Today, I'm gonna talk to you about one of my favorites tv-shows: Lucifer. Te first thing i must clarify is that this serie is based on Vertigo's comic, but it's not an accurate nor exact adaptation. This Lucifer doesn't relate to the one in Constantine's movie either. I'm a big fan of DC comics and i love adaptations that are as close as they could be of the comcis, it can bother me a bit if tv/movie makers make some changes, but this show is so well done that it doesn't bother me at all.
La historia nos cuenta como Lucifer, el ángel caído, se cansa de ser reinar en el infierno y decide a mudarse a Los Angeles, allí se vuelve consultor de LA PD, junto con la detective Decker comienzan a resolver crímenes. A la par, Lucifer lleva una discoteca que tiene por nombre "Lux". Nuestro protagonista se ve sorprendido por seres bíblicos, como otros ángeles (sus hermanos), Eva e incluso Dios tanto en la forma cristiana que conocemos como en su versión femenina. La serie nos muestra el camino a la humanización de Lucifer.
The story tell us how Lucifer, the fallen angel, gets tired of reigning in hell and decides to move to Los Angeles, there he becomes an LA PD consultant and in company of Detective Decker starts to solve murders. At the same time Lucifer has a bar called "Lux". Our main character is usually surprised by other biblical creatures as other angels (his siblings), Eve and even God in his usual cristian form and in a femenine version. The serie show us the way to Lucifer humanization.
El elenco no es perfecto, pero hay papeles que están excelentemente seleccionados, empezando por quien empersona a "el diablo", el actor gales Tom Ellis. A pesar de que no encuadra con el fenotipo de Lucifer porque este en los cómics es rubio, no me imagino otra persona en el papel. Ellis desprende seguridad y sexualidad (características muy representativas de nuestro personaje) que junto con un guion que nos pinta a un Lucifer sarcastico y jugueton y un british accent forman una combinación perfecta para un personaje excelente. Tambien tenemos otras actuaciones remarcables como el de la terapista de Lucifer, la doctora Linda Martin interpretada por Rachel Harris (Suits) y el de forense Ella Lopez interpretado por Aimee Garcia.
The cast is not perfect, but we have some amazing castings, starting by the person who acts as"the devil", welsh actor Tom Ellis, even when he doesn't fullfil phenotype because he's blond, now i can not imagine someone else being Lucifer. Ellis transpires security and sexuality (two very representative aspects of our devil), that together with an script that show us a sarcastic and playful Lucifer and his british accent make a perfect combination to an amazing impersonation. There are also other remarkable perfomance as Lucifer's therapist doc. Linda Martin portrait by Rachel Harris (Suits) and forensic Ella Lopez performed by Aime Garcia.
La serie originalmente era de Fox, luego fue comprada por Netflix, consta de 6 temporadas, de las cuales 4 y la primera parte de la 5ta ya fueron estrenadas. Es hermana de las series de DC producidas por CW, Lucifer incluso apareció en el ultimo cross-over de las mismas. La mejor temporada hasta ahora, en mi opinion es la tercera, cuenta con Tom Welling (Smallville) as Cain. Es una serie a la que vale la pena echarle una miradita, es una comedia bastante ligera que sirve para despreocuparse despues de un día de trabajo. Gracias por llegar hasta aqui, espero hayas disfrutado leyendo, bye!
The show was originally produced by Fox, then it was bought by Netflix, it has 6 seasons, 4 and the first part of season 5 already aired. The show is relative to the DC's shows produced by CW, Lucifer even appeared in their last cross-over. The best seeason so far is the third, which features Tom Welling (Smallville) as Cain. In my opinion, it's a show you should take a look, it's a very light comedy that will help you relieve stress after a long day of working. Thanks for coming this far, i hope you enjoyed. Bye!
