Ranking Every 2017 Comic Book TV Show Worst To Best

19. Lucifer

A spin-off of Neil Gaiman's seminal Sandman comic, Mike Carey's Lucifer series never really seemed destined for either the big or small-screens. Still, it's a reality that, in 2017, we somehow have a Lucifer TV series and not a single adaptation of Sandman in sight.

Even weirder is that Lucifer, another series in Fox's long line of comic book covers, is a police procedural. Better still, the format has actually served the series well, with the third season in particular garnering accolades from across the board for its writing and, for the most part, the strength of its characters.

It's no Constantine, that's for sure. But Lucifer's an enjoyable show when it wants to be. Certainly so, if you can get past the fact the lead was also Gary from BBC's Miranda.
