TV Review: Lucifer S2E8 Trip to Stabby Town

Lucifer TVLucifer links Azrael’s stolen blade to a string of violent stabbings and enlists Ella’s help in locating the sword.

Lucifer is an interesting episode in that it really shakes things up and sets some characters in fascinating directions.

The episode revolves around Azrael’s blade which was used to kill Uriel and it apparently calls out to people and forces them into a murder frenzy that gets worse and worse. The motion of it all is put in place by an interesting person and I’m not going to say who, but the episode really starts pitting various members against God.

We saw that a bit in past episodes and the season seems to be delving more and more into what happened between everyone and where exactly is God through all of this.

But, there’s so much in this episode to unpack. We learn more about this celestial item. We get to see Lucifer interact more with his shrink. There’s some great moments around team Luci. But, I think what’s interesting is we see Lucifer panicking that the knife is out there. And we see him show compassion too.

But, there’s that knife. Who was behind it getting loose and why is interesting and really sets things up in the future as to where the season goes. There’s been a lot of references to Death for example and I’m predicting we’ll see her show up at some point.

The series continues to impress me with fantastic acting and some solid plotting and banter. It’s a show that really entertains, but this season has also delved more into the philosophical end of things. It’s a show you can enjoy as an entertaining show and it’s also a show that looks to challenge our beliefs.

Out of all of the comic adaptations on television currently, Lucifer continuously shows off why it’s one of the best.
