When two gruesome murder videos appear on a social-media site, Lucifer and Chloe deduce they have a serial killer on their hands. Meanwhile, Lucifer’s mom returns, while Amenadiel, who is struggling with a loss of power, meets with Linda.

Lucifer has a bit of an interesting episode as Lucifer spends it figuring out what his role is. The episode mainly focuses on someone who is going around murdering people due to social media videos. The concept is ok, but it’s real role is to spotlight the idea of someone who punishes others… like Lucifer is supposed to be doing.

It’s a big of an existential thing he has going on as he figures out exactly what he wants to do and what his purpose is.

As usual Tom Ellis in the title role is absolutely amazing. Full of humor, wit, and charm, it’s a fantastic performance as usual and he really is what will keep you around.

There’s also Lucifer’s mom who has shown up and is getting used to being on Earth and getting used to being human. There’s lots of awkward moments as usual and it brings some solid laughs. Played by Tricia Helfer she has a comedic sense about her that forces Ellis’ Lucifer into a straight man role.

The episode is an ok one in the overall scheme of things and has a purpose, to set Lucifer’s mom along her path. There’s a nice twist at the end that opens up a lot of possibilities and overall I really want to see where things are going. Not the best of the season (or series), but fun enough.

Overall Rating: 8.0
