Lucifer - Season 6 Review: a tender goodbye

 



The following text contains Spoilers!


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.

The Handmaid’s Tale – From Brilliant to Frustrating

  When The Handmaid’s Tale first aired, it felt sharp, terrifying, and painfully necessary. I wrote about the first season as a dark and brilliant adaptation, one that used restraint, symbolism, and dread to tell its story. Now that I've finished the third season, my opinion has shifted — not wholly, but noticeably. The show is still good . Sometimes very good. But it also became frustrating, uneven, and less powerful than it could have been. June Osborne: From Survivor to Exhaustion Let’s talk about June (Elisabeth Moss, Mad Men ). I understand the idea behind her arc. She was meant to evolve — to become more confident, more assertive, more dangerous. A woman shaped by trauma who stops surviving and starts fighting back. On paper, it makes sense. On screen, however, it often doesn’t work. June becomes reckless to the point of irresponsibility. She repeatedly puts others in danger without seeming to fully care about who might be caught in the crossfire. Her actions feel impuls...

Gangsta Granny – Hilarious and Surprisingly Moving

  I have a ten-year-old daughter, and one thing we like to do is read the same books so we can talk about them afterward. Gangsta Granny was a birthday gift for her, and she read it so quickly that it immediately made me curious. When a child finishes a book that fast, you know something is working. When I finally read it myself, I was pleasantly surprised — and completely charmed. A Story That Is Funny and Moving At first glance, Gangsta Granny is a crazy, over-the-top, and very funny story. David Walliams clearly knows how to make children laugh, using absurd situations, exaggerated characters, and a fast-moving plot that keeps young readers hooked. But beneath the humour, the book is also sweet, touching, and emotionally rich. What starts as a wild adventure slowly reveals a story about family, loneliness, empathy, and learning to truly see the people around us. This balance reminded me of Roald Dahl’s books , where outrageous humour and emotional depth coexist effortles...

Grief in the Shadows: Why 'The Silencing' Stands Out

  A moody thriller about grief, violence, and how far we go for the ones we love. Nikolaj Coster-Waldau ( Game of Thrones ) is Rayburn Swanson , a former hunter who now lives in isolation, running a wildlife sanctuary named after his missing daughter. Years after she vanished, Rayburn is just barely functioning—haunted, grieving, and clinging to the hope that she might still return. When a murdered girl turns up in the woods with eerie similarities to his daughter's disappearance, the local sheriff, Alice Gustafson ( Annabelle Wallis ), launches an investigation. Rayburn, meanwhile, accidentally crosses paths with a mysterious masked figure hunting a girl on his land. This encounter pulls him into the heart of the case in ways he never expected. The investigation twists, misleads, and slowly unravels, building toward a reveal that isn’t obvious—and intentionally so. Nothing is as straightforward as it seems. Themes of Grief and Family What makes The Silencing compelling is...
