shapinglightComic Book Resources has interviewed the Lucifer showrunners about every single episode of the series.
It's quite interesting in places, mostly when they're talking about season 1.
The reason why it's interesting is because of the number of times Henderson and Modrovitch say they were lucky to get whatever they wanted to do past the network, which - apparently - was constantly reminding them they were a 'light-hearted procedural' and to rein back on the supernatural element.
That's just so bizarre. A show based on a very dark comic book series, featuring the Devil as the main character, and you want to make a light-hearted procedural out of it? Why on earth would you do that? What is the point of having a show in which the main character is the real, actual devil if you don't want the supernatural stuff?
I'd really like to know where this was coming from. Was it Warner Bros TV who make the show, or was it Fox? If so, what on earth were they thinking?
I say this as someone who loved the show despite its faults, the main one of which, IMO, was the boring procedural element. I hate procedurals. I nearly died of boredom during the one solitary episode of Bones I've watched. I only started watching this one at all because of the premise (the devil bored with hell, running a bar in Los Angeles), then stuck with it because I liked the characters and loved the soundtrack.
Oh anyway, if there is another season, or a TV movie, or anything at all (still no news on that, but I understand that a whole three weeks after the show was cancelled the sets have still not been dismantled) I suppose we may find out. If the procedural element is less in evidence then it was Fox, if things are the same then it was Warner Bros.
Weird.
