Anyone else watch the premiere of "Lucifer"?

[Manifestor_of_Light]

I watched it because it came on after X-Files.

Interesting. Big black angel guy with black wings follows him and tells him to get out of Los Angeles and go back to hell. He tells everyone his name is Lucifer Morningstar.

1. They took the premise, and several of the characters from a 90s comic book series.

It was originally a spinoff of the classic Sandman series, though the show seems to be taking it in a very different direction.

It'll be interesting to see if the fundies go berserk over a show with a sympathetic (if smarmy and annoying) Satan protagonist.

7. You really had to wonder about that?

Here you go: http://www.joemygod.com/2016/01/26/one-million-moms-vs-fox-tv/

Contact Olive Garden, who sponsored the spiritually dangerous program “Lucifer” and paid corporate dollars to promote their restaurants in association with the content of the program.

Use the information we have provided on our website, and let Olive Garden know that its advertising dollars are supporting sympathy towards the devil and glorifying Satan and that financial support should be pulled immediately.

11. ROFLMAO!

I guess, I mean, they had the same thought in Anne Rice's novels as well.

I actually quite enjoyed this show.

2. I liked it.

It was a good show, and the guy playing Lucifer is a real hoot.

3. My daughter and I liked it

set DVR from "record show" to "record series."

Interesting how he doesn't _seem_ to want to be bad for badness sake but for punishment of the wicked.

I'll find out wife's opinion tomorrow when she gets a chance to see it.

4. Seems to be based on the Jewish concept

Of an angel who is doing his job to weed out/punish bad persons (albeit perhaps in an overly enthusiastic manner) vs. the dualistic approach of a rebellious angel found in Christianity.

I perhaps take such things too seriously, so while it sounds entertaining, I won't be watching the show as the topic creeps me out.

5. I loved it and have a major crush on the cute angel playing Lucifer.

Very entertaining.

[Laffy Kat]

6. Me too.

I thought he was kinda "hot".

8. He was in a short-lived series about a durg addited doctor.

He definitely stands out from the crowd.

I missed the show the other day but got a copy today but haven't had time to watch it.

9. Thanks to your heads up, I watched it last night.

Fascinating idea. If it's done right, could be a contender.

10. I enjoyed it.

I was curious because I was thinking that this was the DC character Lucifer Morningstar, which is part of the Constantine/Sandman and therefore Arrow/Flash universe, particularly since Constantine was a guest star in Arrow.

That would be fun!

12. Dumbing down of a great comic.

The dour, arrogant title character is portrayed as a smug bastard, and sexed up.

Seems enjoyable, but...ham-fisted. I would probably like it a lot more were I not comparing it to what I've read.
