Lucifer S2E7 My Little Monkey Review
After the man convicted of killing Chloe’s father is murdered, new clues suggest he was framed; Maze looks for a job; Lucifer tries to learn how to be normal by watching Dan.
Lucifer focuses heavily on Chloe in this episode diving into her history and specifically her father. We’ve gotten some teasers about him in the past but I believe this is the first time we actually get some information as to what happened to him and especially how that impacted Chloe.
It’s a good one as it’s not quite the normal murder that needs to be solved, instead it feels a bit more personal and not quite a way to get us from a to b. Instead, this adds depth to Chloe and fleshes out her character a bunch.
But, the episode isn’t totally about Chloe. The show does an excellent job of mixing that storyline with some humor and a bit of feels. The humor comes from Lucifer who has decided he wants to figure out how to be a better person and decides to follow Dan. What ensues is something I don’t want to ruin, but this is an episode where I laughed out loud the most this season. It’s solid stuff and as usual Tom Ellis is absolutely amazing in the title role. He just nails every scene he’s in and deserves to go huge in entertainment based on his performance here.
The episode also focuses a bunch on Maze who needs to figure out what she wants to do. She attempts to figure out what her career should be and it’s entertaining and touching too. You realize that Maze doesn’t really have friends and we feel really bad for her. It’s touching in a hell of a lot of ways and it’s great that they’re going to be and have been using the character more than just Lucifer’s lackey.
Another solid episode of a solid series. I can’t complain at all and found myself smiling throughout the hour. Just beyond entertaining and such a fun series.
