After six seasons, Lucifer had finally come to an end.
This final season started by being a little disappointing to me. Yet, to tell you the truth, I was already quite suspicious about it, to begin with. I believed that the show should have ended in the previous one.
What could be coming next? A new and totally different narrative line with Lucifer being God? That wasn't what we signed up for, was it? Fortunately, I was wrong.
Slow starting
The first couple of episodes were very slow, and frankly, I didn't like them.
In a way, they served the only purpose of giving us some context on what was going on. Dan is still trying to adapt to the after-life. Chloe is more boring than ever, and Lucifer… Well, he is trying to find himself, his purpose, his call.
In fact, in this season is quite evident the ambiguity - he can't lie, but he rarely tells the whole truth. It's curious.
Amenadiel and humanity
Amenadiel is living like an actual human being, and he might not like what he sees. He is in the police force now and faces humans' worst side. This makes him deal with many choices and doubts. But it also makes him stronger and more aware of the weaknesses in this world.
It was an excellent way for him to understand people and reach some wisdom and clarity, both vitals for his next role - God.
Rory
The highlight of this season is, without a doubt, Rory. She is Lucifer's and Chloe's daughter and came from the future looking for revenge. I suppose it seems a bit silly, but it works and gives us one of the best emotional scenes of the season.
Also, Lucifer trying to be a father and do everything right brings a lot of giggling. He invests a lot in the relationship, and like any other parent, he makes some things right, while in others, he totally fails - and it's hilarious.
Ella
She finally knows the truth! Ella deserved to be included in "the team" sooner. She is always there for them. She is a believer and a brilliant and resourceful girl. As such, she performs an investigation on her own and finds out the truth by herself. Perfect!
It was about time! Obviously, she felt some resentment to be left in the dark, but eventually, everything passed. The wedding scene was quite fun.
Maze learn to love… herself
Maze has been one of the main characters since the beginning and one of my favorites.
Her plans for happiness are interrupted by Adam, the first man. He is rude, sexist, and annoying, but in the end, he makes you laugh. (You also understand why Eve couldn't stand him anymore.)
Things get weird when you find out that his appearance was Maze's doing. She thinks she is not worthy of happiness and love. Thanks to Eve's patience and understanding, Maze finally understands that she needs to learn how to let others love her.
She is, indeed, a great character, and, in the final moments, she is the only one that comprehends the real intentions of Lucifer when he goes to say goodbye. Beautiful scene.
The End
Linda's book had the notable role of delighting us with the memories of all important happenings throughout the show. It represents some closure to all characters, and us, the viewers.
Every character finds its path, and I'd like to highlight Dan's ending. He was finally able to go to heaven and to have a proper goodbye to Trixie.
It was a very emotional ending and, against all odds, a pretty good one. I loved it. I'll miss this show.
