The TVI Take

Fox/Netflix supernatural-procedural anchored by Tom Ellis as the Devil running a Los Angeles nightclub and consulting with the LAPD. The structural commitment to procedural-of-the-week format combined with serialized theological mythology arcs is rare network-drama formal integration.

The Chloe Decker / Lucifer central relationship anchors six seasons of work that doesn't reach for cognitive ambition but executes its genre register cleanly.
