Hell Needs A King.

Last night [personal profile] kshandra and I finally finished watching Season 4 of Lucifer on Netflix. Oh, so happy that this series was saved, as season 3 ended on a major cliffhanger (Detective Decker finally sees Lucifer's devil face and realizes that he is, in fact, the Devil) and I'm tired of series being canceled with ending like that.

But anyway, the fourth season revolves around a couple of plots: Decker reacting to learning the truth, the first ever pregnancy from a human-celestial hook-up, and, oh yeah . . . Eve shows up. She's finally ditched Adam and the Silver City and is ready to hook up with her main crush, Lucifer. What this show does to Christian theology is a caution, but Tom Ellis is perfect as the Devil on Holiday, the rest of the cast is good, and the move to Netflix allowed for more disturbing plots to unfold.

The season arc ended in a wonderful if tragic way.


Ready?

After a horde of demons defies Lucifer's ban on the possession of human bodies, he is forced to assume his full demonic form to order them back to Hell. Realizing that Hell needs its king, and despite he and Decker admitting they love each other, he unfurls his restored angelic wings and returns to Hell, the last shot is of Lucifer, in human form sitting on his throne high above the pits of Hell.

I would have been happy with that as a series climax. But we've been told there will be a 5th season. Yay!
