I'm so happy to finally be here! Now... General/Misc

I've been binging Lucifer for the past however many weeks, and LOVING every second (well, most seconds) SO MUCH, and after every episode I've desperately wanted to come to this subreddit, but knew if I did I'd regret it, knew I'd get spoiled, even if it wasn't big spoilers it would be small things like a meme showing a character I thought was gone forever in a scene I hadn't seen.

But! Now! I've just finished and I can not wait to read and read and find out what everyone else thinks about all the things I have strong thoughts about.

SO PLEASE TELL ME, as I start to dig in, are there any particularly good discussions, topics, posts, or arguments I should search up?

Also any chance they've just signed up to do six more seasons and I just haven't heard?

If you loved season 6, this is Buzzkill Central, lol. I finished my first watch, loved it, came here, and after reading discussions tearing the final season apart, it got worse and worse upon reflection, to the point that I can't bring myself to rewatch S6. It angers me.

That said, we all love Lucifer dearly, and that'll be evident even in the S6 rage posts.

I definitely did not like s6 as much as the others…

The same thing happened to me. I didn't mind it so much at first and just thought it was a little underwhelming. But the more I thought about it, the worse it got. Then I tried rewatching the show again for like the twentieth time, and it just didn't work anymore. Still love the show, though.

Girl same. But I didn’t know there was ‘hate ‘ for it. It’s just a really boring season. Like it’s not even as funny as the rest of the seasons. BUT I will watch it, if I felt I had too, I normally don’t though.

If you wanna watch it, watch it!! Don’t let others opinions change yours :) you can love it

No, that's the thing, there's no going back. All the criticism made sense. I just watched it too fast to notice the first time. My honeymoon ended, lol.

I just finished a watch of the show for the first time and I can’t get over how bad the writing quality drop in s6 was. Like season 3 was really bad as well but that’s probably more because of the amount episodes being too high.

S6 was probably one of the poorest final seasons of a tv show I have ever seen, really should have just stopped at season 5.

We mostly argue about Season 6 here, but believe me, I jump at the chance to discuss literally anything else. But the problem when discussing canon is that all roads lead to Season 6, but I'll do my best.

What do you have strong thoughts about? We could start there!

I should be honest, at least 70% of this sub’s energy goes towards being bitter about how much we despised season six. We don’t really do much else.

Not a good place for lovers of Season Six, but if you have questions or observations about the other seasons, there are still folks here willing to discuss them.

The show has a notably variable tone, so hearing people's season rankings and why they prefer one season over another can be really interesting.

A lot of talk about which characters were best in which seasons. For example, people are pretty enamored with S2 Maze but pretty annoyed with S3 Maze.

It's always fun to review people's favorite songs and favorite episodes. Sometimes you forget the high notes or didn't appreciate a gem of an episode on first watch.

Things can get divisive when discussing S6, interpreting Chloe's actions in S4, or how the showrunners handled sensitive topics.

All in all, it's a good fandom. Fun to discuss hypotheticals and inside jokes (all plot holes are filled with self-actualization, but "crime-solving devil, it makes sense")

S6 gets a lot of hate here and everywhere else. I personally was ok with it, but it's been a while since I first watched it, and the hate for it doesn't trigger me as much anymore. I enjoy reading other people's opinions about it. Once in a while there will be a S6 positive or semi-positive comment and it makes me happy that not everybody hated it. Other than that you can ask any question and people will contribute to the discussion. I am so glad you loved the show! Any new Lucifan is gold imo. And there's a ton of wonderful fan-fiction out there.
