Because the Night

In the vast universe of television series, there are shows that stand out for their unique concept and captivating storytelling. One such show is 'Lucifer', an American urban fantasy series that masterfully combines comedy, crime, drama, and fantasy. It's not every day you come across a show where the Devil himself, bored and dissatisfied with his life in Hell, decides to retire to Los Angeles and open an upscale nightclub. But wait! There's more to this devil than meets the eye.

The series kicks off when Lucifer Morningstar (played by the charming Tom Ellis), after growing weary of his monotonous life as the Lord of Hell, abandons his throne and lands up in Los Angeles. Here he indulges in all things human - music, wine, women - until a murder takes place right outside his club. This unfortunate event introduces him to Detective Chloe Decker (Lauren German), an intriguing homicide detective who is strangely immune to his supernatural charms. Together they form an unlikely partnership solving various murder cases while diving deep into personal struggles and celestial secrets.

One of the major hooks of 'Lucifer' is its rich array of characters brought to life by some notable actors from popular TV shows like 'The Flash', 'Chicago Fire', 'Arrow', and many more. Besides Lucifer and Chloe, we have Kevin Alejandro playing Detective Dan Espinoza (Chloe's ex-husband), D.B Woodside as Amenadiel (Lucifer's angelic brother), Lesley-Ann Brandt as Mazikeen or Maze (a demon fiercely loyal to Lucifer) among others. Their multi-layered characters, coupled with their complex relationships, form the crux of many interesting sub-plots.
