Lucifer: Every Season Finale Ranked Worst To Best (So Far)
Before it ends, here's a look back to see which season finale of Lucifer went out on top!
On paper a show like Lucifer probably shouldn't have worked. The premise of the Devil leaving Hell and then deciding to spend his time solving crimes with the LAPD in a crime-of-the-week format feels like an idea that should have been destined to fail.
However, the series was so popular that even after its cancellation on Fox fans were so passionate that they campaigned for the show to get renewed. Fortunately Netflix happened to notice and picked up Lucifer where it continued to be a hit, with its sixth and final season scheduled for release soon.
Lucifer has managed to pull off a lot of highs during its run and this is especially true of the finales, which are always a blast. While some are better than others none of them are bad and all offer a chance to payoff whatever the series has been building towards during that season, as well as having to deal with whatever villain thinks they have what it takes to go against the King of Hell.
So before the end of the show it's time to take a look back at which finales came out on top and which came up just short.
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.
