Hoewel ik het betwijfel of Lucifer wel een tweede seizoen gaat halen, is het een verdomd lekkere serie die heerlijk weg kijkt. Want de duivel die de hel zat is en zich vermaakt op de aarde is een heel leuk concept, en goed voor de nodige komische momenten. De website Collider had een interview met Tom Ellis die de rol van Lucifer speelt, en daar van kan je hier onder alvast een stukje lezen.

What do you think he's really looking for?

ELLIS: I think to be judged for his own doing and not what people assume of him. I think he'd love to find that sense of peace somewhere. We're picking up at this rudderless stage of his life where he's left Hell and decided to go to Los Angeles and do his thing. At his heart, there's a really lonely person. To have a true connection with somebody is what he doesn't realize he wants. As much as he flaunts the, "I'm a devil," thing as a security blanket, there's a real soul in there. At the very heart of what this show is, it's a redemption story about the most irredeemable character that we know.

How much has being rejected by his father really affected Lucifer?

ELLIS: Hugely! For me, that's the cornerstone of his want for something different. He bears a huge resentment toward his father and anyone who attributes their faith to his father. He's like, "You don't know! You don't know what he did to me!" We allude to the fact that he was the favorite son until this big fall. Not to invoke any theology into it, I've tried to perceive it as a very human dilemma. His relationship with his father is as human as any other person's and as real as any other person's. That's the driving force behind his path to redemption, even though I don't think he realizes it.
