a rebellion against ‘Father’.

The man who lures out all your secret true desires, the mojo that’s impeccable, above all Tom Ellis with his smirks, the sext British accent simply owns the show.

 Beyond all those the show is set from the perspective of an aeon old villain, the devil we all blame. The show depicts humanity and the humane feelings of the devil, the manipulation, the gaslighting, demolished pedestals of divinity to bring in the vulnerable angels and demons to escalating earthly tensions. The pain, the mishap, the unwanted ache of treason, the fault, the unforgiveness the epoch old baggage of unattended Daddy issues. Unable to find the meaning to the test and ‘ Path of Father is unpredictable ‘, the perseverance and hope, the faith when tested is true faith.

The Angels of God come into the world, they are depicted with the flaw, the ego of being the favourite child of the Father, the most powerful, Amenadiel.  His journey of understanding his true purpose, passing the test, redefining love, fatherhood.

The archangel Michael is villainized which brings out the proficiency of Mike Carey, the author to bring out the stark competition that might exist in Heaven and Hell.  The story is lore and leaves a door open for the viewer to extend his/her imagination into the mind games of divinity.

It leaves us with questioning and empathizing with “The King of Darkness”.

The miracle set by the loving Father as Chloe for his cast-out son shows how the Father in Heaven is still looking out for his lost lamb.  The love that is untold, but in all its intensity and overwhelmingly brimming touch that brings them back to point one where they left each other every time. Lucifer’s true self and his evilness engraved in him keeps himself away from ‘Detective’. She embraces his wounds and shows the grace of acceptance.

The therapist Dr Linda Martin is yet another example of human beings who have the heart to accept reality without prejudice.  The fantasy of the show is on point and redefines the goodness of evil and the totalitarianism of divinity.
