Spoilers behind cut.
Case of the week-wise, this was not my favourite. I guessed immediately who the murderer was. He might as well have worn a sign on his forehead saying 'I'm an incipient serial killer. Ask me how.'
As usual with this show, though, the interesting stuff was to do with the interactions between the cast, with how (yet again) Lucifer managed to make the case of the week All About Him (this week, why do people/ie. me want to punish people? The answer apparently being, because it's fun), with how he interacts with Chloe, Amenadiel, Maze, and now with 'Mum,' and how they interact with each other. Nice Dr Linda/Maze cameo. Very nice Mum/Amenadiel scene. Lots of unanswered questions, to do with 'Mum' and 'Dad.' What 'Mum' really wants. Is Maze right about her? Is she trying to get one over on 'Dad',or is she maybe in cahoots with him to bring Lucifer back into the fold? And what the hell is going on with Amenadiel?
Anyway, I enjoyed all that stuff. Can't imagine how Mum/Charlotte is going to get on with Charlotte's husband and kids. It'll be fun finding out. Also, I hope if Dan and Chloe do divorce, Dan is still going to be in the show. I like all the characters enough to not want any of them to leave.
After I'd watched the episode, I went on You Tube to watch the promo for next week's episode, then read the comments underneath. The men who commented were all moaning that there wasn't enough supernatural stuff in the show. Why can't Lucifer use his powers more? The procedural element is boring, etc, etc (I kind of agree with that bit), while the women posting all loved it. I hope this doesn't mean the show is doomed? Do TV program-makers care at all if women watch their stuff, or are they still only interested in male viewers? Or am I wrong to think they think that way?
