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.

Conversations with a Killer: The Ted Bundy Tapes

This is not the sort of show which I usually talk about on this blog. However, as a psychologist, I’m usually quite curious in regards to criminals and their minds; and one of these days I started watching this documentary on Netflix . Taking into consideration the kind of thing this is, I can’t say I ‘liked’ it. I mean what you see in there is nothing to like, but I was rather terrified, which is probably the usual response. Nonetheless, it was definitely a good documentary. The eyes of a killer Everything displayed in this story was terrible. The descriptions, Bundy’s posture, everything seemed like some sort of horror show, putting into perspective what we may consider to be lucky or unlucky in this life. Before I even start watching it, I read somewhere that this was the kind of thing you shouldn’t watch alone. Sounds accurate right now. At the time, and considering my, mostly academic, experience, I didn’t think that this could actually be so upsetting.

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.  A Show That Grows Beyond Sheldon While you may start watching due to curiosity about Sheldon's early years, it soon becomes clear that this is not just about his childhood. The show includes an incredible variety of characters with their own charm and depth. Mary (Sheldon's religious yet compassionate mother), George (his often misunderstood father), and his siblings, Missy and Georgie, are all given their own moments to shine.  The cast and their chemistry make this show stand out. You start to care about each character's struggles and triumphs. This show quickly stands on its own as a heartfelt, family-driven sitcom. Especially in its last seasons, the show becomes a touching portrayal of small-town life, family dynamics, and personal

The Three-Body Problem: Unexpected and Challenging

  The Three-Body Problem on Netflix is a captivating and intriguing series that delves into the realms of science fiction with a unique and thought-provoking storyline. You can't let go from the first episode, even when you feel lost in the plot. Engaging and Intriguing The show excels in drawing viewers in with its complex narrative and engaging plot development.  From the beginning, the audience is immersed in a world of mystery, suspense, and scientific concepts that challenge the imagination. The intricate web of characters and events keeps viewers on the edge of their seats. Flat Ending to Anticipate Season 2 After so much suspense and mystery, the season finale was a bit disappointing. Yet, it left us wanting more. I believe that for many viewers, it heightened the excitement for what lies ahead. With the foundation laid in the initial season, there is great potential for the upcoming season to address any lingering questions and provide, once more, good entertainment. Chal
