The third season of this supernatural fantasy detective series follows the unlikely partnership between LAPD detective Chloe Decker (Lauren German) and nightclub impresario Lucifer Morningstar (Tom Ellis), the flamboyantly arrogant fallen angel who is on a long vacation from Hell and discovers that he enjoys playing detective. Season three opens with Lucifer determined to find out who restored his angel wings (he cut them off long ago) and stole his "devil face." Meanwhile, his brother Amenadiel (D.B. Woodside), an angel originally sent to bring Lucifer back to Hell, loses his own wings and searches for his purpose, and the precinct gets a new captain who, it turns out, is Cain (Tom Welling), the world's first murderer, cursed to live for eternity. Very loosely based on the character created by Neil Gaiman in Sandman and the comic book series by Mike Carey, Lucifer presents the devil not as a malevolent demon but rather as a fallen angel with Daddy issues, and it treats the dysfunctional relationships of the celestial family in human terms. And there is plenty of whimsical humor in this often silly but usually entertaining crime fantasy, although some communities might find its cheeky treatment of biblical themes objectionable. Compiling all 26 episodes from the 2017-18 third season, extras include behind-the-scenes featurettes, interviews, deleted scenes, and a gag reel. A strong optional purchase. (S. Axmaker)
