"Lucifer" - even the devil needs a break sometimes

Lucifer's name is Program, just different from what you would expect at first sight. The protagonist of the series, Lucifer, the devil personally, is fed up with his existence in the underworld. He is bored of his divine mission to guard the souls of sinners and criminals and finally wants to get some fresh air. To escape his daily routine of fire and brimstone, he leaves hell and lands in Los Angeles.
The city in southern California is now the linchpin of the series. The city is increasingly falling for the glamor of the city, the devil operates exclusively a nightclub in the city of angels. The 'Lux' offers him a decent and wicked living opportunity for a few years, from where he delights in the city of angels.
After the murder of a friend, Lucifer gets a chance to use his superhuman abilities, which cause people to reveal his deepest desires to good use. He also lands a hit to banish his boredom: he hires as a supporter at the Los Angeles Police Department. As a confidant and the only person who knows how to resist, Detective Chloe Decker, a former porn actress and now a tough Los Angeles police detective, is partnering with Lucifer.

It develops a multi-layered plot, which deals with the crime cases to be solved and the city of Los Angeles on the one hand and the interpersonal problems and connections on the other hand.
Lucifer's contact with Detective Decker is well received. While ex-husband Dan, or "Detective Douche," as Lucifer calls him, is not thrilled with the new connection, daughter Trixie quickly frets herself with her mum's strange colleague.

But by the way, Lucifer also has to take care of his old life - Brother Amenadiel worries about the ever growing unrest in the rulerless underworld and tries his brother, sometimes more, sometimes less successful, to return to his place on the throne of hell move. With his companion and loyal subordinate, the demoness Mazikeen, Lucifer has an old acquaintance at his side, which although supporting his work in Los Angeles, secretly longs for a return to hell. The bartender of his nightclub is fast becoming a confidant of Trixie - a connection that could not be trickier.

The series follows Lucifer on his journey from the Underworld Lord to an almost full member of the LAPD - with all the highs and lows that earthly life has to offer a fallen angel. People drawn by involuntary encounters with Lucifer's superhuman powers line his path, his penchant for egomania keeps him moving to enforce his own will and act less restrained than the LAPD would.
Cornerstones of the series are the insights into the soul life of a demon prince: The devil, plagued by mental problems, goes into treatment with the psychologist Dr. med. Linda Martin, who tries to give the pronounced egomaniac Lucifer a trace of empathy and humanity.

Interrupted by bizarre excursions into the thought-life of an earth-turning prince of darkness and more or less credible criminal cases, Lucifer is a series that can be a hell of a fun, if you get involved with the crazy premise.

Trivia:
The nightlife and the devil: Of course it had to come to a small protest storm. So the conservative American Family Association (AFA) tried to prevent the broadcast of the program, as Satan would be portrayed as a sensitive and lovable person and would be glorified. The petition, however, reached just over 31,000 signatures.
