"Mum" was the word on everyone's lips as Fox's Lucifer launched its second season - and yet the helluva matriarch's whereabouts spawned quite a guessing game for much of the hour.
Lucifer's second season gets off to a nice start, building on the show's strengths while retaining some of the weaknesses. It remains an unapologetically sordid, demonically fun hour of TV.
Honestly, it's just good to have Lucifer back. Tom Ellis' performance as the literal charming devil remains a pitch perfect bit in the charmingly imperfect series
If you are going to make a cop show in which the lead investigator is Beelzebub, you really have no choice but commit fully and this willingness to dive in is Lucifer's saving grace. It is entirely beguiled by its own preposterousness.
