Vegas, baby! This episode was a blast, but only because I don't take the show too seriously. Otherwise, the plot holes and Lucifer and Ella's cheerful running around the crime scene in Vegas would drive me nuts. But in this context, I don't mind at all. I enjoyed the humor and loved seeing Candy again.

No Mazikeen, no five stars. The demon might be missing, but the return of a rather frazzled Charlotte Richards wasn’t bad at all. The story was interesting, had good pacing, and the Heavenly Pudding commercial was a hit with Lucifer. Overall, I had a pretty good time.

Well, that didn’t last long... The demon's gone again, which put a damper on things. The opening with the yoga instructor was great, but the rest of the episode didn’t impress me as much. 4*-

Finally! Mazikeen shows up in the third episode, and thankfully, she steals the whole show. I had a lot more fun with this one compared to the previous episodes. The Canada invasion was hilarious, the story was funny throughout, and Mazikeen taking everything literally was just the cherry on top (or the button on the stitch?).

The second episode is pretty much the same as the first. My favorite demon is still missing in action, and Lucifer himself used to be more dazzling. Still, I laughed a lot and had a good time throughout. This show is perfect for a chill afternoon.

I'm happy to say the show is still the same fun, lighthearted entertainment that often makes me laugh. However, a few things caught me off guard. I missed Mazikeen, and I wasn’t thrilled with the latest changes to Lucifer’s powers.

Season 3 was the weakest one so far in my view. It wasn't bad, though. The biggest problem is that the creators had me overhyped with the previous two seasons. Despite their best effort, they couldn't match their previous work. The Cali cartel bosses lacked Escobar's charisma, and a similar thing happened concerning the DEA team. Don’t get me wrong, Javier Peña was alright, but it just wasn’t the same without Murphy. I didn’t get hooked on the story this time as much as I did in the previous seasons, although I still enjoyed it.

The season finale didn’t quite hit the mark for me. I was expecting a wholesome conclusion, but instead got a low-fat version. It wasn’t bad, just not particularly impressive. Pacho once again dominated the pre-credits sequence, but the rest of the episode couldn’t keep up with the strong start.

Episode nine kept a great pace throughout, delivering plenty of tense moments and well-executed action. I was just a bit disappointed that I didn't get to see Henao putting together that opening puzzle. I really enjoy how this show balances optimistic moments with total despair.

This episode felt a bit uneven. I was definitely more intrigued by Salcedo navigating the minefield than by the rescue mission for Christina. Still, I enjoyed it overall. There was some interesting action and plenty of tension in Salcedo’s storyline, so I was pretty satisfied.
