Lucifer: Every Season Finale Ranked Worst To Best (So Far)

5. Take Me Back To Hell - Season 1

While none of the finales are bad unfortunately something has to come in last and, when looking at what the show would go on to do, the first season's is easily the weakest.

This is less to do with the quality of the episode itself however, as Take Me Back To Hell in isolation is still very entertaining. The main highlight being Amenadiel and Lucifer having to work together after spending the entire first season at each other's throats. Tom Ellis and D.B. Woodside have fantastic chemistry and seeing them play off each other is always a treat.

This was also the first time the audience got to see Hell. The tight and winding corridors combined with the darker lighting gives off a claustrophobic and oppressive atmosphere. It's a unique design and works well.

What brings the episode down is the villain, Malcolm. He's not especially complex, he's just a greedy jerk who doesn't want to go to Hell. He's also not much of a threat either. When the other villains of the show include celestials and Biblical figures, a regular human isn't much of a challenge for the King of Hell.
