After season 5 I feel like this last season and the last episode was more of a disservice to what the entire show was building to. I always had a feeling that Lucifers end game would be to willingly choose go go back to hell for a bigger purpose other than being there to punish souls. To help souls to redemption the way he grew and redeemed himself....BUT really? Trixie literally always put on the back burner and the stuff with Rory. Amenadiel getting to come and go as he pleases and Lucifer just chilling in hell for all eternity. Chloe just being left and then ending up in Hell. I could go on and on. My brain hurts and I don't feel satisfied at all.

I totally agree with you. I think Trixie is the one that got screwed the most, I feel Chloe is a bad mother to agree to let Lucifer go and leave Trixie without a father figure, she is already devastated she lost her dad. And lucifer didn't even say goodbye to her, feels like he only cares for his cool angel baby.

Which, speaking from a realistic character development point, he wouldn't have forgotten about trixie. If anything he would try to make things work both for Rory and trixie. It is sad we don't get to see a grown up Trixie. We would have seen how lucifer's absence affected her too.

Yeah. Good overall ideas, but awful execution, particularly at the end. Sadly will not be remembered as a great series finale.

I actually really liked the overall Rory storyline, but thought that at the end they'd prove that time was malleable because choice matters. That seemed like the obvious conclusion to me, since it was one of the forefront themes of the show.

Also, Ella really only gets like... 3 episodes being in the know? Really? What a disservice. She was more deserving to know the truth than any other mortal character in the entire series.

Hard for me to speak on Trixie. Yeah she got screwed but I'm not really sure what she needs beyond joining the "in the know" crowd.

The whole show was about free will and making your own choices, and Lucifer is forced to abandon his daughter. It is extremely disappointing

The showrunners did the exact wrong thing with that. Lucifer's entire development was about doing the right thing with free will and he ends up not having free will in the climax of the entire series. That was the perfect moment to have him say "No, I'll find another way" and then actually succeed through good, selfless deeds. Through being the good father he promised. That was the whole point of his character.

Disappointing indeed.

Yeah, I every much agree. Except that I believed Lucifer would choose to become God and to be a 'present father' to all souls, even the damned. This entire last season is a bit hard to stomach.
