Lucifer has built a real following in Australia on Netflix, and in the US on Netflix among viewers who want their sci-fi to think as hard as it looks. 6 seasons is a serious commitment, but one that pays off episode after episode. Its 8/10 TMDB score, built from 15,553 ratings, reflects a title that consistently delivers. Tom Ellis sets the tone, and the world-building does the rest. Available now on Netflix — press play and find out why people keep recommending it.

Lucifer arrived without much fanfare and built its audience the hard way — through word of mouth. Lucifer uses its genre premise as cover for asking bigger questions. Bored and unhappy as the Lord of Hell, Lucifer Morningstar abandoned his throne and retired to Los Angeles, where he has teamed up with LAPD detective Chloe Decker to take down criminals. But the longer he's away from the underworld, the greater the threat that the worst of humanity could escape. Tom Ellis and Lauren German lead a cast that never lets the concept overwhelm the characters. 6 seasons (2016–2021) gave the story room most shows never get. Lucifer resists the temptation to explain everything, trusting the audience to sit with ambiguity. The hit rate here is high enough that skipping ahead never feels like an option.

For late-night viewing or a proper weekend binge, Lucifer fits the bill. Fans of Ballard will recognise the sensibility here immediately. 6 seasons in, there is no shortage of material once you get started. Tom Ellis grounds the bigger ideas in something human. Once you are in, you will want to talk about it.

Lucifer wrapped up in 2021, created by Tom Kapinos — and 6 seasons are available to watch from start to finish.
