Lucifer: The Complete Series (Blu-ray Review)
STARRING: Tom Ellis, Lauren German, Kevin Alejandro
RATED: NR/Region: A/1:78/1080P/NUMBER OF DISCS 22
AVAILABLE FROM Warner Home Entertainment
Oh, Lucifer. The show that asked the bold, daring question: What if the literal Prince of Darkness… solved crimes in Los Angeles? And then answered it with five seasons (okay, six, but who’s counting existential crises?) of flirty banter, police procedural clichés, and the kind of slow-burn romance that makes you wonder if Hell is just waiting for two attractive people to admit their feelings.
Starring the impossibly charming Tom Ellis, Lucifer Morningstar is less biblical terror and more nightclub-owning therapy enthusiast with killer cheekbones. The show takes theological angst, daddy issues (hi, God), and celestial warfare and packages it like a glossy CBS procedural that accidentally wandered onto a streaming service and discovered feelings.
To its credit, Lucifer knows exactly what it is: a crime-of-the-week show wearing a devil costume from Spirit Halloween—but, like, the deluxe one with decent stitching. The chemistry between Lucifer and Chloe is the real hook, even if it takes approximately 400 episodes of longing stares and meaningful pauses to get anywhere. Every season promises higher stakes, and every season mostly delivers… emotional growth. Which is fine. Growth is scary. Just ask Satan.
As for the home media situation, Warner Bros. Home Entertainment put out a Complete Series Blu-ray set that is, in true modern fashion, a “budget but we tried” affair. It’s one of those releases where you open the box and are greeted by what feels like 47 discs stacked in the same case like a celestial Jenga tower (NOTE: There is only 22 discs but still). No fancy individual cases, no elaborate booklets—just disc upon disc politely asking you not to smudge them.
That said, it’s still a nice-looking set for what it is. The box art pops, the transfers look solid, and everything is neatly housed in one convenient package so you can binge Lucifer’s journey from smug devil to emotionally available partner without hunting down separate seasons. Is it deluxe? No. Is it practical and reasonably handsome on a shelf? Absolutely.
In the end, Lucifer is comfort food television with horns—ridiculous, self-aware, and powered almost entirely by charisma. It may not redefine prestige TV, but it will absolutely convince you that Hell has excellent lighting and surprisingly progressive therapy options. And honestly, that’s worth a spin.
