Lucifer - an addictive sweet devil

It’s time to try human life! The Devil is tired of Hell and decides to take a vacation on Earth - more precisely in LA. Five years later, he owns a nightclub and lives intensely all things this world can give to him, with the demon Maze by his side.

Lucifer tries to balance his human adventure with his crazy divine family. Delicious!

Humorous devil

The show is not a comedy, per se, but it is so fun. Lucifer has a great sense of humor, and although I’m not religious, I would imagine the real Lucifer precisely like this. Dark humor and rushes of a bad mood when things don’t go up to his way.

I love how he is so truthful all the time. He always tells the truth. It’s not his fault no one believes him, is it?

I also love the way he describes humans; it is fantastic. Especially the “tiny ones”. Who could resist him throwing a piece of food at Chloe’s daughter as if she was a dog?

He is so… human

Despite all that, his feelings are very human, and sometimes you can relate to them. The King of Hell is the most human possible, and sometimes you may even pity him.

He uses Earth as his giant playground helping with injustices while tries to find a way to deal with his divinely messed up family.

He felts wronged by everyone, lonely… They failed him. Such a human feeling for a (fallen) Angel, isn’t it?

In fact, no matter how many people he gets around him, he is, indeed, alone. No one understands him. No one believes him. When he shows himself to the therapist, proving that he really is the devil, it is such a touching scene.

I just finished season 2, so I’m way behind, but it seems to me that at each season, he will deal with one family member. Amenadiel was easy compared to his mother. The great Goddess was such a b***h! Yet, you can’t help yourself but laughing while she tries to figure out how to live amongst humans.

Religion and humor CAN mix

It had been a while since I got interested in a story to the point of binge-watching a show, but Lucifer was able to do that.

God, devil, demons, angels, it’s all part of the western cultural imaginary. It was all shown with the right dose of humor and suspense.

At the end of the day, Lucifer is about a lovely yet naughty guy who only searches for some love and understanding. Curious, isn’t it?

Young Sheldon – A Heartfelt and Hilarious Journey

Young Sheldon is a delightful surprise, blending humor, heart, and a touch of nostalgia. As a prequel to The Big Bang Theory , the show offers insight into the childhood of Sheldon Cooper, one of the most iconic characters in modern TV.

Emily in Paris 3: The Good, the Bad, and the Unrealistic

The third season of Emily in Paris got a lot of hate and love among the viewers. People can’t decide if it was the best season or the worst of all. And I understand why. We start the season with Emily’s life in perfect chaos, and she doesn’t seem to know what she wants. She never does… Is this good for the plot? Maybe. Is this annoying? Sometimes. So… why can’t we stop watching it? Are you feeling frustrated? Me too. She doesn’t know what she wants. She can’t make a decision, not in her love life, not in her job… And it is not because she wants it all. She is not mature enough to say no and own her decision and its consequences. Emily comes across as a spoiled little girl. The problem is that she is the main character, yet, Mindy starts to feel way more interesting than her. Also, any other character on the show is funnier than Emily, namely her co-workers, who apparently are very bad at their jobs and need her to save them with every single client… How did they keep the company...

Gender, Power, and Cigarettes: Why 'Mad Men' Still Resonates

Mad Men is a masterpiece of television that blends sharp storytelling with striking period detail, offering a reflective glimpse into the 1960s. The series follows Don Draper and the high-stakes world of Madison Avenue advertising, all while painting a vivid picture of the era's societal norms, especially the rampant sexism and rigid gender roles. It's both mesmerizing and infuriating, particularly in its honest depiction of how women were treated. Strong Emotions The show’s brilliance lies in its ability to evoke strong emotions—its subtlety, exceptional writing, and rich characters draw you into a world that feels both foreign and disturbingly recent. The meticulously crafted period aesthetics are complemented by historical undercurrents, from civil rights to cultural shifts, which remain integral yet never overshadow the deeply personal dramas of the characters. Wait For the Impact Mad Men doesn’t rely on flashy plot twists; instead, it uses nuanced storyte...
