Lucifer is the most fun you’ll have watching television since Ash returned to slay the evil dead. The fallen angel, in the form of a handsome, piano playing Brit, complete with a devilish smile, takes a vacation from his duties running hell to spend some quality time with the mortals in L.A.

Pitched as “L.A. Confidential” meets “The Wire” with the horror atmosphere of “Seven.” Detective Jules Bettinger is transferred to a city in Missouri named Victory, which has the worst violent crime statistics in the country. There, the detective is partnered with a rough local officer named Dominic, a thuggish fellow who was demoted after he and his cohorts publicly brutalized a suspect. Together, the partners investigate a murder case in which the victim was sexually violated postmortem, navigating the blasted, cannibalized zones of the collapsed rust belt city, its hostile inhabitants and their own uneasy alliance.
