LUCIFER
August 21, 2020  | By David Bianculli

Netflix, 3:00 a.m. ET

 
SEASON PREMIERE: This is not necessarily a recommendation. It’s qualified, because I’m not really impressed by Lucifer, and never have been. (I’m talking about the show, not the fallen angel – I don’t need any more bad vibes aimed in my direction right now, especially from below.) But this former Fox series, picked up by Netflix, last season began producing new episodes for that streaming service, and they’re not only streaming, they’re steaming. So if you like Lucifer, this continuation, which presents the first half of Season 5 today, is hotter than hell. Or, at least, relatively sizzling. Tom Ellis stars in the title role, and this season he returns to Earth (again), and, for the first time, stars in a sort of satanic film noir (pictured), circa 1946.
