Chapter 77.

"Thank you so much, Ian. We are really hitting it high. Number one in 78 countries including the USA, that is huge, thank you," Ted Peter said.

He was the CEO, chief content officer, and one of the directors of Leo TV. Just as Ian wanted, he came to meet Ted to talk about the success of Lucifer. Ted was smiling from ear to ear ever since he got in and talked a lot about how the filmings went, the promos, and how good it is going right now.

"Leo TV and Renner's Studio worked hard for it, and I was actually expecting its success all along," Ian said.

"Not gonna lie, it's a total rage on the internet. They do praise how original the idea is and how good the personality of Lucifer is. Chad… Didn't fail to amaze us," Ted said.

"Yeah, I watched a few episodes yesterday, it was good. Although I do kind of feel bad to think that I couldn't meet up while the filmings were going on," Ian said not feeling great about that.

"Oh hey, don't say that. I'm sure the other project will be a hit too," Ted tried to cheer Ian up.

"Of course, it will be," Ian muttered and took a sip from the coffee in front of him.

"Leo TV would really like to start working on the next season. I mean, look at the comments, the sooner we start the bigger it is going to be. Also, I met Mason the other day when I actually came to talk with you,"

"Oh, did you? Why did you want to meet me though?"

"Just to share the final cuts, Marcello did a good job with the directing, and we tried to contact you, but I was just passing by, it was not that big of a deal," Ted said while brushing the idea off with his hands.

"I was not here as you know now,"

"Yeah, two productions on the way. Isn't it great now?" Ted was feeling extra chirpy with all the success he tasted.

"Haha.. Of course, but tiring. The premiere of Green Book might be at the end of this month, I will make sure to put your name on the list for the premier," Ian said, sipping down the final drops of coffee which were on his cup.

"Yes, please. I would love to see another blockbuster, the specialty would be me watching it at the premiere instead of the theatre. Haha… I will have to take my family anyway," He said while they both laughed. "When can we expect the script for the second season by the way?" Ted questioned after a while.

"Give me two months to get it done. I have the ideas with me anyway, just need some time to type them down just the way I imagine them," Ian said with a smile.

"That sounds like a promise, Ian. This sure is your season of harvest, oh let's see the numbers shall we? The profits are hitting the peak I bet," Ted said and started typing on the computer.

Ever since the release, Ted had been refreshing the computer screen whenever he got the chance. Not even once was he disappointed.

"Wow, this is something for sure," Ian said while Ted showed the profits.

[...] They kept talking for an hour about the numbers, profits, and how they would continue the series. From time to time Ted would praise again how much of a success Lucifer turned out to be.

"It has been a pleasure meeting you, Ian. I hope to meet you again in a much better place, like the premier," Ted said and extended his hand which Ian shook politely.

"Looking forward to it," He said and left the building.

The Devil's Advocate: Please, Give Lucifer a Chance

It would be a sin to overlook this Leo TV drama—but as its first season arrived, it's not too late to appreciate its many charms.I am asking you, nicely, to go to Hell.

Lucifer unleashed its first 10 episodes on Leo TV Friday, and though I've seen the show's swan song, I'm not going to ruin it for the fans. This bit of Satan-adjacent advocacy is, for the most part, directed at those unfamiliar with Lucifer, which debuted one thousand years ago (i.e., early 2016).

But before I start trying to win over newbies, I will say this to the Lucifam: We did enjoy a lot watching this and hope to see the next season by the end of this year. Lucifam, go and rewatch, this is your notification to do it. Go, what more are you reading?

If you are willing to sample Lucifer for the first time, you should know that, over the episodes, it's gotten looser, funnier, more sure of itself, and more emotionally engaging, all while showing admirable fealty to the building blocks of quality mainstream television. The arcs typically contain smartly structured twists and reveal, and almost every episode contains pleasing dramatic tension, top-tier banter, and thematic connections to whatever the core characters are going through.

The episodes got longer in the middle of its run—but like me, you may find yourself exclaiming, "Wait, a streaming drama that isn't overly gloomy and doesn't meander? Am I actually in Heaven?"

The show, loosely based on a DC comic book character, is named for one of its protagonists: Lucifer Morningstar, a playboy who likes sex, drugs, and rock 'n' roll. Running an L.A. club named Lux allows him to indulge in all those things with willing partners of all genders, even though, if he were abiding by his Father's wishes, Lucifer would be spending yet more eons ruling Hell. Through a series of only-in-TV misadventures, he ends up working with a straight-laced detective and yes—please, just go with it—they solve crimes. Lucifer (the character) also has a schtick: By fixing suspects with his charismatic stare and asking them what they desire, Lucifer can elicit their true motivations, which often helps him and Det. Chloe Decker (Zara Gomez) crack cases.

As the show found its groove, Lucifer's deft melding of imaginative character arcs, its compassionate exploration of the abandonment, rejection, and insecurity most of its characters feel, and its frisky, good-hearted humor made it one of a kind. It stands out even more in a TV landscape that's increasingly full of dramas that take themselves seriously while under-delivering on numerous crucial fronts. Lucifer is also, under its witty exterior, quite respectful not just of faith, but of the difficulty of overcoming deep psychic wounds. (Lucifer, naturally, sees a therapist.)

If nothing else, Lucifer provides an object lesson in how to take a TV narrative initially centered on an entitled white man with different issues, broaden it in dozens of smart ways, and make it not just sex-positive, energetic, inclusive, and smart, but surprisingly deep and humane. Over the episodes, the drama and its ensemble were so quietly good at what they did, and this can be taken as one of the most enjoyable and consistently excellent shows on television.

I don't want to say goodbye to any of these people, so I'm rewatching Lucifer. The characters that Chad Carter and Zara Gomez play are amazing. All in all, the script was by Ian Renner. We are not even surprised at this moment. So, I will conclude my article about Lucifer.

Lucifer may not be the devil you know; this one plays the piano, loves a Bones marathon, and gets cranky when sinners imply he made them do anything. Given that free will is a thing (probably?. I'm going to name this a–must-watch!

@DonatemeyourB00.1.

It is an intriguing concept and Chad Carter is very good but the scripts and story lines are generic and predictable. A biker club as the bad guys? Oh come on, that is so 1970's. But, that aside, entertaining n a superficial way.

@TakemetoHell

Oh wow! I changed my username too XOXO. Season 1 was a superb Entry to this series and re-binging it really puts into perspective how far this show had grown! All the cheeky quips, puns & Silliness really made this a treat to watch!

@serious_Critic6090

Even though it's locked into the "procedural... but with a twist" format, Chad Carter as the titular character is such a delight to watch, that this first season becomes highly addictive and entertaining very fast.
