Satan Glamorized in New TV Series ‘Lucifer’

The devil made them do it. Hollywood has sunk to a new low with Fox producing a new crime-drama-horror series premiering early next year called Lucifer.

The devil is the detail in this series centered on Satan himself. But if you’re thinking the King of the Underworld is going to be ghost like carrying a pitch fork in his hand, you’re wrong. Typical Hollywood has elevated the evil one portraying him as a suave, smooth talking, devilishly handsome hunk, who has left his boredom in Hell for a more luxurious life in the city of Angels. How clever. How … well, just stupid.

There is no shortage of blasphemy in the series’ plot as Lucifer Morningstar, aka Satan, decides to leave his underworld throne and retire to Los Angeles where he is the owner of a nightclub. After a murder at his nightclub, Lucifer teams up with a beautiful LAPD detective and uses his powers of drawing out people’s sins to do some “good.” Dexter, call your office. 

In Interview Magazine, ‘Lucifer’ star Tom Ellis commented:

He looks a bit like James Bond—or perhaps a villain out of Jaguar’s “it’s good to be bad” commercial—and has the morals of a debauched investment banker (albeit with a little more heart). “I suppose he's kind of a caddish figure.”

“He read like something out of a high-style theater play by Oscar Wilde or Noel Coward,” he continues. “That gave me the backbone of what I was doing, infused with a bit of rock n’ roll and Mick Jagger. You've got this kind of flamboyant character at the end of it.”

Imagine that, Hollywood has glorified the devil in such a way that he now has a heart. In one of the trailer’s scenes Lucifer even appears to be bewildered if not a little upset when his female counter seems to be “immune to his charms” making the viewer have sympathy towards him.

The ‘Fallin 1,’ as Lucifer’s earthly hot rod license plate reads, has certainly fallen long way from reality and taken any ounce of Hollywood’s sanity with him. 2016 is sure looking hot as hell as ‘Lucifer’ joins another distorted cult TV show making a mockery out of religion called, ‘Preacher.’
