Lucifer <3

So, the biggest news this week is that I'm watching Lucifer, finally.  My chat buddy has been going on about it for ages but it wasn't shown here and then Netflix only had the later series.  Randomly, for no reason I can identify, I checked again - and lo and behold, they had ALL the series.  So, I immediately began watching!

I want to say at the outset that I find the idea of Hell incompatible with a loving God.  I'm not even convinced by Heaven - I believe our job is to bring Heaven to Earth.  But I am setting aside personal convictions for the sake of watching a TV show :D

I love that Lucifer isn't evil.  He doesn't enjoy, or promote, wickedness.  He spots, and punishes, wrong behaviour - all the while complaining about his father giving him the job he's clearly best at :D  I also love that the main cast are all in their late 30's but are presented as attractive and desirable - not 'over the hill'.

Oh, and they've clearly used the cutest child they could find for Trixie, which makes Lucifer's horrified reactions to her completely hilarious.  Why is he horrified?  Is there something about the 'innocence of childhood' that he can't get inside of?  I haven't thought about this in any depth - it's only just occurred to me.

Anyway, if you have the opportunity, do watch it.  It's clever, sassy and a LOT of fun.

It's our 30th wedding anniversary on Monday - but that feels like next week's news, which is why Lucifer got top billing here :D
