The Devil himself has taken over Los Angeles, but Lucifer Morningstar (Tom Ellis) is far from the evil, fire-spitting monster we imagined. In this Netflix series, Lucifer is a charming, complex character that we can’t help but love. Here are 9 reasons why we adore Lucifer’s character:
1. He Doesn’t Take Himself Too Seriously
Lucifer is a fun-loving bachelor who’s always up for a good time. He owns a nightclub, enjoys partying, and has a penchant for sarcasm and wit. His light-hearted demeanor and sensual ways make him the most endearing devil we’ve ever encountered.
2. Lucifer is Surprisingly Loving
Despite his “bad boy” persona, Lucifer’s character is incredibly caring. He’s committed to helping his friends, like Charlotte and Candy, and is great with Chloe’s daughter. His therapy sessions with Linda reveal his desire to build meaningful connections with those around him.
3. He’s Relatable
Lucifer struggles with childhood issues that affect his relationships and self-perception. His desperate need for his father’s approval and love makes him feel unworthy, and in many ways, his struggles are relatable as we all have some form of childhood trauma that impacts our lives.
4. Lucifer’s Love for Chloe
The slow-burning romance between Chloe and Lucifer has captivated us. Though he can be self-centered, Lucifer is devoted to being there for Chloe in any way she needs. Once they’re officially together in Season 5, it’s clear that affection is his love language – something unexpected from the Devil himself.
5. He’s a Crime Solver
In each episode, Lucifer helps Chloe solve cases, even though he’s not a detective and isn’t getting paid. His dedication to protecting humans shows his love for humanity, despite being the Devil.
6. Lucifer is a Good Brother
Lucifer’s relationship with his celestial sibling, Amenadiel, starts off strained but deepens as the show progresses. Lucifer’s willingness to do anything for his brother reveals that he’s not a tyrant, but rather someone with unresolved issues.
7. He’s Irresistible to Everyone
Lucifer’s charm is undeniable. He makes friends everywhere he goes and even has a bromance with Chloe’s ex-husband. His supernatural ability to compel people to reveal their desires, combined with his humanity, makes him irresistible to those around him.
8. He’s Talented
Who would’ve thought the Lord of Hell could carry a tune? In the first season, Lucifer surprises us with a delightful piano and song performance. Tom Ellis sings Eternal Flame, showcasing his musical talent. Lucifer’s witty one-liners and ability to work a sexual innuendo into any sentence further prove his skills.
9. Lucifer’s Character Evolves
What we love most about Lucifer is his constant growth and change for the better. While he remains a self-absorbed, party-loving narcissist, he learns to take accountability for his misfortunes and slowly addresses his daddy issues.
