Lucifer: The Sixth & Final Season Blu-ray Movie Review

The return of the devil.

Lucifer: The Complete Sixth Season explores the last outings with the “devil” as the series wraps things up and delivers fans one more time to revisit these characters. The series began on the Fox television network before being renewed for three last seasons on streaming platform Netflix. Once renewed, Netflix continued the program for its last three seasons and provided fans with some extra closure.

The final season of Lucifer delivers fans more fantasy-comedy-drama as adapted for television by Tom Kapinos (Dawson’s Creek, Californication). Based on characters created for DC/Vertigo comics by Mike Dringenberg, Neil Gaiman, and Sam Kieth), Lucifer stars Tom Ellis, Lauren German, Kevin Alejandro, D.B. Woodside, Lesley-Ann Brandt, and Rachael Harris.

Lucifer Morningstar (Tom Ellis) continues to be a crime-solving devil in disguise. While the stakes of the game have raised considered (and Los Angeles isn’t the backdrop for everything going on with his own siblings), Lucifer finds himself embarking on new mysteries while strengthening his bond with the beautiful Chloe Decker (Lauren German). The journey for the devil is reaching towards an epic conclusion. Can Lucifer find the answers to all of life’s biggest mysteries?

The cast has a lot of fun with their respective roles. The entire cast is committed to the production and their parts in the saga. Tom Ellis is especially impressive in the role of Lucifer. Ellis has a knack for the devilish and sociopathic tendencies of his character and does an expert job of presenting the Devil himself. Lauren German is great in the supporting role of Chloe Decker and certainly offers the series more than just eye candy. The other supporting cast members have fun with their roles as well and are energized by their respective roles. A good ensemble and one of the key reasons the series managed to be successful enough to have a six-season run.

The series is a well-produced television drama and these elements are reflected well in the quality of the craftsmanship behind-the-scenes. The production design by Alex Hajdu (CSI: Vegas, The Walking Dead) surprises with some interesting creative elements. Some of the aspects of the series even stand out more-so than expected (such as a sequence in which a gallery of vintage movie posters for horror productions stands out as something decidedly cool). Hadju helped make Lucifer more ambitious with the production scale.

One last time.

The art direction by Tim Eckel (Chicago Med, CSI: Vegas) is solid as well and the series has a creative energy to it that is compelling. Eckel has a solid grasp on art direction across their credits, delivering audiences a solid artistic and visual experience with Lucifer, and fans will continue to be pleased by Eckel’s artistic approach to the devil himself.

The costumes by Agata Maszkiewicz (National Treasure: Edge of History, Intelligence) make a solid impression. Maszkiewicz provides Tom Ellis with plenty of interesting costume choices (an interesting use of white tuxedos works well for the character and some of the comedic situations). The supporting cast is well dressed, too. The ensemble demonstrate their respective roles and personalities with these costumes supporting the character-development attributes and fitting the tone of the production.

The cinematography by Tom Camarda (National Treasure: Edge of History, CSI: Vegas) and Ken Glassing (Scorpion, Big Sky) is excellent and superior to many television production offerings. The series has an interesting visual aesthetic that is both modern in style and befitting a crime-show with mystery and genre roots. A solid visual effort by Camarda.

The score composed by Ben Decter (The Nomads, Frequency) and Jeff Russo (Star Trek: Picard, The Umbrella Academy) works well within the series too. The score might not stand out as much as on certain television productions but it still manages to imbue some excitement to the mystery aura: creating something all the more relevant as a result. Decter and Russo certainly have fun with the characters and provide them with score motifs that work well.

Led by chief director Nathan Hope (Gotham, CSI: Crime Scene Investigation), Lucifer: The Complete Sixth and Final Season provides fans of the series with more mysteries for the fandom to eat up. The devilish series has reached its conclusion yet the series finds a way to wrap things up for the devotees to enjoy. Fans won’t want to miss out on the final outings.
