Season 4’s only misstep

Oddly enough, the worst episode was the first episode. The vibe was off for most of the runtime, with characters feeling a tad out of character at moments. This was worrisome for obvious reasons; you only get one chance to make a first impression. Nevertheless, while the episode wasn’t clicking, otherwise it looked amazing.

The move to Netflix gave the show a different color. There’s a certain type of crispiness and style that’s eye-popping in this season, with the dark hues from previous seasons almost gone completely. This new aesthetic choice definitely helped in setting the mood for the rest of the season, since as previously mentioned, “Everything’s Okay” got off on the wrong start. Despite its shortcomings, it had its moments though.

Whenever Tom Ellis gets to sing is always a plus, with his opening song once more becoming a series best. But besides Lucifer Morningstar’s reintroduction, there really isn’t much to praise in episode one. Of course, it’s only the first episode, but with it named “Everything’s Okay,” it almost felt like the exact opposite. Thankfully, that wasn’t the case.

It’s rare when each episode on a show tops the last, and that’s exactly what happened once episode one ended. By episode three when Eve made her Lucifer debut, everything was not only okay, it was excellent. The fun, the feels and the laughs were just getting started.
