Lucifer
It's good to be bad.
Created by Tom Kapinos
A supernatural crime procedural that balances procedural case-of-the-week comfort with serialized mythology and romantic tension, anchored by a charismatic antihero learning to connect with humanity.
Bored and unhappy as the Lord of Hell, Lucifer Morningstar abandoned his throne and retired to Los Angeles, where he has teamed up with LAPD detective Chloe Decker to take down criminals. But the longer he's away from the underworld, the greater the threat that the worst of humanity could escape.
